Quick Answer
Refilling your hand soap pump with Mrs. Meyer's Lemon Verbena Liquid Hand Soap Refill is a simple way to keep your kitchen or bathroom stocked with a fresh, garden-inspired scent. Follow these steps for a clean, mess-free refill.
Why Use a Refill Instead of a New Bottle?
Using a liquid hand soap refill cuts down on plastic waste and often saves money compared to buying a new pump bottle each time. Mrs. Meyer's Lemon Verbena Liquid Hand Soap Refill is designed to be poured into your existing dispenser, so you keep using the same pump mechanism and bottle.
One trade-off: the refill bottle doesn't have a pump, so you'll need a reusable dispenser on hand. If you don't have one, consider picking up a Mrs. Meyer's hand soap bottle first, then refill it with the Lemon Verbena Refill.
Steps to Refill Your Hand Soap Pump
- 1. Prepare Your Empty Dispenser: Unscrew the pump from your empty Mrs. Meyer's hand soap bottle. Rinse the bottle with warm water if there's residue, then dry it completely. A clean, dry bottle prevents bacteria growth and keeps the soap from getting watery. Don't skip the rinse if the bottle has been sitting for a while—old soap residue can alter the scent of your new refill.
- 2. Open the Refill Bottle: Twist off the cap of the Lemon Verbena Liquid Hand Soap Refill. The refill bottle has a wide mouth, making it easy to pour without splashing. Hold it steady over the sink or a towel in case of drips. Check that the foil seal under the cap is fully removed before pouring.
- 3. Pour Slowly into the Dispenser: Tilt the refill bottle and pour the soap into your dispenser, filling it about 80% full. Leave space at the top so the pump tube can fit without overflowing when you reattach it. Pour slowly to avoid air bubbles that can cause the pump to sputter. If you overfill, the pump may leak when you screw it back on. Leave at least an inch of headspace.
- 4. Reattach the Pump and Test: Screw the pump back onto the bottle tightly. Give it a few gentle pumps until soap dispenses smoothly. If the pump feels stiff or doesn't dispense, check that the tube is fully submerged in the soap. A few dry pumps are normal—the soap needs to travel up the tube. If it still won't pump after 10 tries, the tube might be bent or the bottle overfilled.
- 5. Store the Refill for Later Use: Keep the remaining Lemon Verbena Liquid Hand Soap Refill in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The refill bottle has a secure cap, so it's safe to store under the sink or in a cabinet. Use within the expiration date printed on the bottle for best scent and performance. Don't refrigerate the refill—temperature changes can affect the soap's consistency. Room temperature is ideal.
