It is a common phenomenon for soap dispenser pump to get clogged. When you face this problem, there are two choices available for you. You can unclog the dispenser or you can replace it by installing a new one. Unclogging is a more preferred choice, because a new dispenser is nto cheap.
When the coagulated soap clogging up the dispenser is soluble in water, you do not need any specialized tool for this cleaning job. You just have to protect your hands with thick, waterproof gloves as you have to handle hot water. And the detailed steps are as follows:
First, you have to dismantle the soap dispenser pump and clean up each of its parts separately. Remove its top from the base. You have to unscrew the lid of the dispenser. If the tube that draws the soap is detachable, then you must remove that too. However, keep the head of the pump intact. Pour out the soap left behind in the container. Second, if the solid soapy substances are firmly lodged, simple rinsing is not enough. It should be followed by soaking up of the pump into hot water. Fill up the sink with hot water and submerge the pump and other parts completely into the water. This is done by loosening up the soap residues. Leave it untouched for half an hour. If there are hard deposits of soap, you can soak it overnight in a tub of hot water. After soaking, take a small scrub brush or toothbrush and rub it over the opening of the pump head and other connection points where maximum deposits occur. And then rinse off with plain water.
Finally, you have to clean up the interiors of the body of the soap dispenser pump. If there is mold or mildew growth inside the dispenser, it can lead to clogging up in the pipe and pump later again. To get rid of mold and mildew growth, use a five percent bleach solution. Fill this solution into the dispenser and keep it untouched for about half an hour. The drain it out and rinse the dispenser thoroughly with water. After that, take a little liquid dishwashing soap on a wet sponge and rub it on the outer part of the dispenser and wash it off.
