If you use Dr. Bronner's liquid soap in a pump...

...do you water it down? I saw earlier someone said 1 part soap to 9 parts water, but is that just for special foaming pumps? What if I have just a regular liquid soap pump?

I got three cheapy foaming pumps online and dilute it something like 1:8 or 1:9. Used to be 1:10 but it wasn't foamy enough for us.

you definitely have to dilute it. I would do 1 part soap to 8 parts water so it's still foamy.

Yes, definitely dilute it even for a non-foaming dispenser.

I have to say, I resisted getting a foaming pump because I loved my pretty one and couldn't find a foaming one I liked, but my mom gave me one of her empty Dial pumps and the soap is so much nicer that way!

I use it in both regular and foaming pumps and I dont dilute it.  I dont like the way it looks cloudy when its diluted.  With the foaming its not as super foamy though as when I dilute it.

You should dilute it, it's not designed to be used straight.  I do a 1:10 ratio.  We recently bought this AWESOME foaming soap pump from Amazon, it works soooo well.  It has lines on the back, one with a soap symbol and one with a water symbol, so you don't even have to pay attention when you fill it!  You get a nice, thick lather every time.  Love it.

Thanks girls! I was reluctant to switch to a foaming pump because the soap dispenser I have now is so cool, but SuperGreen, the one you linked to looks awesome!
