PLEASE READ:
--------------------

The manufacture does NOT recommend using soap that contains an antibacterial, bleach, chlorine or lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) in the ingredients. These ingredients are in Dawn Dish Soap and Soft Soap so you should NOT use those brands.

If you use a soap that contains these ingredients then over time these chemicals will eat through the protective layers of the pump and cause the pump to rust (pump out a dark color) and/ or stop working.

Palmolive and Dial are better soaps to use. If you do want to use a soap that contains these ingredients you can, and your pump will work for a while, but in the future you may need to replace your pump head.

How long a soap pump lasts depends on how you use, or abuse it. For me these pumps work well but I use the types of soap recommended by the manufacture. I try to buy the highest quality pumps I can but today’s manufactures don’t make items to last forever, especially not at this inexpensive price point. But if you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations you should be able to enjoy your soap pump for quite some time before needing to replace it.



** Be sure to click through all the great pictures!

** Please hand clean items only.

** With gentle care your glass bottle can give enjoyment for quite some time! I've been using my pump head daily for a year now but of course the life of your bottle/pump/bottle label can't be guaranteed and depends on how you use it.

** See my store for other up-cycled bottles turned into a lotion dispenser, soap dispenser, succulent planter, vase, candle holder, serving dish, snack bowl...

** I also do custom orders and can provide the above items in bulk.

** Do you have a favorite alcohol bottle? Contact me to see if I have your favorite bottle in stock.

** You can mail me your favorite bottle and I would be happy to make it into the perfect gift by turning your favorite bottle into a soap dispenser, succulent planter, vase, candle holder, serving dish, snack bowl …. Just CONTACT me for details!

Frequently Asked Questions:
----------------------------------------

* WHY DO SOAP DISPENSERS CLOG? (Quick answer: Using the wrong type of soap, using your soap pump infrequently)

- The manufacture does NOT recommend using soap that contains an antibacterial, bleach, chlorine or lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) in the ingredients. These ingredients are in dish soaps and Soft Soap. So you should NOT use these soaps. If you use a soap that contains these ingredients then over time these chemicals will eat through the protective layers of the pump and cause the pump to rust (pump out a dark color) and/ or stop working (clog, seize).

- Glycerin based soaps can also cause clogs. Try using an olive oil based liquid soap instead or try adding water to your soap to thin the glycerin. 

- Dial or olive oil based soaps are better soaps to use. 



* CAN I USE DISH SOAP WITH MY NEW SOAP PUMP? 

- Dish soaps are full of harsh chemicals and they are very thick/concentrated. This means they are likely to cause clogs and they may strain your pump causing it to seize/ stop pumping. If your pump is clogged and you push down on it the soap will be forced to find an exist other than out the tip of the pump (such as around the neck of the pump). 

- If you really want to use your pump to dispense dish soap you can try watering down your soap, choosing a soap that doesn’t have harsh chemicals and clean your pump often so you remove clogs before they seize your pump. Please keep in mind most dish soaps will shorten the life of your pump.


Are you using your soap pump often enough? - Infrequent use can let the soap or lotion sit inside the pump and dry out. If you try to pump the soap/lotion out and feel resistance stop pumping, and clean your pump. If you keep pumping you can break the spring inside your pump. The solution is to use your pump frequently, do not use concentrated soaps, clean your pump and the tip of the pump regularly. 


* WHY DO SOAP DISPENSERS RUST? (Quick answer: Using the wrong soap; leaving soap on the pump spout; not cleaning your pump)

- There is a protective finish on your pump to discourage rusting. But repeated use, hard water and soaps can slowly eat away this protection. The solution is to wipe off any soap that accumulates on the tip of the pump with a non-scratch scouring pad then rub a little Vaseline or beeswax on the metal. This creates a barrier so oxygen can’t get to the metal and cause further rust. White vinegar with warm water may help with minor rust inside the pump. If the brand of soap you’re using builds up on the pump tip try adding water to your soap to thin it. You can also try using a soap that contains less glycerin or clean your pump more frequently.

- If your pump has rusted on the inside (rusty colored soap) there isn’t a fix for this except to purchase a new pump and in the future only use the soap types recommended by the manufacture. 



* WHY DO SOAP DISPENSERS DRIP? (Quick answer: soap is too thick) 

- If you use concentrated, thick or glycerin based soaps then your pump might occasionally drip soap from the tip. Thicker soaps stay at the top of the soap dispenser instead of falling back down. 
-Try pump water or water + white vinegar through the pump
- Thin your soap with distilled water so the soap is less concentrated.
-Do not soak or submerge your soap pump under water.



* HOW LONG DO SOAP PUMPS LAST? 

How long a soap pump lasts depends on how you use, or abuse it. For me these pumps work well but I use the types of soap recommended by the manufacture. 

I try to buy the highest quality pumps I can but today’s manufactures don’t make items to last forever, especially not at this inexpensive price point. But if you follow the manufacturer’s recommendations you should be able to enjoy your soap pump for many months before needing to replace it. Pumps can last from 4 months to 2 years before a replacement may be needed. 

Pumps that break quickly were used with the wrong type of soap/lotion, were used infrequently, or were damaged by hard water. 

I test each pump by pumping water through it to make sure it works before I ship it to you. If your pump has a manufacturer’s defect you can ship it back to me within 60 days of your purchase date for a refund or replacement of the pump piece only. I also sell replacement pumps if you need one in the future.

I have these pumps in all 3 of my bathrooms and they are subjected to the use of many people including my not so gentle children. So far they all work great. 



* HOW DO I CLEAN MY SOAP DISPENSER PUMP? 

- Before each soap refill clean your pump. Pump out remaining soap/lotion. Pump warm water (distilled if possible) + vinegar through your pump until it pumps freely. Clean other areas with toothpick, pipe cleaner. 
- Do not use harsh cleaners to clean your pump.
- Do not put your pump in the dishwater
- Do not submerge your pump under water

How Long Until My Order Ships?

* Contact me if you need your item shipped ASAP. For non urgent shipments I need 3-5 business days to personally handcraft your order and then transit time of 2-4 days for Priority Mail and 1-3 days for Express Mail. (Steel address planters take 1-2 weeks production time)

* I offer FAST USPS Priority Mail, cheaper USPS Ground or FedEx at checkout. 

* Again please contact me if you need a rush order. Otherwise I will ship in 3-5 business days since I personally hand make each and every order myself. Sometimes I can ship sooner if I can get my little ones to bed early :)

* Unless you request otherwise, I try to ship all orders containing plants Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so they don't end up sitting in a post office or postal truck over the weekend.

 

How much is shipping?

* To get a shipping quote please add one or more of my handcrafted items to your shopping cart then proceed to checkout. This will give you several shipping options. 

* PLEASE CONTACT ME if you are ordering 2+ items and are quoted > $29 to ship 2 alcohol bottle items. Also contact me if you are charged >$15 to ship 2 drinking glasses.

* Live plant items must ship with Priority Mail.

* Small items under 1 pound can ship with slow but cheaper USPS First Class Mail.  No insurance is included with First Class Mail but you can upgrade to Priority Mail which includes up to $100 in shipping insurance.

* FedEx or UPS is slower than USPS Priority Mail, but may be cheaper for orders needing larger boxes or orders that are heavy. 

** The online shipping calculator is usually correct.  If you are placing a large order with many items you can email me and ask me to review your shipping quote.  I may need several days to review your shipping quote for accuracy.  For a shipping quote review please email me a screen shot showing all items in your order, the shipping rates being quoted and the address the items are being shipped to. With this information I can look for cheaper shipping and get back to you in a few days. 

* FYI Shipping companies are now charging “Dimensional Shipping” rates.  This means that the rate is often based on the box size even if the box doesn’t weigh very much.  I may send you a 3 pound box but they will charge box of us for a 13 pound shipment because that is the rate they have assigned to that size box.  I use the most economical boxing I can but my items need lots of padding to protect from breakage.

 

I want a bottle I don’t see in your shop:

* Do you have a favorite alcohol bottle? Contact me to see if I have your favorite bottle in stock. My husband complains that my bottle collection takes up too much room! I have lots of bottles that don’t get listed because I only have 1 of them or because my little ones keep me too busy to put all my items online.

* Do you have a special bottle that is just sitting around taking up space? You can mail me your favorite bottle and I would be happy to make it into the perfect gift by turning your favorite bottle into a soap dispenser, succulent planter, vase, candle holder, serving dish, snack bowl, candy dish, ash tray, pendant light shade or something you saw on Pinterest …. Just email me for details! I’m happy to do custom orders!

 

About my bottles:

* Remember to ZOOM IN on my pictures, look at the edges and see what a difference professional machining makes!

* I also apply a surface protectant to the bottle itself that repels fingerprints, hard water minerals... Giving the bottle a brighter appearance and making fingerprints easy to wipe away.

* My bottles come from friends, country clubs and restaurants. I take pride in what I make and only ship bottles I would use as gifts. We are giving new life to a used bottle that otherwise would have spent nearly 1 million years in a landfill! True! If the quality of the label or the color of the foil on the bottle neck (when included) is important please let me know and I will do my best to find a bottle that is just right for you.

 

Can I pick my bottle?

* You can pick some aspects:


- Use the drop down menu to select if you want a drainage slit in your bottle. Plants will do better if you add a drainage hole.


- (For Wine Bottles) label on or label off? Please use drop down menu to select label on or off.


- Wine bottles come in various shades of brown, green, clear... I will select a beautiful colored bottle for you unless you send me a specification. Wine bottles maybe cork top or screw top, red wine bottle, white wine bottle or a champagne bottle in shape (based on availability).


* If you have a strong preference please send me your preferences in the "NOTES" section during CHECKOUT. Bottle colors/bottle shapes are subject to availability and there may be an extra charge for special requests such as a particular brand, bottle shape & glass color.  I have to charge a fee for such requests because it can take me a very long time to unpack all my bottles to find one that meets all of your specifications.
