Hi Lynn, 
What comes to mind is automatic soap dispensers, where you hover you hand under 
it and it squirts some out soap. Like 
this:http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=17568949

You'd have to see reviews to check that these really work and last. These would 
surely make it impossible for a kid to squirt on the wall.  

As for the soap itself, there's a brand whose name escapes me but which is sold 
at natural food stores and is completely unscented. You can put it in bulk 
and refill as needed. I'm sure if you shopped around you'd find something you 
like. 

 
Yours in careful handwashing,

Subject: [C-L]_ Handwashing soap


OUR Common House bathroom conundrum is soap dispensers. We didn't  
install the wall-mount ones. We know that bar soap is unhygienic. So  
we use some variation on the pump-top bottles. Unfortunately, unruly  
children at some point seem to have decided that bombing the walls  
with soap squirt was entertaining. Never had an admission, but the  
walls in both bathrooms would seem to tell that tale.

Even for those who are trying to be tidy, some pumps squirt too much,  
or splat stuff about. I invested in some that were supposed to  
dispense soap foam, but they really made a mess.

Ideally, we also want a fragrance-free soap, due to folks' allergies.  
So far, we can get away with a mild citrus scent. Most dispenser soaps  
are horribly scented.

Any ideas for us?

(PS- if anyone is still using "antibacterial' soap in kitchen or  
bathrooms, don't! Even our local county food handlers' training now  
says such soaps are unnecessary and are screwing up our waters and our  
immunities. )
