  • Top Marks: The touch-free sensor is exceptionally reliable, genuinely cutting down on germ spread.
  • Heads Up: It only takes specific Rubbermaid refills, so be sure to budget for them.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Flour Pot Bakery" in Manchester needed to streamline their washroom maintenance. Their small but busy customer toilet had a manual dispenser that was constantly empty, messy, and  looked unprofessional. They installed three Rubbermaid GD846 dispensers across their staff and  public facilities.

"Honestly, the difference is night and  day. We're not dealing with sticky soap puddles on the counter anymore, and  the refills last for ages. Our staff can focus on the customers, not on constantly checking the loo roll and  soap. It just works."

Michael Davies – Owner

The switch resulted in a measured 35% reduction in soap consumption and  saved an estimated 2 hours of staff time per week on washroom checks and  clean-ups.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before you start, make sure the wall surface is clean, dry, and  strong enough to hold the full dispenser.
  • Use the provided fixings for a secure installation. It’s worth using a spirit level to get it perfectly straight.
  • Pop in four C-cell batteries (sold separately), making sure they're facing the right way as shown inside the unit.
  • Once the refill is in, hold your hand under the sensor a few times to prime the pump until foam appears.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the white autofoam dispenser exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh chemical sprays.
  • Gently wipe the sensor 'eye' and  the nozzle with a cloth to prevent any soap build-up from blocking them.
  • Stick to genuine Rubbermaid AutoFoam refills. Using other soaps can damage the mechanism and  void the warranty.
  • Check battery levels periodically to ensure the dispenser is always ready for action, especially in high-traffic areas.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Soap Dispenser

Not sure which dispenser is right for your space? Here’s a quick checklist to help you decide.

Foot Traffic

Consider how many people will use it daily. High-traffic areas need a large-capacity dispenser like this 1.1Ltr model to minimise refill frequency.

Hygiene Priority

For any food-handling or public-facing environment, a touch-free model is the gold standard for preventing cross-contamination.

Soap Type

Foam soap, like that used in this dispenser, often feels more luxurious, provides better coverage, and  can use less product per wash than traditional liquid soap.

Installation Space

A wall mounted foam soap dispenser is a fantastic space-saver for smaller washrooms or for keeping counter surfaces clear and  easy to clean.

Long-Term Costs

Look beyond the initial price. A dispenser with a controlled dose system drastically reduces waste, saving you a significant amount on refills over time.

Less Waste, Better Hygiene: The Smart Dosing System Explained

Ever used a manual soap pump and  got a huge, wasteful glob or a tiny, useless dribble? The Rubbermaid GD846's controlled 0.4ml dosage system solves that problem for good.

It's a small technical detail that has a massive impact on both your running costs and  your standards of cleanliness.
