We have recently installed NON-alcohol based foam hand sanitizer in all of our 6 schools. We not only researched the products in great detail, but also checked with our local Board of Health. The statement from the Board concluded that the product we are using contains the acceptable hand cleaner for kitchen workers-therefore is appropriate for the school environment. We based our decisions on safety: non-flammable and non-toxic!

The Soapopular dispensers we put up at the Seabrook School in MD are great! They are going through the juice like crazy! I think we will need to order some more gallons for next year after we make more money from our Christmas tree lot. Save the coupon for me!
The pen dispensers were also a huge hit. The teachers loved that they could drop them into their purses or pen holders

..I don't know why we always seem to stress alcohol -based hand sanitizes. It may be to keep public education easier/ less complicated. I personally don't like them because I have eczema and it really dries and inflames my skin (increasing my risk for infection!)...

Thanks much for the "Soapy". Aside from proving to be great for someone that shakes alot of hands, we've found that its perfect to apply to the players feet. Athlete's foot is no fun, and this product is a winner because it works! All the best to you!

Because of inherent dangers, our school will not be using alcohol-based sanitizers in classrooms. When hand washing isn't available, we insist teachers use alcohol-free products to prevent the spread of germs and viruses.

Please thank all involved in getting your Soapopular hand sanitizer to me. I tried it immediately and it was such a pleasure to use a sanitizer without going through a "coughing episode" due to the fumes/fragrance.

In reviewing the documentation on your product, it looks like a winner. I can’t wait to share the word with my coworkers. I truly believe that these alcohol-free hand sanitizers can help keep the work force healthier throughout the year, and management should be seizing opportunities like this to keep their people going strong.
The product, as currently developed would be a great addition to not only our military installation, but to our current Navy Fleet as well. My current position allows me to make such proposals to ship personnel and the folks who outfit our Fleet with consumable products such as hand sanitizer. This of course doesn’t happen overnight, but give me some time and I’ll keep you in the loop on how the pitch is going.
My own experience of using the product has led me to believe that it has made a significant difference in keeping me healthy, while being constantly surrounded by sick people. This being said, I will continue to use the product and share the find with my colleagues in hopes that it creates a stir on our base. I’ll let you know how things are going and keep you posted
Take care.

All hand sanitizers depend on you using them correctly, but they would easily be able to kill the influenza virus. Alcohol-free hand sanitizers that use Benzalkonium Chloride is an effective way to kill the flu virus.

We love the Soapopular brand and we're happy to know we can refill. We will be using more and I am planning on getting this information to our teams. THANKS!Chip Wood, FMA Property Manager AT&T Services Inc | CRE

syndrome: Exposure to any fragranced products give me week-long migraines, body aches, vision and breathing difficulties. It can be very difficult to find fragrance-free products at the grocery stores, but I found your hand sanitizer at our local WalMart. I tried it, I love it, I have been using it ever since I first noticed it there (maybe 6 months ago)?
Thanks for manufacturing and distributing such a great, fragrance-free, alcohol-free product!

Thank you for advocating for this message. Your perspective happens to be one I share. I took the liberty of asking our editor to consider a future article on the topic. Updating everyone makes good sense.

I currently work in the Prison industry where MRSA is growing daily. We as Correctional Officers are in need of an alcohol free hand sanitizer that we may use in the inmate housing unit areas for the Officers. We are currently using another manufactures brand that does not work very well and is drying out the Officers hands, and your product was highly recommended to us by another correctional facility in our area. We are looking forward to getting our hands on your product. Please advise.

I am on a listserve for school nurses and your product was recommended by one of the participants.
We have 10 school buildings and 11 nurses. We are very interested in this product. Thank you for your time.

I ordered the Soapopular Hand Sanitizer because I wanted a foaming hand sanitizer, since my daughter has trouble keeping the more liquid sanitizers from dripping. Then, at about that time, I read about the problems with alcohol-based sanitizers - another good reason for me to buy this, with a three-year-old and a twenty-month-old in the house! I love this sanitizer! It works well, doesn't feel sticky, and pumps out nice and foamy for the kids.
I must also say, the shipper, Mata Global Solutions, was excellent to work with. There were some problems with the order arriving damaged, and they handled it very well, immediately resending the order. I appreciated their quick response to my email and their immediate action to solve the problem.

This stuff is really fabulous!!! I have a hard time getting my 3 year old to take the time to wash his hands after using the potty, but he will use this with no fuss and I don't have to clean up a mess in the bathroom. We also have a bottle in our diaper bag for our baby, one in each of our cars, and we each take one to work. We have even used it when our son gets small scrapes as it will kill the germs but doesn't sting. We highly recommend this to anyone, but especially those with small children.

Dear Soapopular,
I want to congratulate you on your hand sanitizers. After admiring your hand sanitizers for a short time I was glad I trashed the good old Purell.
Your sanitizers are priced great and seem to be working on fighting germs, making skin softer, and making families healthier.
I have been so impressed with your hand sanitizer line that I am planning on letting my family and friends try them. I am sure they will love them too and appreciate how great they make their lives more germ free and their affordability.
I would like to spread the word about your products so that others may know a great sanitizer company they can rely on. What is the best way I can give you good publicity, any websites, blogs, or store comment cards you prefer.
we love you guys & keep up the great work!
Have a happy & healthy year,

I have a black and white Newfoundland dog. He loves to be wet and really, really drools. The wetness from drooling on chin, neck and chest causes the white fur to turn pinkish. This happens on his elbows, feet and urine stain areas too. I wanted a non-stinging, 'kid' safe product that didn't require rinsing, wouldn't irritate or dry tender skin and would eliminate the bacteria and fungus causing the pink staining. I also didn't want a dry shampoo type product that had to dry and then be brushed out and any residue left could end up in my koi pond when he goes in to cool off. I did alot of research online after reading these reviews and feel good about using it on my big furry kid and it works great. The main ingredient is in other pet products, people products and etc. The irritated & sore tissue/skin between his huge paw pads clears up nicely and it doesn't sting. Cut paw pads heal very slowly and keeping a 180lb. dog still so you can put stinging alcohol based products on sore feet is not going to happen after one or two applications. Yes I use it myself on my hands 'cause it doesn't dry out my skin, isn't sticky, doesn't sting or have a scent. Works for me! & my kid.
