How to unblock your foaming cleanser pump

Most pumps and dispensers are designed to be used once and then thrown away.  With our bottles being refillable over and over again, you may find the pumps sometimes clog up or lose their gusto - they just can’t keep going forever!

The good news is it may just be a simple case of cleaning your foaming pump to get it working again - just follow the instructions below and you will likely find you are back on the road.  

If cleaning your pump does not solve your issue however, please get in touch with us at info@cleanz.co.nz and request a replacement.

What you’ll need:

  1. Foaming pump
  2. Distilled white vinegar
  3. Warm water
