Product details
Xiaomi recommends using its original Xiaomi Mi Simpleway foaming hand soap refills for optimal performance, though the dispensers can be refilled with a diluted mixture of other liquid soaps.
Official Xiaomi Soap Refills
The official Xiaomi Mi Simpleway foaming hand soap is specifically designed to work with the Xiaomi Mi Automatic Foaming Soap Dispenser, ensuring consistent, rich foam production.
- Scent options: The soap is available in a fresh orange blossom, lemon, and apple scent, or an unscented version. The 1S version also comes in a fig scent.
- Skin benefits: The formula features a balanced pH level, includes natural ingredients and glycerin, and effectively cleanses without drying the hands, leaving them soft and smooth.
- Capacity and use: Each 300ml bottle is estimated to provide around 375 uses, or about 50 days of use for an average family, meaning it does not need to be replaced frequently.
Compatible Alternatives (DIY Refill)
While not officially recommended by Xiaomi due to potential performance issues, many users successfully refill the original bottles with other liquid soaps to save money.
- Soap type: The key is to use a thin, watery liquid soap as the original soap has a low viscosity. Thicker, creamy soaps can clog the mechanism or fail to foam properly unless heavily diluted.
- Dilution ratio: A common recommendation is to mix liquid soap and water in a 1:4 ratio (1 part soap to 4 parts water), but this can be adjusted until the desired consistency is reached.
- Refilling process: The original cap needs to be pried open with a flat-head screwdriver or similar tool, as it’s designed to be difficult to remove by hand. After filling, you can snap the cap back on and reattach the main unit.
- Examples of user-tested soaps: Users have found success with brands like Kirei Kirei Anti-Bacterial soap refill and diluted dish soap.
