Soap Dispenser 101: History and Types
Soap dispensers came into use after liquid soap was patented in 1865 when Minnetonka Corporation first introduced liquid soap dispenser. But before soap dispensers were invented, the ancient world has been using soap since way back! To date, a soap-like material has been found in clay cylinders during an excavation of ancient Babylon, proof that soapmaking was known as early as 2800 B.C.
