Can anyone help- Here is an E-mail I got from a customer-

Hi Sue!
I was just at Mary's party and I meant to ask you about my Suds Pump. Is there a good way to clean it? I have gone through three of them because the pump gets impossible to pump. Thanks. Candy

I do not have a suds pump, so I really do not have an anwser for her.
 
I always soak mine in warm water before refilling it. That way there is no soap buildup.
 
There is a flyer thing in the Files section that has instructions on how to clean the Suds Pump and Kitchen Sprizter. I don't remember the name, but I think that I just typed in Kitchen Sprizter and it came up. It tells how to clean and maintain them, and it is suitable to send to a customer.
 
Ask her if she keeps the cap on it, too. Leaving the cap off makes the soap in the mechanism dry up and clog.

Thamks, guys. You are the best. I lvoe it that I can just come here and find the answers.!!!
 
She doesn't have to buy a whole new pump every time. The pumping mechanism is $2.50 on replacement parts.
 
I tell customers that you need to occassionally tip it upside down - other wise it will JUST suck up soap (not mixed with any wateR) and get clogged

Also, use regular hand soap - no moisturizing beads, no dish soap - they will clog it.

I agree with Ann, put the lid on it so it doesn't dry out.

Even purchasing a replacement pump every once in a while is STILL cheaper than buying the Foam Soap from the store!!!!
 
Hi Candy,Thank you for reaching out to me about your Suds Pump. I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble with it in the past. I would recommend cleaning the pump after each use with warm soapy water. You can also try using a small brush or toothpick to clean out any buildup that may be causing difficulty with pumping. If the issue persists, please don't hesitate to reach out to me and I can help you troubleshoot further. I hope this helps!Best,
