How much water do I need for the Fomin Eco-Clean Soap Sheets?

Though you may use as
much water as you wish, we recommend as little as 100ml or 3.5floz of
water to ensure the soap thin dissolves and foams. 

Are your foaming hand soaps safe for COVID19 or other viruses?

Yes, Fomin Hand Soaps are
safe to use as part of your routine hand hygiene during the COVID19
pandemic. We do not claim that our hand soap will kill germs, instead,
our hand soaps contain surfactants which actively lift and remove
viruses and bacteria from your hands during a routine wash.

Can I buy foaming hand soap tablets without the dispenser?

Of course! You may purchase refill packs whenever you wish.

How long does it take for the hand wash tablet to dissolve?

We recommend 15-20 minutes in warm water without any bottle shaking for the Fomin Soap Tablet to fully dissolve.

How long will one bottle of Hand Soap Last?

1 tablet lasts the average household 4 weeks with frequent use.

How long does it take for the cleaner tablet to dissolve?

We recommend 10-15 minutes in warm water without any bottle shaking for the Fomin Cleaner Tablet to fully dissolve.

How long does it take the Fomin Toilet Tablets to dissolve?

We recommend 5-10 minutes in warm water without any bottle shaking for the Fomin Toilet Tablet to fully dissolve.

Is my tap water suitable for tablets?

Of course! The more purified the water is, the clean the solution will be; however, tap water works perfectly fine. 

Can I use my own foaming hand soap bottle?

You can; however, for the best results we do recommened using the the Fomin Soap Dispenser that can be ordered here.

Do I need to shake the bottle for the tablet to dissolve?

No. We recommend letting the tablet fully dissolve without shaking the bottle as that can pressurize the bottle unncessarily. 

Why is my hand wash not foaming or dispensing properly?

If you bottle is not
dispensing properly, we recommend rinsing out the foaming head and clear
any foam that may be stuck in the dispensing head. If this still does
not work, please reach out to a team member who will assist you in
getting a replacement bottle at: info@fominsoap.com

How long will one bottle of Universal Cleaner last?

This all depends on how
much you like to clean! For an average household of 4 people, one bottle
of Universal Cleaner should last 1 - 2 months.

Are the Cleaner Tablets a disinfectant?

Our cleaner tablets are
surface cleaners and not disinfectants. This means they can effectively
clean the recommended surfaces; however, they wont kill all bacteria on
contact. 

What surfaces can I use the cleaner tablets on?

This all depends on which
cleaner tablet! For the bathroom tablet, we recommend using it on the
toilet, counter, shower and the sink. For the multi-purose cleaner, we
recommend using it on wood, laminates, marble, tiles and stone. 

Can I use my Fomin Toilet Tablets if they haven't fully dissolved?

Of course! We recommend
you wait till the tablet is fully dissolved; however, the tablet can
still be used if it hasn’t had time to fully dissolve yet and it is safe
to flush.

Can I use Fomin Eco-Clean Towels to clean my counter?

You can! We recommend
using the towel first on your skin; however, when finished the towel can
be used to clean a range of surfaces. 

Can I flush my Eco-Clean Towels?

Fomin Eco-Clean Towels are toilet safe; however, we recommend you do not attempt to flush too many of them at any given time. 

How It Works

How It Works

How do I create my Fomin cleaner or soap?

Simply drop the tablet in
warm water and let it dissolve for 15-20 minutes. The tablet will
dissolve fully to product a rich scented soap or cleaning solution. 

How do I use my Fomin Toilet Tablets?

Simply drop the tablet in
the toilet bowl and wait 5-10 minutes for it to fully dissolve. Once
dissolved, use a toilet brush to clean your toilet.

Does the bottle have to be completely empty before refilling?

No. You may add another
tablet into the bottle even if the current solution has not fully been
used. However, we recommend to not add more than 3 tablets to the bottle
at any time.

How many times can I reuse the bottle?

Forever! 

Why does my cleaning / soap solution bubble while it's dissolving?

When our tablets are put
into water, they create carbon dioxide (CO2), which are the bubbles that
you see. Because our tablets bubble when they dissolve, there is no
need for you to shake or stir.

All Fomin tablets are
designed to perfectly complement our dispeners. In ther words, our
cleaners make 500ml of solution and our soaps make 250ml of solution.
