Do-It-Yourself Installation of a Soap Dispenser on a Countertop
Install a soap dispenser in the counter to relieve the counter of clutter and unattractive plastic hand soap bottles. You can purchase a soap dispenser that matches the style and finish of your faucet or matches the finish of your sink. Some sinks have an additional hole pre-cut into them for a sprayer or dispenser, but if your sink does not have an additional hole, you must install the dispenser through the countertop. Does this Spark an idea?
