Method Foaming Hand Wash Refill, Sweet Water, 28 fl oz (828 mL)
A pleasant scented foaming soap refill for existing pumps, not for fragrance sensitive users.
The short version
- Homes that already own Method or other foaming pump bottles
- People who like a light citrus and floral hand soap scent
- You need a fragrance free or sulfate free soap
- You use a standard gel pump rather than a foaming dispenser
What owners like
- Scent described as fresh and watery rather than heavy
- Refill format cuts down on buying new pump bottles
- Gentle enough for frequent everyday hand washing, per the maker
Common complaints
- Contains added fragrance and sodium lauryl sulfate, so it is not a fragrance free or sulfate free option
- Made for foaming pumps, so it is not a fit for a standard gel soap dispenser

What it does
A 28 fl oz refill of Method's foaming hand wash in the Sweet Water scent, meant to top up a foaming pump bottle you already own.
- Refills an existing foaming pump about three times
- Contains glycerin, aloe extract and vitamin E alongside the cleansers
- Made without parabens or phthalates
- Suitable for kitchen and bathroom sinks
- Clear soap with a violet tint from its colorant
A good fit for households that already have a foaming pump and want a light citrus and floral scented soap without buying new bottles. The main trade-off is the formula: it is scented and uses sodium lauryl sulfate, so people who want a fragrance free or sulfate free soap should look elsewhere.
