Refilling Made Easy: Tips for Using Barrels

Refilling Made Easy: Tips for Using Barrels

We’ve made a small change with a big impact—some of our bulk liquid barrels are moving front and center. These 30-gallon barrels make refilling easier, faster, and more accessible. Whether you're stocking up on dish soap, hand soap, or laundry detergent, this shift is all about making it simpler for you to refill your favorites.

If you’ve been curious about trying the barrels but weren’t sure how, here are a few helpful tips:

  • First time? Just ask. Our team is always happy to walk you through it.

  • Pull, don’t push. The product flows when you pull the handle up—not down.

  • Start slow. These spigots are fast—go easy to avoid overflow.

  • Use a funnel. Especially helpful for narrow bottle openings or smaller containers.

  • Keep an eye on your fill. There are no auto-stops, so you'll need to monitor as you go.

Did you know? Each full barrel helps divert more than 240 single-use plastic bottles from landfills. That’s the magic of a closed-loop system: the barrels are returned to the supplier, cleaned, refilled, and reused. It’s a big step toward reducing waste—and you’re part of that solution every time you refill.

And speaking of exciting changes, we’re thrilled to welcome a new addition to our refill lineup: Zatik Naturals. This women-owned, Los Angeles-based brand is now our hand soap and dish soap supplier. Zatik’s formulas are gentle, effective, and made with certified organic botanicals—and yes, they’re part of a closed-loop program too. That means cleaner hands and dishes, a cleaner planet, and another great way to support small, local businesses with your everyday choices.

So whether you're a refill regular or just getting started, there’s never been a better time to step up to the barrel.
