1. Cleaning the lotion pump
If the lotion pump won't dispense, it's usually clogged. Cleaning the pump is essential. Remove the pump from the bottle and rinse the pump and tubing thoroughly with running water. Then, use absorbent paper or a clean cotton cloth to absorb the water and dry thoroughly. Be careful not to use a lint-free cloth, as this may worsen the clog.
2. Replacing the lotion pump
If the pump is no longer working, it's time to replace it with a new one. You can purchase a dedicated lotion pump at a supermarket or cosmetics counter for around 10 yuan. Simply remove the old pump and install the new one.
3. Usage Tips
In addition to the above methods, a better solution is to use the pump correctly during daily use. Hold the bottle mouth upward and gently press the pump. If you haven't used lotion for an extended period, it's recommended to remove and clean the pump head to prevent clogging.
Also, when applying lotion, be careful not to place your palm directly on the pump head to apply pressure, as this can cause excessive pressure and prevent the lotion from flowing smoothly. Instead, apply more gently, placing your fingers closer to the base of the pump head.
In short, don't panic if the lotion pump head won't dispense. The problem can be easily resolved with the above methods, including cleaning, replacing the pump head, and proper usage techniques. Proper use and maintenance can also effectively prevent the problem of lotion not dispensing.
