Why isn't Foaming Spray Bottle working?Updated 16 days ago

TL;DR: If the Foaming Spray Bottle isn’t working, check the refill first. The most common issue is using a product that isn’t designed to foam. Rinse the head in warm water, pump clean water through, and try again.


Troubleshooting

1. Check the refill

Make sure you are using a foamer-compatible product.

2. Rinse the head

Run warm water through the foamer head to clear residue.

3. Flush and test

Pump clean water through the nozzle and test again.


Why isn't Foaming Spray Bottle working?

The most common reason a Foaming Spray Bottle stops working properly is that it has been filled with a product that is not designed to foam. If the refill is correct, a warm-water rinse and a quick flush through the nozzle usually clears residue or a minor blockage.

Most common cause

Wrong refill in the bottle.

Quick fix

Warm-water rinse and a clean-water flush.

Expected result

The bottle should return to a steady foam.


Which refills should I use?

For reliable foam, use Bathroom & Shower Cleaner, Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner, or Stain Remover. Universal Cleaner, Dishwashing Liquid, and Sensitive Laundry Liquid are not designed for the foamer and can affect performance.

Use

Bathroom & Shower Cleaner, Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner, Stain Remover.

Do not use

Universal Cleaner, Dishwashing Liquid, Sensitive Laundry Liquid.

Why

Those formulas won’t aerate the same way.


How do I clear the nozzle?

Take the foamer head off, rinse it in warm water, and pump clean water through it. If it still feels blocked, repeat the rinse and flush once more before testing the refill again.

Remove the head

Take the head off and rinse it under warm water.

Pump clean water

Push clean water through the nozzle path.

Retry

Reassemble and test again with the right refill.


What if it still doesn’t work?

If the head is still not foaming after the refill check and warm-water flush, the issue is usually either a stubborn blockage or the wrong product. Recheck the fill, flush again, and then contact Koh support if you still need help.

Recheck the product

Make sure the bottle contains a foamer-compatible refill.

Flush again

A second warm-water flush can clear leftover residue.

Contact support

If it still won’t work, ask Koh support for help.
