Abstract: An automated soap mixing and dispensing apparatus is configured to automatically melt a quantity of solid soap for mixture with a liquid carrier to provide a source of liquid soap solution. The apparatus includes a fluid reservoir configured to initially contain liquid carrier. A grill with apertures supports the solid soap. A heating element heats the solid soap to a molten state and the molten soap drips through the apertures into the liquid carrier. A rotary mixing unit mixes the molten soap with the liquid carrier to form the liquid soap solution. The dispensing apparatus may then be utilized to dispense the liquid soap for cleaning activities, such as personal hygiene. The apparatus improves the carbon footprint for hygiene activities by eliminating the requirement for plastic containers containing premixed liquid soap solutions.
