Anyone that can recommend a high quality repairable automatic soap dispensor I can use in the kitchen for dishsoap. It should be automatic such that when i put the brush or sponge under it, it gives a small dose of soap.
I have looked at the simplehuman one, but after watching a video on how to replace the battery I just cannot with good conscious buy it. It is literally designed to not be opened.
I know any pump like this will not last me a lifetime, but I want something that last for as long as possible.
As the title hints, it should be available in EU. Any recommendations i can find online and on reddit are all just useless amazon products and listings of all amazon products. It must be possible to find something better and in EU.
Looking forward to hear if anyone knows about a good product.
That has actually been picking up steam on social media if I remember.
The idea is that you have a bar of soap + a harder bristled brush (IKEA sells cheap ones but there are probably BIFL ones) and then you just froth up some soap on the brush with one hand and then use it to scrub the dishes.
I think those people used special soap formulations though that weren’t just a dove bar
I can imagine it work, but as you say it should probably be a special soap formulation, especially if you have hard water. I Once tried bar soap shampoo that was “recommended for hard water” and it was still a disaster and my hair was like a stiff bristle afterwards due to the mineral deposits.
Here’s my sink, dishes awaiting attention. 😅 Look for Marseille soap, which comes in these 10-15 cm cubes. It might be available in organic or zero waste stores — which is why we started using it, low waste and avoiding moving water around.
I live in Copenhagen, which has very hard water and it’s fine. One block lasts about a year, but we have a dishwasher for most of our dishes. As a primary wash method I’d guess more like 3 months per block?
