How to Make Dish Washing Easier

Last updated on January 5, 2023

I owe this genius idea to my sister. She puts her dish soap in a small spray bottle next to her kitchen sink. I had the opportunity to try it out one night when I so nicely volunteered to clean the dinner dishes. I was amazed how such a simple change like the soap dispenser could make cleaning dishes that much easier. That’s when I decided I had to share this with everyone!

PROS:

You have control over the amount of soap that is dispensed and where it goes exactly (assuming you can aim 2 inches from something).
No soap is wasted which is what happens so often with the common soap bottle.
It’s easier than a pump.
You can multitask easily holding the squirt soap bottle, sponge and pot all at the same time.
It’s easy to store away under the sink, in the sink or on the counter.
Save money buying your dish soap in bulk and refilling as needed.

EXTRA:

Buy decorative spray bottles to match your kitchen if you want to leave it out. I think a stainless steel one would be universal. You can find those at stores like Containers and Things.
This makes a great hostess gift. Get a nice spray bottle, large dish soap refill, (I love Method, by Target) new sponges/brushes and those ever adorable funky dish gloves. Wrap it all up in a stylish reusable grocery bag or wire basket lines with raffia. Attach a thank you gift tag and maybe include a little print out of the above PROS.
