It seems we have very much entered the Goldilocks zone of dish soap!
Who would have thought that there were so many viscosities of soap on the market… with options ranging from too thin to excessively thick, making the quest for the perfect consistency akin to a kitchen fairy tale… Goldilocks!
Appreciating that one size does not fit all, here are three approaches to address this sudsy dilemma:
Make sure the butt end of the brush is screwed together correctly:
The brush is designed to create a vacuum seal and therefore slow the release of the soap… if the brush has an air leak at the end it will lose the vacuum and allow the soap to rush freely out/far too quickly.
Exploring Alternative Soaps:
Consider experimenting with different liquid soaps to find the option that best suits your needs. Sometimes, the ideal viscosity might be waiting on the shelf.
Customise Brush Hole Size:
Tailor your brush to perfection by reducing the hole size. Place strong tape (Gorilla cloth tape is a good option) over the hole at the thread end, ensuring complete coverage. Using a needle or a small, pointed tool, create a smaller opening.
This DIY solution empowers you to control substance flow during application. Experiment with hole size to strike the right balance without compromising functionality.
Thicken your existing soap:
If your liquid dish soap is too thin, elevate its viscosity with the help of cornstarch. Craft a cornstarch slurry by blending a small amount with water until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually introduce this slurry to the dish soap while stirring constantly. Cornstarch, a natural thickening agent, works to enhance the soap's texture. Tailor the concentration to achieve your desired thickness without compromising effectiveness.
One last thing to keep in mind is the ONE BRUSH needs to be stored on the magnetic stand in a horizontal position to stop the soap escaping when you are not using it.I hope these options help :)
