How does the magnetic stand work?
The magnetic stand is EXTRA strong and has two parts/magnets. Part A & B connect through the sink... one on the outside of the sink and one on the inside. Make sure you get someone nice and strong to put this in place, it can then be adjusted/moved in the sink if needed.
The magnets work through any sink/material (it doesn't need to be metal) with a wall thickness up to 5mm. Stainless steel sinks are by far the best though due to their thickness being around 2-3mm.
Other materials above 5mm will require an adhesive to be used (not included) to assist the magnets in creating the strength needed to hold the brush. Unfortunately we can not guarantee that these will work as seamlessly as intended/designed and will be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Will it fit my sink?
The ONE BRUSH has been designed to fit the majority of sinks and situations, however there is always curve balls and we would love to see it in different spaces, offices, laundries, RVs, boats etc. Please check the measurements below to ensure the ONE BRUSH fits perfectly and let us know where it ends up by tagging @yeseco.life
Handle ~ 240mm(9.5in) x 55mm(2.1in)
Magnetic Stand ~ 33mm(1.3in) x 25mm(1in)
How long does a brush head last?
We’re excited to share that both our old (bamboo base) and new (recycled plastic base) brush heads feature natural sisal fiber bristles. These bristles are gentle enough for non-stick pans yet durable enough to last for months.
Every kitchen, home, office, RV, or boat is unique, but based on our thorough testing, our brush heads typically have a lifespan of 3-4 months with standard use.
Please note that our new recycled plastic brush heads are designed to prevent any mold issues associated with bamboo. In our experience, they offer superior performance! However, we fully respect and support our customers who prefer bamboo and appreciate the benefits of natural materials.
And don’t forget to add extra brush heads to your order!
How quickly can I get it?
7-14 days is the simple answer… but I would love to explain a little more below:

Too much soap.. not enough soap...
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 :)
Bamboo Brush Heads
Please note that our NEW BRUSH HEADS that use recycled plastic for the base with natural sisal fibre bristles, solve the below issues 100% and stay looking beautiful for many many months!

Our original brush heads feature natural bamboo bases, giving them a beautiful aesthetic and making them biodegradable. However, the first step in wood decomposition is—you guessed it—mold. If you notice mold on your brush head, we recommend refreshing it with a mix of white vinegar, dish soap, and plenty of sunshine.
