(SPOT.ph) Nobody loves doing household chores, but some tasks are definitely better than others. In many cases, making your bed, organizing your desk, or doing laundry can actually be kind of therapeutic, but perhaps no chore is as tedious and uninviting as dishwashing. Unlike other chores, dishwashing happens multiple times a day and can be a pretty demanding task, depending on the size of your household, the food you eat, and the tools you use. While we can’t make the dirty dishes sitting in your sink magically disappear, the good news is that there are many tools you can shop online to help make the process easier, faster, and more efficient. You can thank us later.

You can keep your soap clean and make the entire process much more seamless with this nifty soap dispenser from DHD Shop. The top of the dispenser is also a sponge holder, which means you can push your sponge onto the top and the device will dispense dishwashing soap right onto it. That way, your sponge will never come into contact with the soap. It also does away with the need to constantly pick up the dishwashing liquid bottle every time your sponge needs more soap. All in all, it will speed up the process and make it simpler.
