The Libman Dishmatic I-Stand Kit introduces a vertical storage solution to the traditional dish wand category. This unit features a weighted base that allows the wand to stand upright on the counter, which helps manage countertop space and significantly reduces the risk of soap pooling that can occur with horizontal wands. The handle reservoir is made of 1.2mm thick Polypropylene, providing a sturdy feel while remaining resistant to chemical cracking from soaps.
The dispensing system utilizes a silicone cross-slit valve that is designed to provide a controlled flow of detergent. Specifications indicate that the scrubber head is composed of an abrasive PET surface bonded to open-cell polyurethane foam. This combination is effective for general dishwashing, though users should note that the adhesive bond can be sensitive to very high water temperatures. The elastomer dispensing button provides a tactile point of contact for releasing soap on demand.
- Weighted base improves the center of gravity, preventing the unit from tipping when full.
- Compatible with standard Dishmatic refill heads for versatile cleaning options.
- Stand-up design helps keep the sponge head dry between uses.
To ensure the dispensing valve functions correctly, it is helpful to use standard-viscosity soaps. If the soap is too thick, it may cause the seal to invert or the flow to become restricted. The plastic-on-plastic threads on the fill cap should be handled with care to prevent stripping. This tool is designed to provide a more economical soap application, potentially reducing detergent waste by up to 30% compared to manual sponge use.
If you prefer a wand with a more traditional "stay-flat" design and a mechanical trigger, the Scotch-Brite Advanced Dishwand is another option to consider.
