Abstract:
A method for applying liquid soap from a deformable soap reservoir to a washing means with only one hand, thereby reducing the possibility of a user becoming unbalanced, the reservoir defining a sealable port, and a dispensing connector means defining a filling end, a discharge end, and a perforated, soap dispensing manifold removably connected to the discharge end, the filling end of the connector means being removably inserted into and sealing the sealable port of the reservoir; and, washing means attached to the soap dispensing manifold, the method comprising: A. storing liquid soap in the reservoir in the absence of pressure being applied thereto, the reservoir being adapted for application of pressure with only one hand, pressurizing soap through the sealable port, and through the perforations in the manifold for capture by the washing means; and, B. filling the reservoir by disengaging the connector from the reservoir and disconnecting the connector from the manifold, inserting the discharge end of the connector into the reservoir, and supplying soap through the filling end of the connector and through the discharge end into the reservoir.
