Soap Dishes: CareTips

As soap bar specialists, we also have a passion for soap dishes. We have a wide selection to suit all bathrooms and tastes, from coconut bowls to handmade porcelain trays.
All the natural soap dishes which are made of wood or bamboo are compostable and when they get to the end of their life you can break them up or just put them in the compost or in with the garden waste. This is a great zero waste product!
While it’s normal for them to get darker as they get wet, what you don’t want them to do is start the composting process while they’re in your bathroom! So here are some tips to keep your soap dish nice for as long as possible.

-    don't let it sit in a puddle or in a position where it is constantly getting wet, such as under the shower. This is a good tip for the soap as well – the drier it is kept between uses, the longer it will last. 
-      every few days rinse off any soap which has got stuck to it and wipe the surface that it has been sitting on.
-      dry with a towel - leave somewhere to dry for a few hours if you can.
-      you can use bicarbonate of soda to give it a good clean from time to time. Just take a spoonful and rub it over the dish, leave for a while and then rinse off. Leave to dry.
-      once dry, you can also give it a rub down with oil (sunflower or olive oil will do) to condition it and also give it a layer of protection. Just put a few drops of oil on a cloth and rub it all over. Leave to soak in.
