Why do you need a soap dish?

A soap dish provides a handy place to keep your bar soap and allows it to dry after each sudsy use—no more slipping and sliding all over your sink or bathtub. Soap dishes also help prevent unsightly soap scum and residue on sink countertops and bathtub ledges. On Etsy, you’ll find all kinds of soap dishes in a variety of styles, colors, themes, and materials to suit your bathroom decor or anywhere you use bar soap.

Where to use soap dishes

Soap dishes are most commonly used in the bathroom, placed near the sink, in the shower, or on a bathtub ledge to hold soap bars, shampoo and conditioner bars, and facial soap bars. A good rule of thumb is to place your soap dish in an area where it won’t get waterlogged. For instance, if you have a soap dish for the shower, make sure it sits out of reach of shower spray, rather than in it—this helps your soap last longer. If you use hand soap or solid dish soap bars in the kitchen, a soap dish is a handy essential to keep your kitchen sink and countertop neat and tidy.

On Etsy, you’ll find many types of soap dishes that are not only functional, but fashionable. Here are a few kinds to keep in mind: Draining soap dish: Draining soap dishes drain away excess water to keep soap as dry as possible after use. Options include dishes with holes or slats at the bottom, a tilted waterfall dish that drains water into the sink or tub, or a dual-level dish where the soap sits on top compartment and water drains to another tray below. Wooden soap dish: Wooden soap dishes are attractive and effective in keeping soap dry and mess-free. Find hand-carved versions by shops on Etsy made from a variety of natural woods such as bamboo, pine, olive wood, cedar, or driftwood for a beautiful, rustic look that complements your bathroom or kitchen decor . Wall-mounted soap dish: Keep your soap high and dry with a wall-mounted soap dish. Install it on the wall above a bathroom or kitchen sink, or affix it to a shower wall for convenient use. Soap dishes come in all sorts of materials like ceramic, concrete, silicone, glass, rubber, and marble. There’s also vintage soap dishes made from brass, wrought iron, porcelain, and bone china for a classic, antique look.
