Handmade soaps are richer in natural oils and glycerin which is why they are much nourishing than the commercial soaps. But it’s also the reason why handmade soaps melt away too fast if left wet.

Pro tips:

• Use soap dishes with slates, ridges, or holes to avoid water puddles.

• To keep your soap dry keep it in a place away from the direct stream of the shower.

• Try not to leave your soap in flat surfaces or in puddles where water collects.

2. Choose the Right Soap Dish (and Keep It Clean)

Not all soap dishes are designed right to keep your soap bars firm and last longer. The right soap dish is the one that allows easy water drainage and elevates your soap from the surface. When you buy the soap dish it’s important to choose the right materials.

Pro tips:

• Wood, ceramic, or stainless steel are recommended materials for soap dishes.

• Regularly clean your soap dishes to avoid trap moisture in the buildup.
