Know before you buy

You can easily clean the dish by rinsing it under warm water and gently scrubbing away any soap residue with a soft brush or cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before placing a new bar of soap on it.
Yes, the 10cm diameter is sized to accommodate most standard-sized bar soaps comfortably. The circular, grooved design provides a stable platform that keeps the bar elevated and well-drained.
