Know before you buy
Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring, sedimentary rock that is highly porous. It is an ideal material for soap dishes because it rapidly absorbs moisture and evaporates it, preventing your soap from sitting in a pool of water.
The textured finish is durable, but because it is absorbent, you should avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could stain the material. Simply rinse it with water or lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper if you notice any buildup or discoloration over time.
The dish is designed to absorb moisture directly into the material, but if the soap is extremely wet, some water may pass through the slots. We recommend placing it on a surface that can handle occasional moisture or wiping the area occasionally to keep your countertop pristine.
Yes, it is designed to accommodate standard bar soaps. The rectangular shape and slotted design provide a stable base for most sizes, ensuring airflow around the bar to help it dry out between uses.
The Autotype soap dish is designed with a minimalist, freestanding aesthetic. While it does not feature rubber feet, the natural weight and texture of the diatomaceous earth provide a stable grip on most bathroom surfaces.
