Soap dishes are one of those items we use every day, but often only think about when they're broken or stained. Or when we're doing a big spring cleaning.

A few simple changes can make a big difference in the appearance of your bathroom.

With a little effort (eye effort only, looking for the ideal soap dish on Love&Soap ) , you can find the perfect soap dish to give your bathroom a modern, or vintage look.

Which soap dish to choose?

There are obviously many types of soap dishes on the market. When there is a lot of choice, either you have a crush, or you hesitate, you hesitate...so we will help you make your choice in the multitude of offers.

The ceramic soap dish

Very easy to clean, the only question is: kids, or no kids in the bathroom?

Because obviously, ceramic can break if it falls. Despite everything, we still have a fun soap dish that deserves the attention of families, because a customer who bought it mentioned that it was particularly robust, it's this one:

Here is a modern ceramic soap dish, which you can complement with our complete range of bathroom accessories :

Finally, for the vintage and retro side, timeless British chic is making a big comeback in our interiors, with the floral ceramic soap dish:

The stainless steel soap dish

The stainless steel soap dish is the perfect addition to any bathroom. Its durable and elegant design makes it a great choice for any home. Plus, this soap dish can be placed just about anywhere, thanks to its adhesive or suction cup mounts. Whether you want to stick it on the wall near the sink or bathtub, because it's convenient, or you simply want a soap dish that doesn't require drilling, because you don't have the hardware, this soap dish is for you.

Check out our black stainless steel adhesive soap dish, which is totally in keeping with all bathroom interior design in 2022 (plus, the soap drains perfectly):

But the most interesting innovation is undoubtedly the magnetic wall-mounted soap holder , which is a real bathroom revolution: no drilling, with soap that dries in the open air over its entire surface, which avoids waste. What else? Since the soap is suspended in the air, it leaves no trace to clean. Finally, its price is really, really attractive. Oh yes, one last quality: children are so amused by the magnetic soap that you can be sure that they will wash twice rather than once!

What wood for a soap dish?

This is a question that is oh so important since obviously when we talk about wood, we don't really associate it with water, right? However, yes, it is possible to find wooden soap dishes. We'll explain everything to you!

When it comes to choosing the right wood for a wooden soap dish, there are several factors to consider. The first is durability, as the wood needs to be hard and strong enough to withstand regular use and exposure to moisture. The second factor is moisture absorption, which can cause the wood to warp or become damaged over time. Third, it’s important to choose a smooth wood that won’t damage the soap itself (especially if you made your own soap and took extra care to avoid streaks when unmolding it !). Finally, the wood can be finished with a natural oil or wax to further protect it from water and soap. When all of these factors are considered, bamboo and coconut shell wood are two of the best woods to use for a wooden soap dish.

Let's not forget that bamboo is a sustainable wood that grows very quickly!

How to install a soap dish on a shower bar?

Let's get straight to the point: our shower soap dishes are effortless to install. So there's no need to gather your tools, drill, screwdriver, leveler and pliers.

We just suggest you turn the dial! Our shower soap dishes are stylish and fit perfectly with the black shower bars that are so trendy in 2022.

Plus, it's aluminum. And what's the main advantage of aluminum? Lightness. So this soap dish won't weigh down the structure.

How to clean a soap dish?

With a ceramic soap dish, use dishwashing liquid and a little hot water. Wipe off any remaining residue with a cloth or towel. Do not rub too hard, as this can damage certain patterns such as gilding. With a plastic or metal model, a damp cloth will suffice. If there are stubborn residues, you can use white vinegar.

You will make sure to rinse the soap dish well after cleaning it to remove any traces of cleaner or vinegar.

A soap dish is not just a whim!

To choose the right shower soap dish, you will take into account its durability, the size of your soap, and where you want to place it. Do you have a sink that is wide enough? A bathtub with edges? Or a shower with a bar? All the answers will guide your final choice and you will definitely find the soap dish that suits you on Love&Soap, your bathroom friend.
