How to Use

Place your soap dish next to your sink where water can easily drain away. Rinse occasionally under warm water and scrub with a sponge or pot brush to remove buildup.

Pro tip: If your soap sticks to the dish, this can actually help with one-handed lathering. To remove the soap, twist gently or hold the dish and lightly tap the soap against the edge of the sink.
