Frequently Asked Questions

A dispenser is more hygienic for shared bathrooms and kitchens, and suits liquid soap. A soap dish suits bar soap, which uses far less plastic packaging. Choose a dish with drainage slots or raised ridges so the bar doesn't sit in water and turn mushy, and keep it out of the faucet's direct spray.

Look for a stainless-steel pump and a wide opening that makes refilling easy. Thick or exfoliating soaps can clog narrow plastic pumps; thinning them slightly with water usually solves the problem. Check whether the pump comes apart for cleaning, since build-up inside the tube is the most common cause of a sticking pump.

Ceramic and stone feel weighty and stay put when pumped. Glass shows how much soap is left and suits a minimal look. Stainless steel is the most durable. Make sure any metal pump is rust-resistant, as cheaper plated pumps can corrode where water collects. Matte finishes hide water spots best, and a weighted base keeps lighter glass bottles steady.

Choose a dish that drains, with slots, ridges or a separate tray underneath, and keep it away from running water. Let the bar dry between uses and rinse the dish weekly. Wood and natural stone dishes look beautiful but need regular drying to prevent stains and mildew. Rotate between two bars to let each dry.
