Storing Handmade Soap (to avoid going mushy!)

The only caveat is that due to being more moisturising, they can go squishy, so store bars away from water or on a slatted soap dish, to help them last longer. You can also buy shower soaps with integrated ropes, so gravity drains away the water, to keep them dry.

This soap saver pad only costs a few pounds. In four colours, they can be cut to size. They let air circulate, and if they get clogged with soap, you can just give them a wash (even pop them in the dishwasher) to use again.

Suma’s travel soap tin is ideal for when you’re on the go.

This Reborn soap dish is made in Wiltshire, from recycled plastic. It also has air ridges, to let the soap bar dry out faster.
