Bar soap is an everyday essential, but without the right storage, it can become soft, messy, and wasteful. Whether you use soap in the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry, how you store your bar matters. To get the most value out of your soap and keep it clean and long-lasting, the best way to store it is with a soap saver.
At Australian Botanical Soap, we’ve developed a Soap Saver that helps keep your bar dry, firm, and ready to use. It works on any surface and fits most soap dishes. With the right storage method, your soap can last longer and stay fresh between uses.
Why bar soap needs proper storage
Bar soap naturally breaks down faster when it sits in water. If left in a wet dish or flat surface, it becomes mushy and hard to use. That not only wastes product but also creates a mess on your countertop or shower shelf. The key to preventing this is airflow and drainage.
Good storage:
- Raises the soap to avoid contact with puddled water.
- Allows air to circulate freely around the bar.
- Drains water away quickly so the soap can dry fast.
This helps the soap stay solid and firm, keeping its shape and fragrance for longer.
What is a Soap Saver?
A soap saver is a simple and smart accessory that helps your soap last longer. It lifts your bar off the surface and allows air to flow underneath. Water drains away, and the soap dries faster. At Australian Botanical Soap, we’ve designed a soap saver that fits perfectly with our large, natural bars.
Key features:
- Porous design: Boosts air circulation and drains water away from the soap.
- Quick-drying: Helps the bar dry fast after every use.
- Trimmable: Can be cut to fit any soap dish or shelf size.
- Reusable and easy to clean: Just rinse or scrub gently to refresh it.
- Versatile use: Works in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
- Safe material: PVC is recyclable and chemical-free.
- Size: 11.5cm (L) x 7.5cm (W) x 1cm (H)
You can use it on its own or place it inside your existing soap dish for added support and drainage.
Buy it in single or multi-pack options
We offer the Soap Saver in two sizes:
Single Soap Saver – Available here: Comes in clean white. A great choice if you need one for your main bathroom or kitchen.
3-Pack Soap Saver – Available here: Choose between one colour (white) or a mix of three colours – white, grey, and charcoal. Ideal if you have multiple sinks or showers at home. These neutral colours blend well into most bathrooms and work with any of our soap bar scents.
Why our Soap Saver is a better option
Unlike wire racks or standard soap dishes, our soap saver supports the full bar without any slipping or mess. It grips the bottom of the soap gently while raising it above wet surfaces. The design is soft, yet strong enough to hold large bars like ours.
The simple mesh-style surface keeps your soap elevated and clean, even with frequent use. It works equally well in humid bathrooms or next to a busy kitchen sink.
Easy to maintain and built to last
Cleaning your Soap Saver is simple. Just remove the soap, give the saver a quick rinse, and allow it to dry. You can also scrub it with a brush if needed. There’s no build-up or staining, and it does not absorb any odour.
Because the material is recyclable and durable, it can be reused for a long time without any wear or breakdown.
Help your soap last longer and reduce waste
By keeping your soap dry between uses, you can significantly extend its lifespan. A bar that stays dry does not dissolve as fast, meaning you’ll replace it less often. This saves money and reduces the number of bars that go to waste.
Our Soap Saver is a small change that makes a big difference in your daily routine. It helps your soap stay in good shape, keeps your surfaces tidy, and supports a more sustainable lifestyle.
Best Locations to Store Your Soap Bar
Storing your soap in the right spot is just as important as using the right accessory. Here are a few good options:
1. On a Soap Dish with a Soap Saver
This is the classic method. Place the soap saver inside the dish. It keeps the bar from sitting in water and helps the soap dry properly.
2. On a Shower Shelf
Shower shelves often collect water. Place your soap on a soap saver to lift it above the surface. The airflow underneath will help it dry between uses.
3. Near the Sink
Whether it’s the bathroom or kitchen sink, a soap saver protects the bar from water splashes and keeps your countertop cleaner.
4. In a Travel Bag or Container
Let your soap dry completely before storing it. Using a soap saver in a ventilated container will help it stay fresh, especially if you travel often.
