Nothing is worse than bar soap that disintegrates in a pile of mush if it is sitting in a puddle of water. This soap drainer helps you soap drain, and it keeps it dry so soap is no longer squishy These soap bar dishes are a product to make life easier.Two pieces design, a catch basin(Drainage dish allows enough room to catch excess water) and a top level with open slots that drain. Slats in the top layer are wide enough for water/soap slime can fall through a grate into the bottom. Excess water ends up in the soap bar holder, not on our sink or counter. so the soap drys quickly which saves on soap.Its a handy soap dish that comes apart so you can just separate the two part and rinses off fully with a quick rinse under the faucet and we dont have to dry it to put the soap back. They can also easily ride on the top rack of the dishwasher for regular cleaning.These soap dish tray are a polycarbonate material, sturdy, don't rust, light and very quet. They are lightweight, wont break like a ceramic one if dropped and also wont chip tiles. so don't have to worry about kids knocking it off counter and breaking it. Suitable for daily uses.
