The natural wood of a bamboo creates a calm and inviting space to a bathroom and our Bamboo Soap Dish is the perfect compliment to a natural soap bar.

As a natural product, Bamboo can be affected by moisture, especially in areas of the bathroom.

Here are a few tips to help increase the longevity of your soap dish.

1. Don’t let it sit in a puddle of water. 

This is the quickest way to damage your soap dish. It will start absorbing the moisture which can then lead to mould. If you use it in the shower, keep it away from the water jet stream and when you are done washing, just give it a quick dry with your towel.

2. Leave it to dry.

Every few days, gently rinse your soap dish with water to get rid of extra soap residues. Let it dry completely dry in the sun if possible.

3. Occasional oil.

Using a light oil such as sunflower oil will help give a layer of protection to the natural surface.
