One of the most annoying things regarding regular soaps is the storage aspect. Although most soap dishes allow the soap to soak in its own water until it dries, unfortunately, this is almost never the case. The reason is simple – we use the soap multiple times a day, so there’s not enough time for it to dry. So instead of a dry and ready to use soap, each and every day you will be “forced” to touch a wet, glue-like, half-melted and disgusting to use soap. Fortunately, today’s manufacturers have come up with the most practical yet stylish types of soap dishes Australia homeowners can rely on. This means that the newest types of soap trays don’t allow the soap to soak in its own filthy water.

Strainer Soap Dish

The new strainer soap trays have a clever mechanism which can be placed on the sink, bathtub or bath products holder. Generally speaking, the strainer soap trays are made from ceramic base and metal strainer, however, you can also opt for some kind of plastic combo. The beauty of this product lies in its strainer which allows the soapy water to drain down into its basin. The basin itself can be easily separated from the strainer for easier cleaning.

Basket Soap Dish

If you like to use a bar of soap in the shower as well, you will be pleased with this new type of wall-mounted basket soap dishes. Featuring clean-lined design, the new range of basket soap dishes Australia stores offer are the perfect addition for any bathroom style. Made of durable material like solid brass construction, these chrome-plated soap trays are corrosion and rust-resistant with huge spaces in between to allow water drainage. By investing in this type of soap tray, you can surely get the best of both worlds – dry and bacteria-free soap.

Waterfall Soap Dish

Last but not least, this is another great soap tray invention as it helps the bar dry off in a sanitary manner. The design of this soap tray is made to mimic a waterfall that drains the soapy water back into the sink. The base of the dish has two or more small prongs the purpose of which is to hold the soap into place while letting the water drain freely. This type of dish can be made of plastic, ceramic or even glass, but when it comes to functionality, the plastic ones seem to be a better choice as they are not that easy to break.
