Drainage
A slotted or ridged dish lets water drain so soap does not melt into a puddle. A solid dish needs wiping. Choose a design that drains back into the shower or basin.
Materials
Stainless steel 304, brass and ceramic suit damp bathrooms. Aluminium is light, and plastic is cheap but can discolour. Avoid plated iron, which rusts quickly.
Fixing
Use plugs and screws into solid wall for heavy holders, and adhesive or suction for light ones. Place the holder within easy reach of the basin or shower, about 100 to 120 centimetres from the floor. Keep it out of direct spray.
Care
Empty and wipe the dish weekly, wash off soap scum and dry the wall beneath. Replace suction pads when they lose grip.
What to check before buying
- Drainage. Slots or ridges
- Material. Steel, brass or ceramic
- Fixing. Right for the wall
- Finish. Matches taps
Bar soap or liquid
Liquid soap is hygienic and tidy, and bar soap is cheaper and lasts. Choose the holder to match your habit. See liquid soap dispensers. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
Before you decide
Choose the material and drainage, fix it within reach and match the finish. A good soap holder keeps the bathroom neat at little cost. Place it over the basin or inside the shower so drips fall where they should, and replace a cracked or rusty holder at once, because a falling dish can chip a basin and a rusty one leaves orange stains on tiles that are hard to remove.
