Soaps by a Chemist Soap Dish

Untreated wood is naturally porous and absorbent, which helps wick moisture away from the bottom of your soap bar. This prevents the soap from sitting in a puddle, allowing it to dry out faster and last significantly longer between uses.

Since this dish is made of raw, untreated wood, it is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply rinse it with warm water and let it air dry completely; if there is soap buildup, you can gently scrub it with a soft brush or cloth.

While not strictly required, alternating between two dishes is the best way to extend the life of the wood. By rotating them, you ensure one dish is always completely dry while the other is in use, which prevents the wood from becoming oversaturated and keeps it in top condition for years.

Because the wood is untreated and natural, it may absorb some soap residue or water over time. To protect your countertop, we recommend placing the dish on a surface that is easy to wipe down, or simply rinsing the bottom of the dish occasionally to remove any soap film.

No. The dish features a simple, zero-waste construction made without nails or glue. It is ready to use right out of the box as a countertop accessory.
