Poplar wood is a fast growing sustainable hardwood that grows in abundance here in North America, and it performs exceptionally well with water and moisture exposure. Poplar wood varies in color from white cream to light minty green.
This soap dish has minimal surface area to minimize the sticking of the soap. The wide angled channels allows the water to quickly drain for the soap, extending the life of the soap. This not only allows your soap to dry quicker and extending life to the soap, but it also extends the life of the soap dish.
Care Instructions:
While a soap dish significantly extends the life of your handcrafted soaps, did you know that it is possible to also extend the life of your handcrafted natural wood soap dishes? To significantly extend the life of your soap dish, I encourage our customers to use our soap dishes in pairs. Use one soap dish for 2-3 weeks, and then gently wipe clean with a damp cloth and set aside to allow it to fully dry out. Use the second dish for 2-3 week while the first dish dries out, and then alter them this way. Allowing the dishes to fully dry out every few weeks will prevent mold and mildew from developing and it will prevent wood from becoming waterlogged and rotting. This will greatly increase the life of a soap dish!
