This is the bomb
I have a custom-made porcelain sink that has a section for soap.  I had been using a foaming soap dispenser, but it started to peel and not work, so I decided to go back to bar soap.<br /><br />The area set aside for soap is a bit odd- as it is custom made, it has little bumps and curves that make it hard to get a soap tray to fit.  I ended up using one of the plastic, wiggly-looking soap pads to hold the soap.<br /><br />The soap was mushy, which my husband hates, and it allowed the soapy water to drain down the counter side and onto the floor.  All day- every day.  I cleaned up soapy water from the floor and area rug too many times to mention.<br /><br />I tried other soap holders, but none would work.  They wobbled and fell off.  I was at my wit's end.  Then I saw this for sale.<br /><br />I love wood- I'd have nearly everything in my house made of wood if I could.  I also love artists that work with wood.  So I figured I'd give this a whirl.<br /><br />It does not fit in the space allowed the way I want, but nothing will.  The tray keeps the water draining into the sink, so no more cleaning the floor/rug several times a day.  It keeps the soap nice and dry, and I love seeing it when I do dishes.  (So I'm weird- I told you I love wood!)  My husband even noticed it- he never notices anything.<br /><br />I have had several comments about the tray from visitors, and I pass along the information.  I know that a soap tray isn't a big deal, but when one works the way it is supposed to AND it is attractive and not made of plastic, then it's a keeper.  I love this soap tray.<br /><br />11/12/2019<br /><br />I had to take some stars away as the soap dish stained my 100-year-old porcelain sink.  I was able to get the stain off, but it took about 5 minutes of scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend, and I don't want to do that every day.  I love this dish, but I had to stop using it as it left stains.
