Product Information
Full details
The Zeal Two Part Draining Soap Dish is an ideal accessory for anyone looking to extend the life of their soap bars and keep their bathroom or kitchen counters free of messy residue. By combining a flexible silicone inner rack with a sturdy melamine outer tray, this dish promotes airflow and prevents soap from softening in standing water, though users should note that the two-piece design requires periodic rinsing to remove collected water beneath the rack.

FAQs
Is this soap dish made of plastic?
The outer tray is constructed from durable melamine, and the inner rack is made of flexible, high-quality silicone.
Can I wash the soap dish in the dishwasher?
Yes, both the silicone insert and the melamine outer tray are dishwasher safe.
Will this fit larger shower soap bars?
It is designed for standard soap bar sizes; extra-large or specialty-shaped bars may overhang the edges.
Does the water automatically drain into the sink?
No, the dish is a closed two-part system that catches the water; you should empty the collected water periodically.
Can I use this for things other than soap?
Yes, the draining design makes it useful for small sponges or scrub brushes in the kitchen as well.
Troubleshooting
Silicone rack sliding inside the tray
Ensure the tray is completely dry before placing the silicone insert back inside to improve surface grip.
Soap residue buildup on the tray
Soak the silicone insert in warm, soapy water for 10 minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush before rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Zeal soap dish is straightforward: place the silicone rack into the melamine tray, ensuring it sits flush against the bottom. The design is compatible with standard-sized bar soaps.
To care for your dish:
- Routine Rinse: Rinse the silicone rack under warm water whenever you replace your soap bar.
- Deep Clean: Place both parts in your dishwasher for a thorough sanitizing cycle as needed.
- Surface Protection: While the melamine is durable, avoid using abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the finish of the outer tray.
