Soap Care

Handmade soap is made to be enjoyed, and with just a little care, each bar will last even longer.

Give Your Soap a Place to Dry

Choose a soap dish that allows for good airflow and drainage. Keeping your soap elevated and out of standing water allows it to dry completely between uses, helping it stay firm and last longer.

Keep It Dry Between Uses

Avoid leaving your soap sitting in water or on a flat surface where moisture can collect. The drier your soap stays between uses, the longer it will last.

Store Extra Bars Properly

Not ready to use your next bar? Store unused soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A linen closet, dresser drawer, or cabinet works well and will often leave everything smelling wonderful.

Handmade Soap Gets Better with Time

Unlike many commercial soaps, properly cured handmade soap has a long shelf life. In fact, many soap makers enjoy letting bars continue to age because they become even harder and longer lasting over time.

Every bar at Bubbles & Charm is handcrafted with care. With just a little attention between uses, you'll enjoy a longer-lasting bar - and a little more charm every day.

Any soap dish that keeps your soap elevated, allows air to circulate, and lets water drain away will help your handmade soap last longer. Here are a few examples.
