A soap dish is a small container or tray designed to hold a bar of soap. Soap dishes can be made of various materials, such as plastic, ceramic, metal, or stone. They are commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where hand-washing is frequent. Soap dishes come in different shapes, sizes, and designs, and can have features like drainage holes, ridges, or non-slip surfaces to prevent soap from becoming soggy or slipping out of the dish. Using a soap dish helps keep soap clean and dry, and prolongs the life of the soap bar.
