Using your Decor Walther Century Luxury Soap Dish is a breeze. Simply place your bar of soap on the dish, and it will hold it securely. To keep your soap dry and prevent it from getting mushy, make sure to let any excess water drain off. As for cleaning, just use a mild soap and warm water. Gently wipe the dish with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they can scratch the KRISTALL material. If you're not using the dish for a long time, store it in a dry place. With proper care, your soap dish will stay looking great for years to come.
