While our customers were very happy with our soap savers, due to the design, water and soap did collect on the surface below. We feel the problem has been solved with our NEW soap savers. Made in the USA from 100% white pine with no glue, paint, stain or varnish added. Amazingly, these soap savers can sit in a wet environment for years and still look great! The unique wave design allows the soap to dry and resist becoming "gooey" or melting away while keeping the surface below soap and water free. Works great with our African Black Soap.
