Soap Dispensers and Soap Holders
When trying to decide between fitting a soap dispenser or soap holder in your shower area, why not err on the side of caution and install both? There are times when you may wish to use a traditional bar of soap, but other times when you may want the handy convenience of a soap dispenser. To give you more flexibility, if you find that you aren’t using the soap dispenser, remember you can also dispense shampoo from it; you don’t have to use it only for soap.
Obviously the choice of soap holder and dispenser should complement the type of shower you have and they should blend in with the overall style of your bathroom.
You should have no problem in achieving a co-ordinated look, as the choices available for both the holders and dispensers are actually quite extensive. You can find clear, coloured, square or round dispensers and clear, frosted glass or coloured holders.
Clear dispensers may not look as chic as some of the frosted glass options, but they will allow you to see when the soap is low or needs to be replaced.
Soap holders are also available in complementing styles and many are fitted with holes on the bottom, which makes cleaning them that little bit easier and helps prevent damp soap simply melting away in the heat.
Both the holder and dispenser should be fitted at a height that is readily accessible, but they should not be placed where you risk knocking your head when standing up after bending down in the shower.
