Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Oct 03, 2009 1:29 pm I want to build niches into our showers, but I am wondering what to do with soap? Do we get separate holders installed? This kind of defeats the purpose of the niche being built in... or do you just keep your soap in the niche as well? Any help would be great! Re: What does the soap go? 3Oct 03, 2009 5:01 pm We actually got them to take out the soap holders. We use liquid soap with a puff, it leaves less of a soap scum in the shower, and is gentler on our skin. I think soap is almost becoming a thing of the past.

Liquid soap is a grea idea - thanks for that! Re: What does the soap go? 6Oct 05, 2009 9:18 am I just realised that I called this thread 'What does the soap go?' HAHA I clearly meant WHERE? I'm not sure that I can convince DH to use liquid soap... and I am worried that putting it in the niche would cause some serious build up. In our current home we have a glass shelf that has a hole in the centre so that the suds and excess water drips off. Re: What does the soap go? 8Oct 05, 2009 8:26 pm My dh prefers liquid soap and I've now switched us over to an SLS and Paraben free one, he just uses what's in front of him Re: What does the soap go? 9Oct 16, 2009 8:21 pm I prefer liquid soap too. Some people prefer the plain old soap. I hate how soap cakes up on whatever it sits on and then just sticks like glue. Re: What does the soap go? 11Oct 17, 2009 11:56 am Some glass shelves have a built-in soap dish, likethis one from Reece: http://www.reece.com.au/products/hires/2261358.jpg. (Can't post the image, it's too big....) Or you can buy a separate soap dish that you can put in your niche to stop the soap sliding off.
