Quick Drying Stone for Soap or Brushes - Diatomaceous Clay Dish
About this Product
Revolutionary Soap Storage That Actually Works
Say goodbye to soggy, mushy soap bars. Our Quick Drying Stone is made from diatomaceous clay – a natural, renewable material derived from fossilized algae – that absorbs moisture instantly and extends the life of your soap bars significantly. This isn't just a soap dish; it's a game-changer for anyone using bar soap or natural dish brushes.
The Science Behind the Stone
Diatomaceous clay is uniquely porous, allowing it to absorb up to 150% of its weight in moisture. Within seconds, water is drawn away from your soap or brushes and begins evaporating from the stone's surface. This rapid drying action prevents the bacterial growth and mildew that thrive on traditional soap dishes.
Clean, Modern Aesthetic
Our light gray stone features a sleek geometric design that complements any decor style from modern farmhouse to contemporary minimalist. Its neutral tone brightens spaces while blending seamlessly with your existing bathroom or kitchen aesthetic.
Why Your Soap (and You) Will Love This
Extends Soap Life Dramatically
Wet soap sitting in water dissolves and becomes mushy, wasting your investment in quality soap. Our quick-drying stone keeps soap elevated and dry between uses, allowing bars to last 2-3 times longer than on traditional dishes.
Naturally Antimicrobial
The porous structure of diatomaceous clay naturally inhibits bacterial and mildew growth. No more slimy soap scum or that musty smell traditional soap dishes develop over time.
Perfect for Humid Climates
If you live in a humid environment where nothing seems to dry, this stone is essential. It works overtime in steamy bathrooms and damp climates, keeping your soap perfectly dry.
Dries in Seconds
The remarkable absorption capacity means water disappears almost instantly. Your soap stays firm, your counters stay dry, and your bathroom stays cleaner.

Easy Care and Maintenance
Daily Care
Simply rinse with water and wipe clean as needed. The stone's natural properties do most of the work for you.
Regular Maintenance
Every 10-20 days, wash the stone thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. This maintains optimal absorbency.
Deep Cleaning
For a deeper clean, use:
- White vinegar for mineral deposits
- Baking soda + hydrogen peroxide for stains

Refreshing Absorbency
If you notice reduced absorption over time, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to expose fresh porous material underneath. This simple step restores the stone's like-new performance.

FAQs
How does this compare to a traditional soap dish?
Traditional soap dishes trap water underneath the soap, causing it to become mushy and dissolve quickly. Our quick-drying stone absorbs moisture instantly, keeping soap firm and extending its life significantly.
Will this work in a very humid bathroom?
Yes! The stone's absorbency works especially well in humid environments. Even in steamy bathrooms, it continues to draw moisture away from your soap.
How long does the stone last?
With proper care, these stones can last for years. If absorption decreases over time, simply sand the surface lightly to refresh it.
Can I use this for multiple soap bars?
Yes, the 5"x3" surface can accommodate multiple smaller bars or one larger bar comfortably.
Does it leave water marks on my counter?
No, the stone absorbs water rather than allowing it to pool. Your counters stay dry and clean.
Is it safe for all soap types?
Yes, it works beautifully with all bar soaps – handmade, commercial, dish soap, shampoo bars, and more.
Can this be used for other items?
Absolutely! Many customers use it for toothbrush holders, makeup sponges, or any small item that needs to dry quickly.
Will you offer other colors in the future?
We're starting with light gray, which complements a wide variety of decor styles. Stay tuned for potential color additions based on customer feedback!
