iDesign Steel Self-Draining Kitchen and Bathroom Bar Soap Holder, The Kyoto Collection – 4.25" x 3" x 0.5", Brushed Stainless Steel

I use this as a riser/drainer for the hand soap dispenser next to the bathroom sink. It is perfectly flat and a good size for an ordinary sized hand soap bottle. Now instead of sitting in a puddle, the bottom of the dispenser can air out when water drips down from washing my hands. The much narrower, smaller puddles under the drainer dry more quickly. Also the soap holder's metal design looks nicer than a plastic or silicone one and is easy to clean.

I bought this to place a bottle that sits on my sink. The bottom of the bottle would always have mold or gunk under it and I can't stand that so I bought this to place the bottle on it so water can dry off without causing mold anymore. I've had it for a while and plenty of water gets on it but still no color change and anything, still looks new and no more dirty bottom bottles.

It's a great design and just the right size. But then it started to get discolored by what looked like rust. I went back and read the reviews, and started seeing all the complaints about rust, so I thought, oh well, I should have read the reviews before. However, I then cleaned it off, and found out a few things. First, what looked like rust really wasn't. Everything cleaned right off of both the product and the tile shower shelf. Secondly, the product had some type of plastic coating on it that I think might have been interacting with the soap and causing the discoloration. I used an abrasive pad. It all came off, and I've had no more issues with discoloration.So, now it works great.

The stainless steel soap saver with its simple, straight forward style, has the beauty of both form and function. I value the simplicity of lines and it is well made. Esthetically, I think it blends with many styles of decor. Over time, I found rust did develop on the surface. However, for me this is a helpful reminder. It ensures I clean the soap stand regularly instead of letting it accumulate lots of soap residue and become messy, as any uncleaned soap dish does. Plus, the rust comes off easily, so I find cleaning it to actually be reinforcing. But that's me. You may feel differently.

Holds soap and keeps it from getting mushy. Great color and design.

Solid construction. Narrow slots to hold those thin bar slivers which were sliding through our wire shower shelf.

Got it early July and early October it is rusted and not usable anymore. Can not possibly be stainless steel. Too late to get my money back - but better to keep looking. This product is not what it says it is in the description. Hello? Amazon?Update 11/2/11 Contacted InterDesign and they got back to me rather quickly. Offered to send a one time only replacement (much appreciated). Also told me that the product is indeed stainless. The stuff that looks like rust is discoloration from soap or other (cleaning) chemicals. Said to try scrubbing it with something like Bar Keeper's Friend. I did. And it worked. I also sent it through the dishwasher afterward and it is as good as new. So - for everyone who thought it rusted, if you still have the product, try this method. It should work.I was really surprised, but happy - so my review is now 5 stars. Thanks, InterDesign for being so responsive and helpful. Much appreciated.

Unable to comment at this point on durability or sturdiness, but this soap holder looks simple and classy. Matches the bronze of our Simple Human trash can. Fits perfectly in the "lofekea Ceramic Soap Dish for Shower 2 Pack Bar Soap Holder Palette for Watercolors Soap Try" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082D4B32Z?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details so that the soap drippings do not go through the holder. Looks great holding my friend's homemade goatmilk lavender soap!
