Waste of soap sticking to the tray & soap residue. Hard to clean, material breaks down quickly.
I wanted to like this so much, but it's just not practical for daily use in the shower. The material dries quickly and draws moisture from your soap bars which sounds great in theory, but in reality this means it also draws in a lot of soap residue and causes your soap to stick and break off a little when you try to use it next time. I think I lose a lot more soap from my bar from using this tray than just using a regular ceramic dish w/ a drain spout.
The grooves in between the actual drain holes collects a lot of soap scum and is impossible to clean. It's only been 2 months since I got this. A few weeks in while trying to scrape off some soap residue, some of the black material scraped off with it...a couple times when I unstuck my bars from it, I found black residue from this tray stuck to the bottom of my bar. Running it through the dishwasher does not really get much of the soap residue off. And who wants to wash and baby this thing every single week? This thing is frankly a bit ridiculous and high maintenance. It's just a soap dish. There's more important things to spend time on in your life. Just get a ceramic dish with a drain spout.
