A soap shaker makes Dishes by hand Easy

If we wound the clock back a few generations, a soap shaker is the kitchen gadget that you would find in every kitchen! It would absolutely be used every time the dishes got washed because doing dishes with soap was the original way!  The beauty is how easy a shaker makes using bar of soap. The cage part opens up and holds your soap. Once the bar is secure, you simply hold the handle and swish the soap in the water. Now you are lathering up your dishwater without getting your hands wet—this means you can easily get the water nice and hot without over heating your pinkies! Genius!

A positive swap that last a lifetime

Made from rust-proof stainless steel, our soap shaker is built to last, making it a true one-time purchase for your sustainable home. You and your family will get years of sudsy service with this soap shaker, without missing a 'dishes by hand' beat!

Making the switch to soap for dish washing has so many positive benefits around plastic waste but also keeping ourselves healthy. Dish detergents come in a new plastic bottle every time, and have ingredients that are harsh on your skin as you are washing, but also leave residues can affect your gut health over time. Bar soap is plastic free and so supports a low-impact home. Because of its natural ingredients, it is also non-toxic and biodegradable—this means soap won’t leave behind harsh residues or pollute our waterways.

The best non-tox combo is to team your shaker up with Figgy Bar Soap. We hand-batch this soapy goodness and it is specially formulated for easy cleaning without the typical chemical waffle you'll find in dish detergents. For more tips and tricks see our blog on how to use a soap shaker.

This shaker has a generous cage size of 11x8x6cm to easily fit new bars of soap and an overall length of 28cm.

Slide back the ring down the handle and open the cage end of the soap shaker. Pop soap into the basket and flip the top over, slide the ring back—your soap is now secure.
Washing dishes with soap works best with hot water. Hold the handle of your shaker and give it a jig-jig-jiggle under hot tap as the sink fills. Want a hands free option? Drop the shaker into the skin and position the soap so it’s under the water.
As the hot water dissolves the soap, the water will change colour. You won’t get as many bubbles as detergent—remember, big fluffy bubbles don’t clean anything they are just a  sign of a harsh surfactant that harms our waterways.
You will know you have enough soap in your water when you rub your fingers together and the soapy water feels a bit slippery. You want to aim for water that is just slippery, and not more. This way you won’t over use your soap and it will last longer.
Plan to wash your dishes in the order of least dirty to more dirty. This looks like glasses and cups first, followed by plates then greasy roast pans. Anything that is quiet dirty will be easier to wash if you let it soak for a minute of two first.
To get the most from your soap, let it dry our completely between uses and avoid leaving it in a watery puddle. Be sure to store or hang your soap shaker in a dry spot.
