I will admit that using rocks was NOT my idea. I stumbled upon that at a motel I recently stayed at, i.e., the ‘Baxter Park Inn’ in Millinocket, Maine during my trip to ‘Katahdin‘ last month.
They had soap dishes with stones in them. But, they had used SOLID plastic containers for the stones. So the water couldn’t drain. The water collected under & around the stones. That wasn’t good. Not hygienic. Plus, it would be a pain to clean in that you needed to empty the rocks out & then put them back.
It immediately struck me that why you needed was a metal mesh container — that would not rust. Easy enough to find. BINGO.
The water drains out. Yes, soap residue clings to the rocks but that is easy enough to rinse away. Just hold the whole container under the tap. Plus, soap residue on the rocks is NO different to what is left on the bar of soap!
The rocks were easy enough to get. I got them off the road we live on. It is a dirt road. Yes, in time I will get fancier rocks. But, for now I am happy.
I did NOT patent it. You are welcome to STEAL the idea. I am, as ever, generous to a fault.
