How can a soaptray be made of wood?
Historically, wooden soaptrays have been a thing. The key to make it resistant to moisture was selecting the appropriate type of wood species, and making sure to coat the item with some sort of varnish or paint surely helps to avoid direct contact of the wood itself with the water and other substances present on the soap.
In order to make our soaptrays resistant to moisture, however, we are not using lacquer or any other sort of coating. Unlike natural wood, CXP goods have a smooth surface. That difference, in itself, explains why it is harder for water to get โstuckโ in the material and become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. But to take things a step further, we have designed our tray with features to help prevent water puddling under the soap bar.
- The concave shape with a lower central area leading to a hole helps drain most of the water content that comes with the soap bar when you rest it on the tray.
- The two raised bars close to the center make sure that your soap is elevated, allowing for the water to actually get drained and the soap to dry faster.
So far we have covered CXPโs smoothness and the trayโs design. Now, what can you do to make sure the tray lasts for a long time?

Open your bathroom windows (and door) to let steam out, if you love to take hot showers. If your bathroom is constantly moist, it can harbor bacteria and mold - which is harmful not only for your dear tray but a health hazard.

Itโs always a good idea to clean your tray after each soap bar you use. It prevents buildup from soap matter, which is surely more moist than CXP.

If you have more than one soap tray, it is also good to rotate their use - so you can leave one tray rest in a dry place while the other is in use.
With these tips in place, you should be able to use your CXP soaptray for a long time!
