To use this soap dish, simply place your bar soap on the removable plastic tray. When the tray gets dirty, you can take it out and clean it easily. For the stainless - steel housing, use a mild soap and a soft cloth to wipe it down regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface. When mounting, make sure to attach the back clamp securely to the gypsum wallboard for a stable installation.
