How to Store Hard Shampoo in the Shower

Hard shampoo bars have not been designed to be stored in the shower, or water after use.

This causes the shampoo bar to wear down quicker and cause sogginess on your shampoo bar.

Make sure to drain your shampoo bars after every use.

If your bar gets soggy then leave it out of the shower for a few days, and let it dry thoroughly.

Hard shampoo bars are commonly stored on a soap dish with plenty of holes so that the air can get to the underside of your bar and dry it out.

However, you can also let your shampoo bar air dry on the sink, and then place it in a tin.

A tin could prevent your shampoo bar from getting squished when traveling.

Hang your hard shampoo in a shampoo net, they are often made from cotton or hemp, this absorbs the excess water from the shampoo bars helping it to dry out, and you can hang them anywhere.

Depending on what ingredients are in your shampoo bars, you should keep them out of direct sunlight to stop your bars from melting.

Shampoo bars reduce the single-use plastic in your home.

One problem with shampoo bars is that they can turn to mush when left in damp places, and not stored correctly.

A few products which would help with this problem is the:
