Whether you’re a liquid handwash or a bar of soap kind of folk, you’ll need a vessel to hold them by the sink—and it’s nice to have options. Of course the biggest difference is that a soap dispenser is for your liquid soap and a soap dish is for a bar.
You can decide to place one or both by the sink. This idea is particularly ideal for a guest bathroom or the powder room to give others the satisfaction of choosing their favorite soap option. For a handy tip, a soap dish is recommended for your bath or shower soap to keep it drier, preserving the bar for longer.
