I wonder that as well. Maybe soak it. It looks nice but not sure how long it would. I like liquid soap but this is more environmentally friendly.

I've recently gone back to using bar soap at my master bathroom sink, mostly because I happen to have it on hand and it smells good. It sure is messy, though, and I'm always cleaning the dish it sits in. I can't imagine cleaning those stones, too!

And then you have to lay them all out on a towel and rub them so they dry out and won't scum up the soap. Bathrooms are a pain to clean as it is.

It does look rather spa-like however.

I wonder if you could clean the rocks by putting them in a little mesh bag and popping them in the dishwasher?

I have a bowl of beach glass and shells and I just rinse them off in the sink and air dry them. I think putting the pebbles in a mesh bag and swishing them in the sink is a good idea. They'd provide their own soap.

Not for me...the soap leaves soap scum behind which is more to clean as well.

I love how it looks and have done it in the past. I just rinsed the rocks with hot water and they were fine.

Funny story (not related to rocks): I use only bar soap and have frequent playdates with my grandson and various friends of his from school. I can't tell you how many times I've heard them ask my grandson where the soap is in the bathroom because none of them are used to using bar soap. They were looking for a liquid soap dispenser. Guess I'm in the minority!

yeah..I had it in my previous place:) I put in a soap dish a bit of rocks and corals etc my DH collected at some point..we had quite a few of these and I knew he likes them so I had the more elaborate ones(sea stars and all) displayed on a separate tray...and the small ones I put in a soap dish with the soap. It stood next to the bathtub. a) it was pretty b) i knew it makes DH happy because it was meaningful to him c) it was quite easy to wash when it got too soapy, I couldn't see what the big difference is. You sit in a bathtub anyway when doing that..well I sat in a bathtub:) It was like playing with toys in a tub when a kid..:)

I've done this and, like Olychick, just rinse the pebbles with hot water about once a week. No need to dry them. I use liquid soap in the kitchen but enjoy using nice bar soaps in the master bath. The pebbles keep the soap dry between uses and it does give a spa vibe.

I would think that some pebbles get stuck to the bottom of the soap and so when you pick up the soap you've got rocks on it. No?

I cut a small sponge to put on my soap dish and lay the bar of soap on it, takes up the water drying the soap quickly and now and then wet the sponge and squeeze to get the soap out of the sponge. easy peasy.

no, nothing gets stuck

i must say though that most of our rocks were uneven and not so smooth

Well that's kind of fun. I dislike cleaning bathrooms though. However, if I like something enough and find it pretty I don't mind cleaning it.

I love this idea very trendy. I have not tried this in my master bath but we do have pebbles in our sink.

I love this idea. It looks very spa like and zen. I don't think cleaning it once a week would be so hard if you truly want the look!
