What is a Soap Shaker?

A Soap Shaker (also known as a soap cage or soap saver) is a handy tool for creating bubbly, soapy water. It features a cage that holds a bar of soap. By placing the Soap Shaker under warm to hot water and giving it a shake, you can produce soapy water for various uses.

The Soap Shaker is highly versatile, accommodating any type of soap. The resulting soapy water can be used for washing dishes, clothes, cars, floors, and dogs, as well as for children’s bubble baths and in felting projects. By using a Soap Shaker, you can significantly reduce household waste by eliminating the need for kitchen detergent in plastic bottles!

A little bit about us

We are two sisters – Vicki (in Victoria) and Robyn (in Queensland), who have taken the plunge to produce, in Australia, a reusable soap shaker. You may know it as a soap cage or soap saver. We were adamant it had to be made in Australia. We were extremely lucky as we had a connection to Garden City Plastics, manufacturers of plastics products, through Vicki’s son who played football for Olinda Ferny Creek Football and Netball Club. Their major sponsor is Garden City Plastics! We made contact with them and the rest is history!

Natural Ingredients for a Healthier Home

We recommend using natural soaps, such as Sunlight or Velvet, with our Soap Shaker. These timeless soap bars are still readily available and can be easily cut in half to fit perfectly into the shaker. Natural soaps contain significantly fewer chemicals than traditional dishwashing liquids, making them a healthier and more eco-friendly choice for you and the environment. That said, the versatility of our Soap Shaker means you can use any soap that suits your needs.

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the Soap Shaker. Our dishcloths and scourers are made from eco-friendly cotton, while our soap bags are carefully crafted from beeswax and cotton. These thoughtfully designed products are perfect for reducing waste and creating a greener, cleaner home.

Our Inspiration

Our inspiration was our mother, Melba May, who used a soap shaker for most of her married life from the 1950’s onwards, and we still have that one! The design of ours was based on Mum’s, with a few alterations. Once we decided that we were going to start our business in 2020, we had to do some research into finding a plastics company to manufacture the shakers.
