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!

What is a Soap Shaker?

A Soap Shaker (or soap cage, soap saver) is a utensil that can be used to make bubbly, soapy water. The Soap Shaker has a cage, which holds a bar of soap.

You place it under warm to hot water, then shake it to create your bubbly, soapy water. It is very versatile as you can use any soap you like and the soapy water can be used for washing dishes, clothes, cars, floors, dogs, bubble baths for the children and used in making felt. They can reduce your household waste as you won’t be needing kitchen detergent in plastic bottles!

Why choose our soap shaker?

Australian Made

Our soap shaker (soap cage, soap saver) is Australian made and owned and formed to hold a bar of soap. It replaces single use plastic bottles and detergents. The best way for washing dishes, creating bubbles for children’s baths and in the laundry.

Eco Friendly

We have a strong focus on recycling and our products are made from a very durable plastic which can eventually be recycled, our dishcloths and scourers are made from eco-friendly products which can be put into the compost. By using our shaker you are reducing single use liquid detergent bottles.

Natural ingredients

The soap we use is a very natural soap, such as Sunlight or Velvet. The soap bars, which can still be bought today, can be cut in half to fit the shaker. There are far less chemicals in these types of soaps, as opposed to dishwashing liquids.

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.
