A cluttered shower is not only an eyesore but also a breeding ground for bacteria and mildew. If you're tired of juggling slippery bottles and soggy soap bars, it's time to take control.

In this guide, we'll show you how to get the most out of your Big Ass Soap Tray, from proper placement to maintenance, and how it can transform your daily grooming experience. Whether you're a seasoned Duke Cannon fan or new to the brand, these tips will help you keep your shower tidy and your products in top condition.

Why the Big Ass Soap Tray is a Game-Changer

The Big Ass Soap Tray is designed to accommodate Duke Cannon's famously large bars of soap, but its benefits go beyond just fitting a big brick. Its sturdy construction and thoughtful design ensure that your soap stays put, even in a high-moisture environment. The tray's elevated ridges allow water to drain away from the soap, preventing the dreaded mushy bottom that shortens a bar's life.

Beyond soap, the tray can double as a catch-all for small items like a razor, a ring, or a watch. Its generous size and non-slip surface make it a versatile addition to any shower caddy or corner. By giving every item a designated spot, you reduce the clutter that accumulates on ledges and shelves, making your shower easier to clean and more pleasant to use.

  • Place the tray on a flat, stable surface to prevent tipping.
  • Use the ridges to keep soap dry between uses.
  • Consider a second tray for shampoo and conditioner bottles to keep them off the floor.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Big Ass Soap Tray

Start by choosing the right location. The tray should be within easy reach of your showering position but not directly under the main water stream to avoid excessive splashing. A corner shelf or a bench works well. If your shower has a tiled ledge, ensure it's level and clean before placing the tray.

Once positioned, place your soap bar on the tray with the flat side down. If you're using a Duke Cannon bar like the Jeep® Brand Brick of Soap - Trail Rated, you'll appreciate the perfect fit. For added stability, you can slightly wet the tray's surface before placing the soap—this creates a light suction effect that keeps the bar from sliding around.

Finally, make it a habit to rinse the tray and soap after each use. This simple step prevents soap scum buildup and keeps both looking fresh. A quick wipe with a damp cloth will also keep the tray's surface free of residue.

  • Avoid placing the tray on uneven surfaces.
  • Rinse the tray weekly to prevent mineral deposits.
  • If you have multiple bars, rotate them to ensure even drying.

Maintenance and Care for Longevity

To keep your Big Ass Soap Tray in top condition, clean it regularly. A mild soap and water solution works best; avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface. For stubborn residue, a mixture of vinegar and water can break down soap scum without damaging the material.

Periodically check the tray's feet or suction cups (if applicable) to ensure they still grip well. If they lose their stickiness, a quick wash with warm soapy water usually restores them. By caring for your tray, you'll enjoy its benefits for years—and your shower will stay organized with minimal effort.

  • Clean the tray once a week to prevent buildup.
  • Dry the tray with a towel after cleaning to avoid water spots.
  • Store the tray outside the shower if you're away for an extended period.

Complementary Products for a Tidy Shower

While the Big Ass Soap Tray is a hero in shower organization, pairing it with other Duke Cannon essentials can elevate your routine. For instance, the Shampoo + Conditioner - Tea Tree not only invigorates your scalp but also comes in bottles that are easy to grip and store. Placing them on a separate shelf or a second tray keeps your shower floor clear.

Another great addition is the Cold Shower Cooling Field Towels. These towels are perfect for post-shower cooldowns and can be hung on a hook near your tray, creating a dedicated grooming station. And don't forget the Daily Hydrating Face Wash - 8 oz. to complete your skincare routine without cluttering your shower space.

  • Group products by category: soap, hair care, and face care.
  • Use corner shelves to maximize vertical space.
  • Keep a small caddy for razors and other accessories.

The Big Ass Soap Tray is a simple yet powerful tool for keeping your shower organized and your grooming products in top shape. By following these tips, you'll enjoy a cleaner, more efficient space every day. Ready to upgrade your shower? Explore the Big Ass Soap Tray and see how it can transform your routine.
