PROBLEMS• In the small gaps and corners the soap gets gathered and

sometimes its not possible to clean • The large handle may provide comfort in holding but its

distributed surface area mass when soaps are placed into the dish makes a unbalanced kind of weight distribution

• The gaps and small corners get filled by the soap when the soap is wet

• Too much complex design of soap dish gets bad reviews from the customers and its users

• If we see this product on a production level then this much of detailing in the soap dish results in the increase in the detailing in the casting die which is made up iron

SOLUTIONS• This soap dish doesn’t have too much of gaps and corners so

as to void the gathering of soap.• It has a quiet small handle so that the user can hold it up by

his/her one finger• Due to its curvy form all the weight is centralize in the centre

which makes a balance so as to hold it up • The melted soap will go down by the one slight curve on both

sides, and due the form of the dish the soap will go out from that place only

• Its simple design makes it possible for easy cleaning• On the basis of manufacturing and production it had more

simple form than the other one, and makes it easier to produce
