Smedbo Sideline Wall-Mounted Soap Basket Polished Chrome

The Soap Dish That Solved the Puddle Problem

Every solid soap dish has the same flaw: water pools beneath the bar, soap dissolves faster than it should, and the dish itself becomes a breeding ground for residue. The Smedbo Sideline Wall Soap Basket DK1005 takes a different approach entirely. The open wire basket construction lets water drain freely and air circulate around the soap, keeping the bar drier between uses and the holder itself clean with minimal effort. Wall-mounted with concealed fixings, crafted from solid brass with a polished chrome finish, it is the soap holder that actually works — and looks considered doing it.

At 135 mm wide and 95 mm deep, it holds a standard bar of soap with room to spare. The rounded end posts mount flush to the wall with no visible screws. The polished chrome finish is smooth, non-porous, and easy to wipe down. And the solid brass beneath it means rust is simply not a possibility — ever.

How to Use

Fix the basket to the wall using the concealed fixing system — suitable for solid walls, tiled surfaces, and stud walls with appropriate fixings. Place a bar of soap directly into the open wire basket. Water drains freely through the base after each use, keeping the soap drier and lasting longer. Wipe the chrome frame regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove soap residue and water marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Dry after cleaning to prevent limescale build-up in hard water areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Smedbo Sideline DK1005?
It is a wall-mounted soap basket in polished chrome on solid brass, part of the Smedbo Sideline collection. The open wire design allows water to drain freely and air to circulate around the soap, keeping the bar drier between uses and the holder clean with minimal effort.

Why is an open basket better than a solid soap dish?
A solid soap dish traps water beneath the bar, causing the soap to dissolve faster and the dish to accumulate residue. The open wire basket of the DK1005 drains freely after every use, extending the life of the soap and keeping the holder itself clean and hygienic.

What are the dimensions of the soap basket?
The DK1005 is 22 mm in height, 135 mm wide, and 95 mm deep — sized to hold a standard bar of soap comfortably with room to spare.

Will the chrome finish rust in a bathroom or shower environment?
No. The basket is constructed from solid brass with a polished chrome finish — both materials are inherently corrosion-resistant and designed for long-term use in high-humidity environments. It will not rust, tarnish, or corrode with normal use.

How is the DK1005 fixed to the wall?
The basket uses a concealed fixing system, meaning no visible screws on the wall or tile surface. It is suitable for solid walls, tiled surfaces, and stud walls with appropriate fixings. Always refer to the fitting instructions supplied with the product.

Does the DK1005 coordinate with other Smedbo Sideline accessories?
Yes — the Sideline collection is designed to work cohesively. This soap basket pairs naturally with the Sideline shower baskets, towel holders, hooks, and bathroom accessories for a unified scheme.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove soap residue and water marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent limescale build-up in hard water areas.
