Abstract There is provided a combination soap case and scrubber having three side-walls which have portions thereof which are cut out so as to facilitate withdrawal of the soap. The bottom plane of the case contains vent holes and indentations for supporting the soap so as to minimize the contact surface between the soap and the case itself. The underside surface of the bottom of the case is provided with a scrubbing surface, such as plastic blades, or sandpaper or the like.
