We LOVE luxury hand soaps - really any soap that makes our bathroom look, and smell, like a fancy hotel. But we’re not about to shell out big bucks when our renters go through it like water.
So what’s a host to do? Two options: get a gorgeous soap dispenser (we love this one and this one) or set out any of the Instagram-worthy soaps below. Oh and whatever you do, don’t buy a pricey soap bottle and refill it with something else. Trust us, renters will call you out. No one likes a bait and switch!
1. The Mrs. Meyers brand makes effective, clean, great looking products and this hand soap is no exception. Plus the Basil scent is neutral enough (no roses here!) to please everyone.
Yes, all of your guests will want to photograph (and take home) these Soap Rocks, which come in tons of different cool shapes and scents. But at $13 that’s fine by us!
Brand Swedish Dreams describes their Sea Salt Soap as “a salty summer breeze coming off the Atlantic Ocean” so… perfect for your beachside (or wanna be beachside) rental.
This well-designed Huntington Soap in Lavender, Coconut or Lemongrass comes in an amber glass bottle - always a plus when you’re going for luxury points.
Soap for Everyone is our least expensive AND highest rated soap on this list. Our highest rated soap on this list. It looks good, smells great, and cleans without any harsh chemicals. Win-win!
