How to prevent dust while curing ?

[rjalex]

New to this art ! First batch left in a tray to cure.
If I leave anything untouched for one or two months in my house I'm sure to find some dust on it !
How do you prevent dust settling on your bars while still letting them "breathe" ?
I was thinking about placing a light cloth or paper on top of them.
Thanks in advance.

I put some paper on top of soap bars, it works just fine

I think also good idea is to buy cheap fabric rack, like that ones

I have the whole fabric wardrobe – bought it for different purpose, but now I use to cure my soaps on the shelf and is just great! I close it, there is no dust, sun light, but plenty ear circulation

Before that I just placed my soaps in a cardboard box and cover as well with kitchen towels

Thanks a lot. Both are great ideas ! I think I need a larger home

I actually use an Ikea system of baskets, and put a sheet of paper between the metal baskets and the soap - and then cover with a clean dish towel to prevent any dust (or cat hair!) getting on the soap. Works well, and our guest room smells heavenly!
