Made from soft, durable cotton mesh, a Spikava acts as a premium washcloth that is custom-sized to hold larger luxury artisan bars—or smaller leftover pieces. It protects the soap, builds thick lather, and allows the bar to hang dry securely between uses to extend its lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"8\"\u003eSpike\u003c\/i\u003e (the heavy iron anchor of a railroad track) + \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"60\"\u003eAva\u003c\/i\u003e (from the Latin root \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"85\"\u003elavare\u003c\/i\u003e, meaning to wash or build lather).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Daily Wash Cotton Soap Saver\u003c\/b\u003e A railroad spike drives into the timber to hold the track together.
