A magnetic soap holder comprising a substantially vertical portion and a substantially horizontal portion. The vertical portion being horizontally mountable to a flat surface and extending upwardly and outwardly from a base. The horizontal portion extends upwardly and outwardly from the vertical portion and includes a horizontal end portion. The horizontal end portion having a top surface and a flat bottom surface. A magnet is attached to the bottom surface for magnetically attracting a magnetic member pressed into a bar of soap, thereby suspending the bar of soap above a tub or sink basin. The structure, geometry and design of the present invention facilitates better materials of construction for the magnetic soap holder, improving quality and overall appearance of the soap holder, as well as increased height of the magnetic soap holder, improving the utility of the soap holder.

Magnetic soap holder

An improved cap style soap gripper for a magnetic soap holder including a hole in the side wall of the cap to facilitate insertion into a bar of soap and textured grooves on the inside surface to increase pullout force. A powder coating further increases the pullout force by increasing the surface energy of the cap. Elevating the temperature of the cap prior to insertion also facilitates the cap's insertion into a bar of soap and increases the required pullout force. A decreased diameter to height ratio, in addition, eases the insertion of the cap into a bar of soap, and lessens the effect of soap erosion.
