Magnetic soap holder

1x Magnetic soap holder Jumbo 250g in eco blister
Packaging: 1er Sattelreiter
Our Jumbo soap holder has been specially designed for large and heavy soaps.With its larger suction cup and stronger magnet, the soap holder carries soap bars up to 250g, such as larger Aleppo soaps. The soap holder allows the soap to float in the sink or shower. Drilling or gluing is not necessary. This also saves space because there is no need to have a soap dish on the sink edge. The soap is always clean as, unlike a soap dish, it no longer rests in its own water, but is suspended freely in the sink or on the shower tile.The Jumbo soap holder has a diameter of 52 mm and height of 16 mm when pressed on. Due to its strong neck, there is no downward bending even with heavy soaps. Unlike other models, the strong magnetic force is not achieved by using a soap button with a higher thickness, but by using a stronger magnet. Soap buttons with too high thickness are difficult to press into a soap, and also more easily tend to detach from the soap again. Where does the suction cup hold, where does it not?Holds on all smooth and non-porous surfaces: washbasin, shower, bathtub and tiles.non-porous are stone washbasins, marble, non-enameled stone tiles, as a precaution, try a suction cup of some kind on the spot as a precaution, try another suction cup on the spot you want to fix the soap holderCombination with Traveler soap container The Jumbo magnetic soap holder is also suitable for our Traveler soap dish. The suction cup can be attached onto the bottom of the soap box and allows a soap to float and to dry in the closed soap box when you are on a tripInfo: our "PROMO" soap box comes without a soap holder, which means you can use this Jumbo magnetic soap holder there. Our standard Traveler soap box includes the Jumbo soap holder.

Very successful - I don't like hotel soaps and in vacation apartments you have to bring your own stuff anyway. The Traveler is really practical and well thought out. It's just as easy to use in a hotel or vacation apartment. What's really great is that the soap doesn't touch the inside of the container. So you can also pack moist soap.

Soap & soap holder always with you

Traveler is the first soap box that always has a magnetic soap holder with it.

The soap is magnetically attached to the soap holder so that it does not touch the wall. In normal soap tins, the moist soap rubs off, leaving behind dirt and waste. 

Traveler, is simple and practical: remove the soap and soap holder and attach it to the shower or washbasin at home or in the hotel. On departure, place the moist soap on the soap holder in the soap box, where it will dry completely.

SAVONT soap holders are also suitable for traveling


Experience the simplicity of our soap holders on the go: the magnetic soap holder can be installed in our Traveler soap box, so that a wet soap is held in it without contact with the wall. Even when the soap box is moved, e.g. when traveling in a suitcase, it is held firmly in place. There is no abrasion and the soap can dry from all sides.

Ocean plastic

Cleans the environment: made from collected and recycled plastic from the sea

Soap Boxes

Equipped with Jumbo soap holder

Jumbo Edition is a strong soap holder with a 5.2 cm diameter suction cup

It keeps the soap stable inside the soap box, can be removed from the soap box and attached to any smooth surface in the hotel bathroom, vacation home, etc. So you can enjoy your own soap anywhere.

Space-saving and sustainable soap holder for the modern bathroom


SAVONT simplifies hand movements when washing hands and showering: the soap is immediately within reach in the sink (instead of at the sink), as well as in the shower. The soap does not rest anywhere, leaving no soft spots where unnecessary abrasion occurs. The vertical installation in the shower or washbasin means that the soap dries quickly. Water droplets and soap lather remain in the wet area, especially in the washbasin, and flow directly into the drain. Practical at home in your own bathroom, on the road in a hotel, camper or boat.

Space-saving

Our soap holders save space because the soap hangs vertically in the washbasin or on the wall

Clean

Soap suds drain directly into the washbasin

Dry

Vertical mounting allows soaps to dry quickly

Flexible

The suction cup attachment makes it possible to change the mounting location

Versatile in use


Our soap holder is a versatile solution for various environments that require simple and flexible installation. Thanks to its innovative suction cup design, it can be attached without drilling or gluing, which not only makes it easier to attach, but also ensures damage-free use. Applications range from campers and boats to vacation homes, hotels, tiny houses and motorhomes. The minimalist concept fits perfectly into the philosophy of the Tinyhouse concept and brings functionality without unnecessary frills.

Whether in the shower, at the washbasin or in the kitchen - this soap holder reliably fulfills its function everywhere. The flexible attachment also allows it to be used in temporary accommodation such as motorhomes or on cruises. Thanks to its versatility and sophisticated design, our soap holder is not only a practical accessory, but also a clever solution for anyone who values hygiene and tidiness in a simple and flexible way, no matter where they are.

House & Villa

Minimalist design blends in perfectly with the house and villa, adding elegance without superfluous details.

Mobile Home & Tiny House

Compact functionality without wasting space, a clever solution for minimalists

Hotel

Easy installation without permanent changes, ideal for hotels and vacation homes

Criteria for choosing a soap holder or soap dish

The purpose of a soap holder is to extend the life of a soap by allowing it to dry quickly and from all sides. If the soap rests anywhere, there is an increased loss at this point. Another point is its flexible attachment, without having to stick it to expensive tiles or even drill holes. A soap holder should not take up any unnecessary space, as many small items are usually needed in the bathroom anyway. Finally, there is also the question of whether the soap holder ensures cleanliness: if it is outside the washbasin, water droplets will get everywhere when you reach for the soap. So consider the following points

  • Can the soap dry from all sides?
  • Is the soap holder flexible and reversible in the shower and washbasin?
  • Does the soap dish take up extra space at the washbasin?
  • Does the soap holder get dirty easily or do you get water on the bathroom furniture when you reach for the soap in the soap dish?

Other types of soap dishes, soap dishes and soap holders

If we examine soap holders and soap dishes, they can be divided into the following groups regardless of the material

Soap dish with drip tray

The soap lies on the plastic and cannot dry on the underside. Not very suitable for the shower.

Magnetic soap holder for wall mounting

The soap dries completely, but drops of water are spread outside the washbasin when you reach for the soap. Not suitable for the shower

Soap holder with drip rack

Soap holders with draining grids do not allow the soaps to dry completely. Rapid soiling of the grid. Water drops outside the washbasin when reaching for the soap.

Soap dish with drip tray

The soap dish is located on the edge of the washbasin. Soap suds stains often form around the shelf. The soap does not dry on the underside.

What types of soap holder are there?

Advantages of bamboo soap dishes

Bamboo soap dishes are environmentally friendly as bamboo is a rapidly renewable raw material. Their natural design matches almost any bathroom decor and creates a beautiful picture. Bamboo is naturally water-repellent, lightweight and robust.

Disadvantages of bamboo soap dishes

The main disadvantage from our point of view is that the soap has to rest on the bamboo. This means that the soap cannot dry completely. The next time it is used, more soap is lost from these soft areas. Another disadvantage is the space required: the soap dish has to be placed on the edge of the washbasin. If you reach for the soap, especially in the case of countertop washbasins, water droplets will fall onto the bathroom furniture. Another disadvantage is that the dripping water collects under the soap dish and forms dirt there.

Bamboo as a material can lose its color over time. If the wood is permanently exposed to water, bamboo can swell and deform.

Advantages of soap dishes with drip rack

The draining grid allows most of the soap to dry. Excess drops flow outside the soap dish area.

Disadvantages of soap dishes with drip tray

The disadvantage of the soap dish with draining grid is that the soap has to rest on the grid. The soap cannot dry on these ribs. It remains soft there and the next time it is used, more soap is lost. As with the bamboo soap holder, excess drops flow under the soap dish and form a water-soap mixture on the edge of the washbasin that dries out later and needs to be cleaned regularly. Another disadvantage is that extra space is required at the edge of the washbasin. A horizontal shelf is required in the shower where the soap dish can be placed. The soap dish also always needs to be cleaned because the soft soap wraps around the grid.

Advantage of magnetic soap holders with adhesive mounting

The advantage of all magnetic soap holders is that the soap can dry from all sides.

Disadvantage of soap holders with adhesive mounting

L-shaped magnetic soap holders are only suitable for wall mounting above the washbasin. It is important to note that you have to reach outside the washbasin with your wet hand to pick up the soap. This leads to water dripping outside the washbasin. An L-shaped magnetic soap holder is rather unsuitable due to the protrusion in the shower.

It must be ensured that the adhesive mounting can be removed again without leaving any residue.

Does the magnet have extra magnetic protection? If not, we recommend gently returning the soap to the magnet. This protects the magnet and increases its service life.

Advantage of soap dishes with suction cup attachment

These soap dishes can be attached to the tiles in the shower or above the washbasin without drilling or gluing. They are flexible if you want to change something in the bathroom.

Disadvantages

The soap remains in contact with the soap dish. Complete drying is not possible.

Complete drying is not possible. Another disadvantage is that the soap dish itself becomes dirty and drops of water can fall onto the bathroom furniture when reaching for the soap.

Advantages of soap dishes with drip trays

Whereas with soap dishes that only have a draining grid, the soap water runs onto the edge of the washbasin, here it flows into a drip tray.

Disadvantages of soap dishes with drip trays

In practical use, you find that you have to empty and clean the drip tray very often. Like other soap dishes, this one also has the disadvantage of taking up space on the edge of the washbasin. In the shower, soap dishes with drip trays are not very suitable: the splashing water and wet hands when removing the soap cause the drip tray to fill up quickly. This solution also does not allow the soap to dry completely, as the soap needs to rest on the surface.
