Abstract: Disclosed herein is a soap retriever preferably for use in a bathtub or shower environment comprising an elongate handle having a slot at one terminal portion of the handle for attachment on a hook on the wall, and a inverted U-shaped receptor area having a bottom platform and a closed back portion for picking up and carrying a bar of soap that has been dropped. The bottom platform is provided with ribs upstanding from the base and orifices between the ribs on the base member to provide drainage so that the soap can conceiveably be retained in this retrival device when not being used.
