A rotating soap wall arm keeps solid soap clean, dry and mess-free. Because the bar remains suspended in the air rather than sitting in a dish, water drains away and the soap dries naturally between uses. In everyday household use a single soap can deliver around 800 hand washes before replacement is needed.

Brushed steel offers a quieter alternative to polished chrome. The satin finish works particularly well with stainless sinks, brushed taps and contemporary fittings where a softer metallic surface is preferred.

The rotating holder design has been used in French schools and workshops for decades because it is hygienic, durable and economical.

Each brushed steel wall arm is supplied with raw plugs, matching screws and a fragranced soap ready for installation.


  • The Iconic Rotating Soap Wall Arm

    The rotating soap wall arm most people recognise today was designed by Provendi in the 1950s with a simple brief: to have a soap that is always dry and close at hand.

    Originally developed for French schools, the design kept soap hygienic, secure and always available for use throughout the day.

  • Where Rotating Soap Wall Arms Are Used

    Rotating soap wall arms were originally developed for French schools, where large numbers of children needed reliable access to soap throughout the day. The simple design kept the soap secure, hygienic and always available for use.

    Today the same practical holder is widely used beside kitchen sinks, in workshops, garden sheds and utility rooms, as well as in gastro-pubs, bistros and cafés where a durable, mess-free soap solution is needed behind the sink.

    We also supply rotating soap holders to primary schools in the UK, where the design remains valued for the same reasons it was adopted decades ago: reliability, hygiene and simplicity.

  • Simple Installation, Standard Fixings

    Each rotating soap wall arm is supplied with a mounted soap bar and colour-matched screws with raw plugs for fixing directly to the wall.

    Once installed, the arm remains in place and the soap is simply replaced when the bar is finished.

    Compatible rotating soaps from several French producers fit the same stainless steel stem.

    French Soaps UK also stocks replacement soaps and spare parts for the Provendi arms.
