A versatile kitchen sink caddy, constructed in stainless steel, easy-to-clean molded rubber, or ceramic, is great for containing sponges, dish clothes, scrubbers, and similar such items used at the sink, while its ventilated design means kitchen supplies are given the opportunity to drip-dry; ensuring cleaning tools are kept mildew-free.

Popular options in the series of sink caddies consist of –

• The Umbra Lattice Sink Caddy, with its stainless-steel construction, rubberized coating (protects sink from scratches), and easy clean design, is perfect to hang over-the-sink (either single or double) to keep sponges or dish clothes dry, and avoiding mildew in between washes. Size: 6-inch x 5-inch x 6-inch.

• The OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Sink Organizer, with its separate areas for long-handled brushes, palm brushes, sponges, pump dispensers, etc, perforated base (keeps tools dry), and drip tray, offers a stylish, compact caddy, which takes up limited counter space, due to its slim-line design. Size: 10.5-inch x 3.5-inch x 4.5-inch.

Besides the space-saving kitchen sink baskets, an over-the-sink shelf, constructed in chromed-steel, bamboo, or natural hardwood, offers a further solution to maintaining a well-organized kitchen, with space to hold cleaning supplies (soap, sponges, etc.), paper-towel holder, knife holder, cutting board, plants, and more.

All in all, kitchen caddies, with its ventilated, convenient positioning – either to hang over-the-side for a single sink or center-diver of a double-sink or attache via suction pads – serves as a magnificent sinkware storage solution for a wide variety of cleaning utensils, such as sponges, scrubbers and brushes when not in use.
