While suction cup caddies are usually unreliable (they just slip and slide all over), this caddy gets a perfect score for durability and will seemingly hold up for a good amount of time, making it worth adding to your space. Did we mention it's made of rust-proof stainless steel and comes with a five-year warranty? And it’s not dishwasher safe, but it can still be hand-washed in minutes. We also appreciated the dishwasher-safe design that makes it a breeze to clean. Made of stainless steel, the caddy also looked seamless against the sink of the same material and blended in nicely with kitchen appliances. Because you'll be storing wet items in your sink caddy, look for features that will ensure adequate ventilation and drainage so that your dishwashing tools dry properly. Some sink caddies are perforated with holes at the bottom, allowing water to drain directly into the sink and air to circulate. Others have removable drip trays that collect excess water. These trays should be cleaned out regularly, so that bacteria does not collect.

This sleek-looking sink caddy attaches to the side of the sink via four suction cups and has a wire ledge hanger that rests on top of the sink, ensuring a secure grip. Unlike other sink caddies with suction cups that we tested, this one stayed put and didn’t slip or slide down. We also really appreciated the in-sink design that frees up countertop space and drains water directly into the sink. In general, small sink caddies may only accommodate a sponge or two, while larger caddies are often equipped with several compartments to store all of your dishwashing supplies. When choosing a sink caddy, consider all of the items you intend to keep onboard. Also, consider the size of your sink as well as the amount of counter space around it A modular design, like the one this sink caddy has, is convenient because it can accommodate many cleaning tools at once. This particular caddy, which we think is gorgeous, gets high marks for ease of cleaning and overall value. It comes as a set and includes a flat tray and a caddy. The caddy can sit on top of the tray to save space, or you can use them separately for optimal storage. We were able to store a bottle of detergent and a bottle of hand soap on the flat tray. And we think the stylish caddy provides enough space for approximately one sponge and two dish brushes. In addition to these flexible storage options, we like that the caddy features a plastic insert, which catches all dripping water. Compared to other sink caddies we tested, Full Circle’s has a more decorative appearance. We chose the gray caddy with white trim, and it made a stylish addition to the kitchen. This caddy can’t go in the dishwasher, but the smooth ceramic material is very easy to clean. Another thing to note: Because it is ceramic, it could break or chip if dropped onto the sink or floor. So, exercise caution! These caddies are usually made of a durable material, which is easy to clean and no suction is required. [Being two-sided], these caddies allow for more storage, but may not be great if you want to store taller items," explains pro organizer Williams about saddle-style caddies.

Sink Organising

Here's what you do: After emptying and rinsing the sink caddy (or taking it apart, as some models do), use warm, soapy water and a clean sponge or rag to clean it. Be sure not to use a different sponge than the one you regularly clean your dishes with. And that's it. To go the extra mile, use a solution of equal parts tap water and white vinegar and a small brush to really clean out the accumulated grime. The acid in vinegar can help kill mold and prevent future outbreaks. For some models, you can also throw the sink caddy straight into the dishwasher. Thanks to a sloped base, all water drained out of sight, too. Just be sure to position your bottles vertically so they don’t wobble. It's also key to note that this sink caddy can’t go in the dishwasher. But it easily dismantles, and you can wash those messy nooks and crannies with soap and water. The area under your sink is another often-used kitchen storage space, but it’s one that tends to get overlooked. Our selection of sink caddies and tidies come in an array of shapes and sizes to suit different needs. They’re available in a range of materials, including durable and easy to clean plastics to keep life simple. The latest in washing up bowl tech

See, when it comes to kitchen organization, we think a sink caddy can help prevent excess water from dripping onto the countertop and provide proper ventilation for your favorite sponge to dry between uses. Plus, it offers an efficient, clutter-free space for your dishwashing tools, so they won't get soggy while sitting out on the sink.If you have plenty of countertop space, you may want to store your cleaning tools outside of your sink. This countertop sink caddy, with its modern design, comes as a set and includes a sink organizer and a soap dispenser—the latter being what sets it apart. The dispenser doesn’t drip, which is a major plus, and fits perfectly in the sink organizer, creating a streamlined appearance. It can hold up to 6.7 fluid ounces of liquid soap. Plus, the caddy is narrow enough to fit on the strip of counter behind the sink, yet spacious enough to hold three sponges and a dish brush. A suction caddy is great if you prefer your dishwashing items to be hidden. They are usually more space-saving and a bit smaller, therefore you may not be able to store as much in contrast to the other options. These are usually made with more breathable designs which make them less prone to producing bacteria," says Williams. Keeping your sink clean and tidy, and making efficient use of your available kitchen storage space is easy with our fantastic selection of kitchen sink accessories. Of course, there’s no reason why you can’t use these items in other areas of your home too – in bathrooms and other sinks, like those in utility areas.
