Kitchen aesthetics: how to properly store a dishwashing sponge

In every kitchen, even the most stylish and beautiful, there are items that lack any aesthetics, for example, a trash can, spices in factory packages, and, of course, dishwashing sponges. Due to the fact that the latter are used regularly and must dry well, they are most often left near the sink, causing significant damage to the appearance of their kitchen. But there is also a solution - there are many interesting ways to keep sponges neat and beautiful.

How to store a dish washing sponge in the kitchen

Reusable sponges will be completely invisible in a properly organized kitchen, so it is important to pay attention to choosing the most convenient storage method.

Cabinet or wardrobe

Hiding a sponge in a cabinet is a way to completely remove this cleanliness tool from sight, but it is not suitable for everyone. The main disadvantage is the need to open and close the drawer every time to wash dirty dishes, and this can be inconvenient for those who devote a lot of time to cooking. For those housewives who appear in the kitchen at a certain time or infrequently, this option will be quite acceptable. An important nuance: before sending the sponge to the shelf, it must be thoroughly squeezed out.

For convenience, you can select a plastic tray, in which you can place all the tools and detergents, and take it out of the box as a whole if necessary, or use hanging accessories that are attached inside the cabinet.

Hinged shelves can be placed on the doors under the sink

You can take care of the place for the sponges even at the stage of ordering the kitchen

Special organizers

If it is inconvenient to hide the dishwashing accessories every time, you can use special organizers that will help to make open storage on the sink more aesthetic. They are available in different types:

• hanging pockets for a tap - small in size, intended only for sponges and rags, do not put a bottle of detergent there;

  

  Hanging pockets are convenient for placing dish sponges

• combined - represented by a container for a detergent in which there are "pockets" for sponges and brushes;

  

  A special organizer will help not only find a place for the sponge, but also get rid of the branded bottle of detergent

• on suction cups - they can be placed both on the tile and inside the sink, so that the water from the sponge flows directly into the drain;

  

  Suction cup sponge holder can be placed directly in the sink

• faucet-mounted stands are small shelves resembling soap dishes that are attached to a round faucet and can be installed in different directions for convenience.

  

  Fixed supports can also be fixed to the mixer

Beautiful stand

The sponge will look much nicer if it is not just lying on the sink, but neatly located in its own stand. Most often, they are produced in the form of painted baths - such a capacity may well become a pleasant addition to the existing interior. It is important - the bath must be washed regularly so that the water from the sponge does not stagnate in it.

The sponge tray is not just a stand, it is a bright piece of kitchen interior

Wall shelf

Another option is to use a shelf that sits on the wall. This is quite convenient, but this method will not mask the sponge. In addition, it is important to consider how well the kitchen itself is made - if there are cracks under the wall, then water will flow right behind the furniture.

Clean tool shelves can be wall-mounted

You can either completely remove the dishwashing sponge from your eyes, hiding it in the cabinet, or purchase a special device for convenient storage. There are tons of options here: hanging pockets, shelves with suction cups, wall shelves, baths, etc.
