simplehuman Slim Sink Caddy Sponge Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel, Silver

Here is a life hack for suction cup problems that will work on this caddy and also for any suction cups stick to mirrors or glass. I learned it last year after searching the internet because I LOVED this "simple human brushed sink caddy" Simplehuman Sink Caddy, Brushed Stainless Steel but it no longer would stay up. This is a larger caddy that looks great so I was determined to find a solution. When I found the hack I was dubious for a couple of reasons, but those concerns faded. Here's the hack > Take just the smallest dab of any Vaseline type product on your fingertip and simply rub a very thin film of it over the suction cup before adhering to surface. The suction cup can be moist when you do this or bone dry. Both work. Here were some things that came to mind when I first read about it. 1. I was pretty sure I have not had any Vaseline in my home for, well, decades (kind of sad to say - doh). The original hack I read stated only Vaseline so I figured I was dead in the water because I am too lazy to have gone out to get some to try this. Then I read a comment from someone that said 'any lube will work'. Sadly, I don't have any of that either but it did get me thinking that I should take a peek under the bathroom sink and in the drawers. It was there that I found some CVS advanced healing ointment that's like aquphor, which is greasy. It solved the issue instantly! I immediately remembered this magnification mirror my wife has with a suction cup in the bathroom that keeps falling off and while I had some lube on my finger I did it to her little mirror as well. Instantly I could tell it was not going anywhere and in fact it has been sucking for almost 3 months now. 2. I thought it would be a greasy mess that was more trouble than it was worth. It turns out that it is not ANY hassle at all. One simple application of something greasy will permanently solve the issue. Meaning, if you never needed to remove the suction cup it will stay affixed for a lifetime. And when I did remove the caddy to run through the dishwasher it went right back to sucking with a dab of goo. The mirror in the bathroom has never been removed since that first application of grease because it adhered air tight so cleaning around it is all that is needed. It's like anything else that's permanently mounted now. It handles normal touching and adjusting of the mirror with no problem. This is a little mirror that I could make fall off the mirror just be staring at it! If the star took too long I could blow it across the room in a second. The little mirror fell literally every day for months. My wife and I began to joke about it that the other should fix it which turned into a test of wills. We would both replace it to the mirror when we saw it down, but never speak of it. You have to know us, but this was all in good fun. Anyways, the point is that since putting the ointment on the suction cup it has performed exactly like it is glued on there - but it's not - which is good! 3. I figured that if it did keep it from falling it would just slide around. From what I remembered, Vaseline + friction made things move better. As it turns out, there is ZERO sliding around of the suction cups on the surfaces. Maybe it is because there are several points of stability that took over for the suction cups so those elements are doing fine in stopping the caddy from sliding right/left whenever touched. Perhaps it is because of whatever physics or chemistry that is involved in the Vaseline making the suction cups adhere. The only thing I care about is that it is an amazing hack and it turns out there are no real drawbacks in practice. It's time for a call to action, people! Go fix your caddy & every other suction cup in your life!! Then we must spread the word! This malady can't be allowed to survive past the 21st century!! This conspiracy CAN be halted with your help! For the sake of all our grand kids and their future sink caddy dreams, you must grab the ointment!

Perfect for my sink and space. It looks great. It keeps my dish brush and my dish sponge with the handle out of the way and convenient for when I need them. They used to just sit in the corner down inside the sink and food and water, etc. would get all under them and the brush would get messed up from sitting there. The sponge head would get gross and wear out faster. Now I have this neat little caddy that actually holds both of my handled tools and also a couple of regular dish sponges. The holder for the dish brush is actually big enough to hold both my dish brush and dish sponge with handles. It has an extended bottom and they both sit down in there just fine. It keeps them out of the dirty water, etc. when they don't need to be and allows them to dry thoroughly in between uses. This has 4 good quality suction cups, which I applied a little Vaseline type ointment to, and also gave my sink a good cleaning before installing it, and they are sticking just fine...I've tested and tugged at it and that thing is not coming down! I like this one much better than all the other ones out there that I've seen because it looks great, and Simple Human is good quality, and the holder for the dish brush is not just a hole like most of the other caddies where the handle just goes all the way thru and sits on the bottom of the sink. It holds the dish brush completely inside the caddy and actually big enough for two with fat handles! I love my Simple Human caddy! It was the perfect choice for my kitchen! Just to note, I have a large and deep stainless steel sink and I installed it right at the top just under where the counter sticks out. It holds there just fine with the metal support thing that extends onto the counter. The counter is not flush with the sink and it still fits and sits there just fine. Thanks Simple Human for a great product. I have one of their kitchen trash cans, too! You can't go wrong with Simple Human!

I installed an under-mount kitchen sink as part of a kitchen remodel. I purchased this holder for a couple of sponges. This works really well. It keeps the sponges dry (draining) and out of the way.

Everything about this sink caddy is great — the brushed stainless steel looks sleek, it holds sponges and brushes neatly, and it feels sturdy. The only drawback is that it’s very difficult to clean, which is why I’ve taken one star off. Otherwise, it’s a well-designed and useful kitchen accessory

Excellent quality and great solution for any kitchen short on space, or just doesn’t want clutter on the work tops. Fits exactly the way if’s Supposed to and Blends in well with a regular stainless steel sink

買い物かごに入れながらも、正直スポンジ受けに4000近く払うなんて、ぜいたくだな、と思っていました。 えっと、すみませんでした。 さすが、お値段のことはあります。すばらしいです。 購入して約1週間なので、耐久性はまだまだ未知数ですが、いまのところ、「びくとも」しません。 セットしたところから動きません。 それでいて、外したいときにはすっと外れます（1回興味本位で外してみました） スポンジ二個入れてますが、見た目がほんとにスマート。 もともとビルトインだったんかな、これってくらい、うちのキッチンシンクに同化してくれています。 安物何回か買って、金ドブに捨てるくらいなら、最初から高価なものをひとつ買ったほうが賢いですね。

Très pratique

Simple human is expensive but the design and quality really top notch. Nothing to complaint, polished alum looks great, easy to clean, 4 suction caps with sufficient clearance ensures item is fixed to perfection

Caben perfecto los cepillos, y me gustó que trae dos compartimentos para las esponjas. Es de muy buena calidad, esta marca me gusta mucho.
