I don’t like to leave sponges, dish rags, or brushes out on my sink so I knew there had to be a way to store these cleaning tools out of sight. I have a skinny drawer next to my sink and not much will fit in there. So I went to the dollar store and bought a plastic placemat and cut it to fit inside that drawer. Now I have somewhere to store these things so they aren’t junking up my counter space or left in the sink. The plastic plaecemat is great when the brush or sponge is still a little damp when I put them in the drawer. It keeps moisture from ruining the wood. If you don’t have an empty drawer, just get a basket, old tupperware dish, or even an empty baby wipe container to put under your sink.
