simplehuman Slim Sink Caddy Sponge Holder, Brushed Stainless
$19.99
Product Overview
The simplehuman Slim Sink Caddy Sponge Holder is a thoughtfully engineered kitchen essential designed to keep your sink area organized, clean, and functional. Crafted from durable brushed stainless steel in a sleek silver finish, this caddy offers a modern solution for storing sponges and small dishwashing tools directly within the sink. Its slim, space-saving profile ensures it fits comfortably without encroaching on valuable sink workspace, making it ideal for compact kitchens or anyone seeking to reduce counter clutter. By keeping sponges out of the sink basin and elevated above standing water, the caddy promotes better hygiene by encouraging faster drying—helping minimize bacterial growth and unpleasant odors over time.
More than just a storage accessory, this caddy blends practical innovation with a minimalist aesthetic. Whether you’re washing dishes after a family meal or tackling daily cleanup, its secure mounting system and intelligent design support a smoother, more hygienic routine. The combination of high-quality materials and user-centered engineering makes it a reliable, long-lasting addition to any well-organized kitchen. Users consistently note its polished appearance, sturdy construction, and ease of use, making it a favorite among those who value both form and function in their kitchen tools.
Key Features
- Secure Non-Slip Grip: The caddy features four powerful suction cups combined with a wire ledge hanger, ensuring a firm, stable hold on smooth sink surfaces such as glass, tile, or enamel. This dual anchoring system prevents slipping or tipping—even when used with wet hands or when carrying heavier items like scrub brushes or soap dispensers.
- Enhanced Airflow Design: With an elevated sponge compartment and multiple venting holes at the base, the caddy maximizes air circulation beneath the sponge. This design significantly accelerates drying time, which helps reduce moisture buildup and supports healthier, longer-lasting sponges by minimizing bacteria and odor development.
- Space-Saving Profile: The slim construction allows the caddy to sit flush against the sink rim or edge, keeping sponges neatly stored inside the sink rather than taking up precious countertop space. This not only reduces visual clutter but also creates more room for food prep and other kitchen activities.
- Durable Brushed Stainless Steel Build: Made from premium brushed stainless steel, the caddy resists rust, corrosion, and everyday wear from water exposure and cleaning products. The silver finish complements modern kitchen aesthetics while remaining easy to wipe down and maintain.

Benefits & Use Cases
This sink caddy is especially beneficial for households that prioritize cleanliness, efficiency, and hygiene in their kitchen routines. It’s particularly useful in homes where minimizing bacterial buildup is important—such as families with young children, individuals with sensitive noses, or anyone looking to extend the life of their sponges. By keeping sponges above standing water and promoting rapid airflow, the caddy helps prevent the damp environment that fosters mold and unpleasant smells.
Users appreciate how seamlessly the caddy integrates into modern sink setups. Its compact size makes it suitable for standard double-basin sinks, though fit may vary depending on sink depth and material. Many customers report satisfaction with both its appearance and performance, noting that it looks stylish, stays securely in place once installed, and keeps sponges accessible yet out of the way.
In addition to sponges, the caddy can accommodate dish brushes, soap dispensers, scrub pads, and other small cleaning tools. Its versatile layout maintains a tidy look while supporting practical storage needs. The ability to dry contents quickly not only improves hygiene but also reduces the frequency of sponge replacements, offering long-term value.
Customer feedback highlights several standout aspects: some users praise how easy it is to clean, while others comment on differences in grip strength depending on sink material. Overall, opinions remain positive, with many describing the caddy as well-designed, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.
Important Notes
- The caddy must be mounted on a smooth, non-porous surface—such as glass, ceramic tile, or enamel—for optimal suction performance. Rough or porous textures may reduce grip effectiveness.
- For best results, ensure the mounting surface is clean and completely dry before applying the suction cups. Residue, grease, or moisture can compromise adhesion.
- The product is intended for indoor kitchen use only. Exposure to outdoor elements or harsh cleaning chemicals may affect performance or durability over time.
- Package includes one slim sink caddy with four suction cups and a wire ledge hanger component.
- While most users find the stickiness and size effective for their needs, individual experiences may vary slightly. Some note differences in suction strength based on sink type, and a few mention minor concerns about size fit in very narrow sinks.

The BEST sink caddy
This is my second time repurchasing this and my last one lasted over 8 years! We probably could have gotten a little more use out of it but we wanted a refresh. It fits nice and discreetly on the side of the sink and sits inside where it holds 2 sponger and a dish brush. The stainless steel blends in with other appliances in our kitchen. It is hard to find an aesthetic sink caddy that is sturdy and well made and that also holds a dish brush. That is why this is the perfect one. It is also really easy to clean!

If your cups won’t suck, read this review â
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!

How I made it stick
An earlier writer wrote that putting Vaseline (which is oil-based) on each of the four suction cups made them hold onto the sink “like glue.” Not having any Vaseline handy, I put on healthy globs of a water-based gel with about the same goopiness (“viscosity”) and that worked likewise. The caddy is now held to the (slightly inward-sloping but flat) side of the ceramic sink as if by a strong glue and feels very snug, tight and fast. I’d guess this is mostly because the goop makes a truly airtight seal, so, when the cups get tugged on (by weight or whatever), the pressure of the airless goop inside drops and the hold gets even tighter. So far it has held rock-steady for about two months.The bracket (which indeed can easily be taken off and has two height settings) does seem to bear some of the weight, but I’d say much less than half. I think it might also be there to take the brunt of downward jolts.The caddy holds a heavy bottle of dish soap along with a long brush and Scotch-brite pad with ease and truly tidies up the sink area. Given it’s in a big, full-sized sink, there’s still no lack of room for washing and such, though with smaller sinks the caddy could take up enough that it might not be so worthwhile to some.I took out the (sturdy) plastic insert, so as to fit the dish soap.Housing seems to to be true stainless steel throughout, looks very good, drains into the sink, seems like a thoughtful build to me and does the job.So, given a big sink and household goop in the cups, I’m giving this five stars, keeping in mind that without the goop trick, I’d more than likely have sent it back to Amazon straight off and with short shrift.

Best solution I’ve tried yet
I have way too many brushes and sponges in my kitchen and needed a solution to eliminate water and mess on the counter. I’ve tried any number of suction anchored holders and they ALWAYS come off. Having the metal hook to reinforce it really does help, but be warned, if your sink is not flush with the counter, it won’t work at all. Fortunately, I have a double sink and was able to put it on the center upright, which may be better anyway because the things drip into the sink instead of onto the counter.

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

To be honest this item is a little pricey because of the SimpleHuman name attached to it. I was not really impressed when I received it because it was missing a suction cup but Amazon ended up giving me a 50% discount because of the missing suction cup. Thatâs when I decided to keep it. I will say, set price aside, it is well made, large enough to hold two items and looks really nice in your sink.
