Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This is where I really lack any defined organization. The sponges are yuck . I hate sponges but tolerate them. I have one for scrubbing the dishes that get washed in the dishwasher and one for actually handwashing. I have those little pampered chef scrubbers and then a scrubby brush for vegetable scrubbing. But any container I find for them makes them more gross, out and out mildewy so they get tossed.

I also have one hand soap dispenser and one Palmolive type diswashing soap dispenser on the sink too.

It's crowded!
So now they just lay around the top and it looks yucky! Any ideas...what do you guys do???

I have the PC kitchen brush and I use that for everything, then it goes in the dishwasher. I use the backside for scrubbing stoneware (it has the same kind of angles like the brown scrapers for the stoneware), and the scrub brush side is for veggies, handwashing, cleaning the plates, etc. I do have one small scotch scrubbing green thing, but I use that on my sink more, since it will scrub the scuff marks out, so that is my only thing "in" the sink. I have the brush behind the sink to use, but I would love to make those "fake drawers" in front of the sink into a storing drawer. It isnt' a full drawer, but pops out at an angle, so you can fit small things like sponges, brushes, etc.

Soap situation: I use the Suds Pump for my dishwashing detergent. My DH doesnt' like to wash his hands with that too (the pump he doesn't like) so I have a hand soap on there for him too. My other thought is to put soap in those pretty olive oil dispensers, just to make it look nice. That is next on my list.

LOL I didn't think I would have so much to say about the kitchen sink!
