Who likes dish washing?
(I hope you didn't say yes... 'cuz then you don't really belong on this page. SHOO! This is Home of the Hopeless Housekeeper, not the Hopelessly Good at Housekeeping!)
So yeah, I very much DON'T like dishwashing. But here are some fantastic products I came across that actually make the unavoidable chore easier and more pleasant.
Yamazaki Home Two-Tier Adjustable Dish Drainer with Draining Spout
Transform dish drying with this modern, convenient rack.
- It's Gorgeous! - the modern design that will look beautiful on your counter.
- Large Capacity, Small Footprint - the drainer is only 8" wide and 16" long, so it fits neatly along the edge of your sink. But the two full layers mean there's space for plenty of dishes.
- Drain Excess Water - in standard dish drainers, the water either drips onto your counter or pools at the bottom of a tray, getting stinky. This piece has an integrated spout that directs all the collected water straight into the skink. Can’t keep the dish rack right near the sink all the time? Rotate the spout inwards and hold the water underneath the rack until you’re ready to empty it. That means you can dry the dishes almost anywhere, freeing up counter space.
- Non Scratch & Non Slip - 4 cushioning pads at the bottom keep it in one place and keep your surfaces damage-free.
- Convenient Detachable Hooks - 3 metal hooks attach anywhere on the side to hold peelers, bottle brushes and more.
Kitchen Sink Saver
One of the worst parts of dishwashing? Emptying the gook from the drain strainer when you're done. Feh.
Sink Saver to the rescue!
These little elastic-edged mesh bags slip securely over the strainer and catch every bit of icky stuff you rinse off the dishes. Once you're don't simply remove the mesh bag and dump the entire thing in the trash can.

Keep things organized without losing counter space!
Think nifty little rack has several functions:

Stanley Home Goods Kitchen Scourers
