I found this cool sponge caddy years ago. The caddy hung over the sink; it hooked over the edge of the sink. I could only reposition it on the left and right sides\u00a0of the sick. The center wall dividing the double sink was too wide for the caddy to hook onto.<\/p>\n

Another problem to this caddy were\u00a0the tight corners. Food particles from the sponge would get stuck. It was very difficult to clean.<\/p>\n

I happened on a different caddy design. The mounting mechanism relied on suction cups. This however didn’t work on my sink. That was the only flaw. I tried ceramic magnets, but that wasn’t strong enough. I then tried rare earth neodymium magnets. That was the perfect type. I used Sugru<\/a> to affix the magnets to the caddy.<\/p>\n

I now have a movable sponge caddy\u00a0—\u00a0I can affix this to any wall of the sink.<\/p>\n

The sponge holder was around $6 from Target.
\nThe neodymium magnets was around $4 (1\/2″; 6-pack) from Home Depot.<\/p>\n
