Intro:
Living in a shared apartment space can be tricky when it comes to upkeeping basic cleanliness.
This three-compartment rack helps solve an issue I had with my neighbors leaving their sponges/toothbrushes/soaps… everywhere, stuff sitting in drainage water and toothbrush kits getting misplaced daily.
Designed for easy printing, the easy to install solution needs two printed parts & a generous amount of adhesive tape or your preferred mounting solution. Its easy to clean & maintain, cheap to produce and based on observations so far (read below), works really well.
BOM:
| Item | # | Comment |
| Sponge Holder Rack (& cloth rag holster) | 1 | Rack to hold three separated sponges/dish soaps/toothbrushes/… It provides three independent drainage ducts, measured to exact dimension of most sinks (drips into sink). |
| Wall Mounting Plate | 1 | The holder rack securely snaps into place. Recommend using the mounting plate for easy cleaning of the rack. |
| Adhesive Tape | 1 | Use adhesives to mount to most surfaces. Ensure you measured twice before mounting. Adhesive/Fastener solution needs to handle at least 1kg (2kg for dish soaps) sustained load (likely on smooth ceramic tile), with water resistance. |
Usage Observations:
After using the solution since October 2022, I made these observations:
- this design successfully solves the initial problem:
- the sponges, shampoo, toothbrushes & dish soap are now neatly organized and conveniently drain into a sink instead of on a counter/floor…
- neighbors responded positively
- no additional training required
- rack design:
- needs cleaning once a month
- especially when in heavy use
- the design is easy to clean
- few sharp areas where gunk accumulates
- main accumulation in upper drainage channels
- no accumulation contacts stored items
- the drainage ducts work much better than expected
- no leaks + no post-processing: print & mount
- wall mount interlock feels secure even if all but two pegs break
- needs cleaning once a month
- when storing heavier loads (dish soaps, shampoo; eg. more than 2kg):
- need to provide additional support underneath, can fall off otherwise
- difficult to mount to smooth glossy bathroom ceramic tiles w/ eg. tape, glue
- need to provide additional support underneath, can fall off otherwise
