BRTNUP Cute Hanging Sponge Holder with Drainage (3D Printed, Yellow) for Kitchen Sink Organisation

The essentials

If you’re forever moving sponges around the kitchen sink area, this BRTNUP hanging sponge holder is aimed at making that small routine feel a bit tidier. It’s designed to sit over the sink edge rather than taking up counter space, with a cute smiley look that won’t suit everyone’s style—but on paper it does make a visible, useful job more pleasant.

The big idea here is drainage. The holder uses an open draining structure so water can flow into the sink instead of pooling in the sponge holder. That’s the kind of simple fix that can help reduce the “wet sponge” vibe you get after dishwashing, especially if your current setup traps moisture.

What makes it different in day-to-day use

The drainage and the raised, balanced legs are meant to improve airflow around the sponge. In practical terms, it should let a round sponge sit upright without squashing it, while water has somewhere sensible to go. You’re also meant to get faster drying because the holder isn’t designed to keep water lingering.

The curved cradle is specifically shaped to hold round sponges securely. If you use the standard type of round sponge, this will match the job it’s designed for. If your sponge is more unusual (odd shape or not round), it may not sit as comfortably.

A small but real benefit is positioning: because it hangs over the sink rim, you’re less likely to end up with a damp sponge “landing spot” on the worktop. For kitchens where the counter always feels tight, that can matter.

Hanging design with no installation

This is one of those products that’s refreshingly low-fuss. The holder rests on your kitchen sink edge and doesn’t require tools, drilling, suction cups, or adhesives. That means you can move it around if you change sink layouts or want it closer/farther from the tap.

That flexibility is helpful, but it also means fit depends on your sink edge being suitable. If your sink rim is narrow, oddly shaped, or the edge doesn’t support it well, the holder may not sit as stably as you’d like.

Materials and cleaning

The holder is made from moisture-resistant PLA material, and it’s presented as durable and easy to wash and maintain—even in humid environments. PLA is a common pick for 3D printed items, so the expectation is more “practical kitchen accessory” than industrial-grade equipment.

For cleaning, you can typically rinse it as part of your sink routine. Still, keep an eye on food and grease residue building up over time in any sponge area—nothing here is designed to be self-cleaning.

What’s worth checking before you buy

Before you commit, it’s worth thinking about three practical points. First, do you use round sponges? The cradle is built for that shape and is intended to hold them upright. Second, does your sink edge work for a hanging rest? This isn’t a strap-on or suction setup, so the sink rim has to do its bit. Third, are you after drainage more than just storage? The open draining structure is the core reason this works the way it does.

It’s also a case where looks may be subjective: the cheerful smiley design is the whole point of the “cute” angle. If your kitchen style is more minimal, you may find it visually distracting.

Is it worth it?

It’s a solid pick if you want a simple way to organise a round sponge over the sink edge, with drainage intended to help reduce moisture build-up and improve airflow for drying. If your current sponge holder leaves things damp or your counter gets cluttered, this tackles both issues with a straightforward hanging design.

You may want to skip it if your sponge type isn’t round, or if your sink rim doesn’t provide a stable resting point—because this needs the edge to support it. It also won’t suit you if you prefer neutral-looking accessories, given the playful smiley design.

Quick FAQ

Will it fit any sponge?

It’s designed to fit round sponges securely with a curved cradle, so it’s best matched to that sponge type. If your sponges are different shapes, it may not hold them as well.

Does it need installation?

No. It rests on the kitchen sink edge and doesn’t require tools, drilling, suction cups, or adhesives.

How does the drainage work?

The holder has an open draining structure meant to let water flow directly into the sink, rather than keeping water trapped around the sponge.

Is it easy to clean?

It’s described as moisture-resistant PLA and easy to wash and maintain in humid environments, so it should fit easily into normal sink cleaning routines.
