Tupperware and similar - taking over the house

DS is a couple of months into solid food, and as meals and other bits are rarely finished in one go, we use a lot of Tupperware and other plastic pots for storage. Most are dishwasher friendly, but when we take it out of the dishwasher it's always still wet, so it goes into the rack on the draining board and sits there until the end of time one of us has time and inclination to dry it up and put it away. While it's sitting there it looks untidy and really gets my goat...plus the fact while it's lying there torturing me it's a sitting target for drips and stray splashes from the tap (so rarely fully dries naturally).

I'm aware that this will seem a trivial issue to some, but does anyone have any hints or tips?

TIA

I do this! If I've got a few things I stack them inside each other and stick on the radiator for an hour when it's on to properly dry them

Take out of dishwasher, dry it and put it away

Um, a tea towel? I dry anything still damp so everything gets put away.

@Gorbie - thanks. That's genius! Will give it a go.

To those who have suggested drying the plastic bits up with a tea towel - sorry, I should have specified that I was after a tip or hack to avoid having to do that. I find that the water gets trapped in all the annoying nooks and crannies so takes ages and is fiddly to get to with a tea towel. But thank you anyway!
