is there a nice way or a product to disguise the brightly vile coloured cleaning products and plastic bottles of fairy which are spoiling the lovely new sink/worktop...?

thankyou!

I dont have a new kitchen but mine go in the cupboard under the sink.

vannah · 01/09/2009 22:06

hmm, i thought about that , but i dont have a dishwasher so am washing up about 4 times a day - would rather leave it out somehow.

thankyou though...

I have a dishwasher so rarely use anything than a spray or cloth.

i have diswasher too, but have stuff on side, as not everything goes in. Understand your prob OP.

I have a low white rectangular ceramic dish from Habitat which takes the bottles and brush and looks pretty smart (I think!)

Thing to hang on side of sink or (less successful, I think) stand for cloth. And decant your washing up liquid into a prettier bottle.

Similar idea (though not sure what you do when you need to fill the sink with water .
One that only works if you have a double sink
Or how about this?

JackieNo · 01/09/2009 22:22

And one last one .

I can't believe somone would pay £10 for a stand for a dishcloth.

Keep anything unsightly in the breadbin.

First of all switch to something like Ecover - no vile colour and better for the environment they say. I decant mine into a recycled radox handwash bottle with dispenser - easy to pump liquid onto sponge.

A vase or pot?

vannah · 03/09/2009 21:26

thankyou for all the replies everyone, i forgot to tune in last night.
jackieno, thankyou so much for all the links - Im getting the small white sink caddy as it fits in the sink and will be (hopefully) camoflaged by my white sink.

paisleyleaf - thats actually a v good suggestion, saw some nice pots in the garden centre.
kreecher yes i keep bottles/dummies etc in the bread bin...

thanks again
