The Mr Sponge kitchen accessory is a nifty little french man that keeps your [kitchen sponge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrub-daddy-and-disney) out of your sink. Give your washing sponge a break after scrubbing dishes all day with the Mr Sponge holder. This elegant rack is designed to look like a tiny cartoon french man complete with a large mustache, a monocle and a top hat. Underneath the little man's head is a hook that you can slide any type of sponge into after you've finished washing the dishes. Keeping your sponge elevated and out of the sink is a great way to eliminate bacteria and let your sponge naturally dry.
