It's more work to keep clean and dry than it's worth in decluttering the sink. Even if it's vented, it doesn't work. A tip-out tray is the perfect place to accumulate water, mold, and scum.

The mold, the bacteria, the "unfreshness"! And I agree with the commenter who pointed out that sponges and toothbrushes are not clutter. They are accepted parts of kitchen/bathroom counter life.

There are ventilation holes drilled in the floor of the cabinet, too, in the toe-kick area.

Just slide them up and they come right out. I throw them in the dishwasher about once a week. The ones on my sink have keyhole style screw slots holding them to the fake drawer front.

If I can't find (or make one) that's vented that's not going to work. Wet in an enclosed, dark space is n'good. ^^^ I thought about that too, but I also thought (perhaps imagined) that the back of the drawer in the photo was vented?

I have enough trouble keeping sponges and the like clean and odor-free even when I let them dry out on the counter(where there is light and air circulation). I might use one for things like cleaning toothbrushes, cleaning gloves, or something like that, but not for my everyday sponge. Gail, that’s what I was thinking!

I cannot tell you how much the thought of putting a wet sponge (or toothbrush - even worse) in a dark cabinet makes me cringe. This seems like the perfect environment to grow bacteria and mold! If you have ever moved into a home and seen what grows on these things when they haven't been cleaned - a great science fair project to say the least! And for the record, I am not a clean freak/germ phobe :) Am I the only one who removes theirs?!?!

You either have to clean them regularly or ensure that everything that goes in them is clean and dry ("dry the toothbrush thoroughly"??!!) Would it not be better to accept that the kitchen and bathroom sinks will have a small number of important, frequently-used items permanently visible next to them, rather than spending your time doing unnecessary cleaning and drying? Items that are used often and are left out where they are most conveniently accessed are not a bad kind of clutter. It seems these tip-out trays just create extra work for you.

How do you dry a toothbrush thoroughly? Blow dryer? I don’t have time to be drying my toothbrush.

However, the little trays weren't there. I picked up a couple of skinny plastic silverware trays from the dollar store, a few washers and screws, and tah dah! Cheap tip-out trays.
