How to Make Suction Cups Stick on a Stainless Steel Sink

Many kitchens are equipped with stainless steel sinks because stainless is easy to clean and hard to stain. If you have a sponge caddy with suction cups and you have tried repeatedly to get the pesky suction cups to stick to the side of your stainless steel sink, you may be aware that it can seem impossible. Fortunately, a fast remedy will allow you to store your sponges in your hanging sponge caddy. You can suction the sponge caddy's suction cups right to the side of your sink to reduce water dripping from the sponge all over your counter.
