Kitchen Sink Strainer with Sponge Holder
From the same category
An expandable kitchen sink strainer is a suction-mounted draining and organising basket designed to collect food scraps, separate them from liquids and keep a sponge or small cleaning tool conveniently beside the sink.
The foldable, expandable design lets you keep the basket compact when only limited space is required or extend it for greater collection capacity. Drainage openings allow water to escape while retaining larger scraps, helping keep the sink area tidier and reducing the amount of food waste reaching the drain.
The problem: Food scraps may collect around the sink or reach the drain, while a wet sponge is often left loose on the worktop.
The solution: This basket provides a convenient place to collect scraps and drain liquids, along with space for a sponge. It can be folded or expanded according to the available space and amount being collected.
- Multi-purpose design combining a sink strainer and cleaning-accessory organiser.
- Expandable construction provides additional collection space when required.
- Folds into a narrower size to occupy less sink space.
- Bottom openings allow water to drain away from solid scraps.
- Suction mounting requires no drilling or screws.
- Side section can hold a sponge or lightweight cleaning accessory.
- Removable, washable and reusable.
- Colours shown include pink, grey and blue; the supplied colour depends on stock unless a selection option is displayed.
- Separating food scraps from liquids before disposal.
- Collecting vegetable peelings and small preparation waste.
- Keeping a washing-up sponge close to the sink.
- Draining small portions of rinsed fruit or vegetables.
- Organising lightweight cleaning accessories around the kitchen sink.
- Clean and dry the intended mounting area inside the sink.
- Choose a smooth, non-porous surface suitable for suction mounting.
- Press the suction cup firmly against the surface to remove trapped air.
- Attach the basket and check that it is stable.
- Use it folded for small amounts or expand it when more space is required.
- Dispose of collected scraps after drainage, then wash and dry the basket.
The strainer performs several useful tasks within a compact sink area: collecting scraps, draining water and organising a sponge. Its expandable design also lets you choose the required capacity instead of leaving a large basket inside the sink at all times.
Without the strainer: Scraps mix with water in the sink, food may reach the drain and the sponge can be left loose on the worktop.
With the strainer: Scraps remain in one place while water escapes through the drainage openings, and the sponge stays conveniently organised.
The matching product is constructed with a PP plastic body and TPR/PVC mounting components. These materials are suitable for everyday sink-side use, although product life depends on regular cleaning and avoiding excessive loads.
- Empty collected waste after each use to reduce odours and residue.

- Do not place heavy cookware or excessive weight inside the basket.
- Kitchen sinks with smooth internal surfaces.
- Collecting everyday food scraps and draining liquids.
- Small kitchens requiring efficient use of sink space.
- Holding a sponge and lightweight cleaning accessories.
- Users wanting a removable, washable and reusable solution.
- Rough or porous surfaces that cannot hold a suction cup.
- Highly curved sinks without a flat mounting point.
- Supporting heavy cookware or large quantities of food.
- Disposing of hot oil or extremely hot liquids.

What is an expandable kitchen sink strainer?
It is a compact basket mounted inside the sink to collect scraps and drain water. It can be folded or expanded according to the required capacity.
How is the strainer installed?
It mounts with a suction cup on a smooth, clean and dry sink surface, without drilling or screws.
What are its folded dimensions?
The folded dimensions are approximately 10.3 × 13.5 × 4 cm.
What are its expanded dimensions?
The expanded dimensions are approximately 15.5 × 13.5 × 8 cm, with a 7.7 cm hanging reach.
What can be stored in the narrow section?
It can hold a dishwashing sponge or a lightweight cleaning accessory, provided it is not overloaded.
Is the strainer washable?
Yes. Remove it, hand-wash it with water and mild detergent, allow it to dry and then remount it.
Does it completely prevent sink blockages?
It helps keep food scraps placed inside it away from the drain, but it does not replace a drain-hole filter or guarantee prevention of every blockage.
Will it attach to every kitchen sink?
No. Secure attachment requires a smooth, flat surface suitable for suction. Rough, porous or highly curved surfaces may not hold it reliably.
- Sink Drain Filter Mesh for collecting hair and smaller debris around the drain opening.
- Double-Ended Cleaning Brush for cleaning corners, edges and narrow areas around the sink.
- Double-Layer Cleaning Gloves for cleaning cookware and kitchen surfaces.
