Holder and wringer for a sponge

US-7438271-B1

Abstract

A holder and wringer for a sponge, that includes a sheet of material holding the sponge and resting in a soap dish having a liquid soap dispenser thereon. The sheet of material is microwavable allowing sanitizing thereof and springy allowing squeezing thereof for wringing out the sponge held therein. The sheet of material is bent so as to have an N-shaped lateral cross section. A front wall and an intermediate wall define a V-shaped lateral cross section forming a cradle for holding the sponge, and when the front wall is pressed towards the intermediate wall, the sponge is squeezed therebetween and wrung out. The front wall and the intermediate wall meet at a fold having a pair of terminal ends. The fold is concave for directing drainage towards the terminal ends thereof to facilitate draining.
