Thread: Storage rack for creams and mugs

At CostPlus Worldmarket.com they sell stacking coffee mugs. These work well to rack up soaps and creams. They can be had online but I got mine at the store. I seem to remember a larger color selection was available live compared to the online store listed below.

For creams I use these 9oz Stacking mugs at $9.99. The creams go in the rack, mugs stay in the kitchen.

For mug soap, I use these Jumbo mugs at $14.99.

Beyond just keeping things neat on the counter top, the following are also huge benefits.

1-only the rack is on counter top; the creams and mugs are lifted about 1/4" off counter top. No water collects to dry up and maybe get dried crud under it. Wiping up under the twelve different soaps and creams I keep counter top is a snap.

2-My lather bowl dries out nicely inverted on the stack of creams, and scuttle on top of my mugs.

3-Very easy to grab the sleeve of creams, soaps and lather bowl in one motion, without being a juggler.

4-For the soap, since the mugs stack, you don't have the different soap smells permeating. Of my six mugs, the bottom five have pucks, the top one I keep a tub of Proraso and Castle Forbes. Although when I use soap, I will let the one used mug sit out the day to dry, stacking with the six mugs again after dry.

I took a label maker to the mugs to easily see what's what. The creams are easy to ID without a label; although if I had multiple racks of creams, I'd label those too, probably.

Regarding "the cream" rack, the wire rack has a division where the handles normally slide through. This makes it very easy to adjust the diameter as snug or loose as needed for your tubs.
