Limited counter space- Dish racks.
I wash dishes, I enjoy it. I rather do that than a dishwasher.
I have a dish rack on counter, hate it, want it gone to avoid the clutter.
what else could I use to avoid that?
I need an over the sink one, a small one but cant seem to find it, ANYWHERE.

Re: Limited counter space- Dish racks.
Good question, I want an answer too because I like handwashing my dishes (I don't think a dishwasher does as good of a job plus its kind of a 'zen' time for me :)
I also HATE how dish racks look on counters

Re: Limited counter space- Dish racks.
Bed bath has those drying mats, you can roll it up and put it away when you are done
You may be better off drying the dishes w a towel and putting them away immediately , lot of work tho!

or if you have a dishwasher, just put the hand-washed dishes to dry in there

This what I've always done. I use those microfiber mats from BBB or hand dry and put everything away quickly. Now I have a very small rack for DD's sippy cups.

Re: Limited counter space- Dish racks.
I have a collapsable one from I think BBB or maybe target. It is small and you can even overhang it in the sink. I use it then close it and under the sink it goes.
ETA: this is the one I have
dish rack

Re: Limited counter space- Dish racks.
I never had a dish rack. I put everything on a dish towel and either dry it right away or put it away when it's dry. I like having the extra counter space.

If you can find it on the HD website, just do free ship to store and pick it up.

Re: Limited counter space- Dish racks.
My dishwasher died and I have yet to replace it.
I wash the dishes by hand then lay them on a thick dish towel on the counter. If I don't dry them right away and put them away, I leave them there overnight and put away in the morning.
It's kind of easier - I hate the constant bending down to put stuff in/get stuff out of the dishwasher.

Re: Limited counter space- Dish racks.
I have a dishwasher but I still wash a lot by hand.
I have a dishrack that sits in my sink. It is very similar to this one from Bed Bath & Beyond. Except mine has a metal utensil holder. I'm not sure why this one doesn't come with one!
