If your plastic shower caddy has removable suction cups you may be able to pop it straight into the dishwasher. We’ve got a simplehuman one that fits into the corner of the shower. It’s got springs that keep it in place. Expensive but amazing.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user GreyStreet) The ShowerGem caddy uses a strong adhesive to attach it to the wall. The clever angled shelf design holds large bottles up to a litre in size and because it's tilted, it makes it easier to get those last few drops of product from the bottles, meaning less waste. If you’re a large family, using lots of different products, you’re probably going to need one of the larger caddies with separate baskets. If you’re looking at storage for more than one shower, you may wish to consider buying a few budget caddies, so you can distribute them across different bathrooms. Durability Gone are the days of having to drill holes in your bathroom wall to attach your shower caddy securely. There are a number of different ways organisers can be mounted to the wall without causing permanent damage:
Whilst most users loved that it attached securely and easily to the wall, some did feel that the price was rather high for the quality of the plastic used. Pros The caddy comprises two shelves and has five additional hooks, giving you a lot of storage space for your money. Pros While admittedly not the most exciting things in the world, shower caddies are an important part of your bathroom because they offer a practical, convenient way to store all your daily essential items such as shampoos, shower gels and scrunchies. But with so many options out there, it can often be difficult to decide exactly which option is best suited to your requirements. A good range of choices Whilst most reviewers found the shower caddy remained securely attached to the wall, some did note that it did have a tendency to fall. The caddy won’t work on matte tiles or porous surfaces such as limestone too, so do bear this in mind before purchasing. Pros Ease of installation depends on which type of caddy you're planning to fit, as there are a few different options. Freestanding shower caddies, for example, are much easier to fit than those that need to be mounted to the wall or floor in some way.
The caddy is made from stainless steel which will help prevent rust and it also comes with a one-year warranty if you do experience any problems.
The shower caddy comes with additional silicone pieces to hold it in place. One reviewer did note that the pieces needed to be ran under hot water prior to attaching to help secure the caddy, but once up it should remain in place. Pros Hanging caddy: A hanging shower caddy is a doddle to fit; all you need to do with most hanging shower baskets is simply place the attachments at the top, over your shower screen, and you're good to go. You might see them referred to as an over the door shower caddy due to this. There’s no sure-fire way to guarantee your caddy won’t succumb to rust after it’s been up a while, but keeping it away from the stream of water from the shower will certainly help. Plastic shower caddies obviously won’t rust, but you will need to clean them regularly. How do you clean a plastic shower caddy?Freestanding caddy:A free standing shower caddy, as the name suggests, simply stands on the floor of your bathroom or shower. They are usually a good choice for smaller bathrooms where space is more restricted, as they can simply be placed in the corner of the room. The basket is made from stainless steel and comes with an impressive five-year rust-resistant guarantee. The basket is nice and deep too, ensuring plenty of storage space for bottles. This option is excellent value for money too – it has two storage shelves included which are ideal for keeping everything looking neat and tidy. Pros There’s plenty of storage with the caddy’s three-tier shelves which are made from corrosive resistant materials, so it shouldn’t rust, but if there are any issues you’re covered with a five-year guarantee. Pros
Tension pole: This is simply a pole that wedges between the ceiling and the floor of the shower. They are adjustable so will fit most rooms, are a doddle to assemble and are a great option if your shower is over the bath rather than in a separate cubicle. They are an expensive option, however. If it’s mounted via adhesive or suction cups, you’ll need to make sure that the surface is compatible. Also, consider who is going to be using the caddy. If you’re storing toiletries for younger members of the family they’ll need to be able to reach it too. How do you keep a shower caddy from falling?The most important thing when attaching or hanging your shower caddy is to make sure it isn’t directly under the stream of water from your shower. All of the shower caddies we’ve recommended are made from rust-resistant materials. Resistant is the key word here though, as any item subjected to prolonged periods of time under a stream of water may succumb to some damage eventually. Stainless steel is particularly hard-wearing whilst plastic caddies are also a great choice as they are particularly easy to clean.
