We’ll be honest: it would be amazing if every college dorm room included a dishwasher. Washing dishes by hand can be a hassle, but for dorm life it is a necessary chore. Hand washing dishes in your dorm room is already a difficult task especially if you have to use your bathroom sink, but where are you supposed to dry them? Putting your dishes away while they’re still wet is a surefire way to get some gross, musty dishes, especially if you are using plastic dorm plates. You could hand-dry them individually, but this just extends the annoying chore of hand washing plates in your dorm. We recommend choosing a dish rack to air dry your dorm servingware and flatware to add a little bit of convenience to your routine.
However, when you’re looking for a dish rack for dorms, you may notice that a lot of them require tons of counter space. And if you know anything about dorm rooms, it is that they don’t have much counter space at all! What gives? We aren’t sure why dorm dish drying racks are always so bulky, but our Space Saving Dish Draining Rack with Utensil Holder is made to be a uniquely space efficient dish rack for your dorm kitchen setup. With space for 8 plates or bowls, plus a divided utensil draining caddy for your dorm forks and knives, this small space dish drying rack is perfect for tiny college dorm rooms!
