A slim sink organiser for a small bench

Before anything else: the Gleam & Go Mini needs 8 cm by 8 cm of clear bench and stands 22 cm tall. If you've got that much space next to the tap, it fits.

A small bench still needs somewhere for four things to go

A narrow kitchen bench still needs a place for hand soap, dish detergent and something to scrub with, exactly like a bigger kitchen does. It just doesn't have the room to spare. Two bottles and a brush end up crowded against the tap, or shuffled into the cupboard under the sink and back out again every time you cook.

Most sink caddies are built for a kitchen with a metre of bench going spare. On a galley layout or a narrow strip beside the sink, the wide ones just push everything else into the basin. What's needed is something sized to the gap you've actually got, not the kitchen in the display photo.

Why Cool Frank exists

Sian and Bec started Cool Frank on a Brisbane bench with barely enough room for a chopping board. They needed hand soap, dish detergent and a brush within reach, without any of it spreading across the bench. Nothing on the market solved that without turning into clutter, so they worked with the Clandestine Design Group on something drawn to a strict footprint from the first sketch — no wasted width, no wasted depth. The footprint hasn't changed since.

How it fits a narrow bench

8 cm is the whole commitment

The Gleam & Go Mini holds a hand soap bottle and a detergent bottle on one shared base, 8 cm by 8 cm and 22 cm tall. That's the entire footprint, wherever you put it — narrow enough for a galley bench or a shared island edge, where every centimetre already has a job.

If the bench can spare a little more

The Drip Deck holds the same bottles plus a brush, cloth and sponge, at 29 cm by 9 cm by 23 cm, for a bench that can spare a bit more width.

What people with a small bench say

"I bought 1 for my kitchen, 1 for our caravan. Love how it's slim and compact"

— Anita S., Drip Deck

"Having a half galley and half island bench, it was tough to figure out where to put my dishwashing detergent. I have a great shelf but I needed something slim to fit on my shelf and keep these off my bench. They are just perfect."

— Geraldine M.

"It's narrow enough to fit in to the small spaces and so far the pump works well."

— Louise F.

The Gleam & Go Mini's sink-side sibling, the Drip Deck, carries an International Good Design Award, 2022 — judged on the design, not on how little bench it needs. What these three reviews prove is simpler: it actually fits where the wider caddies don't.

The Gleam & Go Mini

Two bottles on one slim base, refillable with whatever hand soap and dish detergent you already buy. It leads this page because it's the one built for a bench with the least room to give. For a bench that can take a bit more, the Drip Deck adds a brush, cloth and sponge. And when a brush head or sponge wears out, the Clean Team Reload keeps replacements arriving on schedule.

Straight answers

How much bench space does the Gleam & Go Mini actually need?

8 cm by 8 cm, standing 22 cm tall. That's the whole footprint, so measure the spot before you order rather than guessing from a photo.

Will it fit a galley kitchen or a really narrow bench?

Yes. It was drawn to a strict footprint from the first sketch, not scaled down from a bigger caddy. If you've got 8 cm clear, it sits flush.

Can I use my own soap and detergent brands?

Yes, any brand you already buy. The bottles arrive empty so you fill them yourself, with no lock-in to one refill line.

What if I need room for a brush and cloth too?

The Drip Deck holds the bottles, a brush, a cloth and a sponge, at 29 cm by 9 cm by 23 cm. Worth a look if your bench can spare the extra width.

What if my bench is narrower than 8 cm?

Then it won't sit flat. Measure first — there's no smaller version yet.

• A sink organiser that's the perfect size for the caravan — the identical footprint, doing the same job on a caravan bench.
• Somewhere to hang the dish cloth to dry — solves the next thing crowding a narrow bench once the bottles are sorted.
