Dish towel pinch holder thingy

September 13, 2011 7:06 AM

I've had this dish towel holder thingy stuck to my washing machine since forever. You slide the towel down into little slots and it holds them by pinching. It's plastic, has no moving parts, and it attached to the washing machine (or anything else) with some adhesive pads on the back. Are these available somewhere? Pic 1 Pic 2

Your pic links don't work, but I know what you're talking about and yes, I"ve seen them in lots of places -- hardware stores, Target, etc.

Don't know what they're called, really, and they may not be in every store you go to -- but you can realistically expect that if they're not in the first place you check, they should be in the second or third.

Oh, sorry! Thought you said paper towel holder. dawkins_7 has it, I think.

Wait, I think this might be more like it: towel grabber.

There's also things like this, which I had a way back. A bit snazzier.

Yeah, the "Towel Grabber" thing is what I was thinking, and it's what I"ve seen tons of places. (That particular brand, even.)

Yep, that should be easy to find in your average housewares store. Or, hell, try on Amazon if you're looking specifically for a multiple-one like that.

Response by poster: Yeah, looking for a multiple one as close to that one as possible.

Here's one with three slots, though it's shaped differently and it's silver instead of black.
