A mum has shared how she used a $10 drying rack to create an extra dishwasher shelf for cooking utensils.

‘Got this for my sink however it also works great as an extra rack for the large utensils in the dishwasher, $10, thanks Kmart,’ Yvette wrote. 

The rack is coated with non-slip silicone to ensure it stays in place and it will not fall, slip or move during dishwashing cycles.  

‘I have one of these and it is great for extra drying space and rolls up, it’s so easy to store,’ a Kmart customer wrote.
