How do you store yours? I have my drying racks and all the clean stuff on my counter and i need them to go away, all the baby stuff everywhere is driving me mad! I need some of my house back! Arggg!!!
Mine are on the counter, too, but I'm nearing the end of my pumping days so those will go away soon. I have my pink hospital basin for soaking bottles as they get dirty throughout the day sitting in the sink and I dry them on a towel on the counter. Maybe I'll get another bucket to toss them into when they are dry and put them in my pots and pans drawer and grab them as needed.
Ha. I also use my pink basin from the hospital to soak bottles and parts for washing. But my counter is the same @wedbliss5 covered in parts and pieces. We have zero cabinet space left so I have everything on a little ledge over the sink where at least three parts fall off every time I try to hang/wash/dry a piece.
I keep mine in the fridge in a ziplock between feedings then at the end of the day they go into the dishwasher.

I have a countertop that sits next to the fridge and under the microwave, so it's not used too much. We store bottles and all pump related parts there.
We have a breadbox built within our cabinets that cleaned out and that's where I keep my drying rack when I wash the bottles and to store them to dry. I bought a decorative basket to put on top of the refrigerator and that's what we keep clean dry bottle and also the sterilizer.
Darn it I knew I should of grabbed my pink basin from the hospital too. My mom even told me are u sure u don't want to take this with. I might just have to go buy a little plastic bin with a lid.
