A holder and wringer for a sponge, that includes a sheet of material holding the sponge and resting in a soap dish having a liquid soap dispenser thereon. The sheet of material is microwavable allowing sanitizing thereof and springy allowing squeezing thereof for wringing out the sponge held therein. The sheet of material is bent so as to have an N-shaped lateral cross section. A front wall and an intermediate wall define a V-shaped lateral cross section forming a cradle for holding the sponge, and when the front wall is pressed towards the intermediate wall, the sponge is squeezed therebetween and wrung out. The front wall and the intermediate wall meet at a fold having a pair of terminal ends. The fold is concave for directing drainage towards the terminal ends thereof to facilitate draining.

The invention claimed is: 1. A holder and wringer for a sponge and resting in a soap dish having a liquid soap dispensers thereon, said wringer comprising a sheet of material; wherein said sheet of material is so configured for resting in the soap dish; wherein said sheet of material is so configured for holding the sponge; wherein said sheet of material is so configured for allowing wringing of the sponge once removed from the soap dish; wherein said sheet of material has a front wall; wherein said sheet of material has an intermediate wall; wherein said sheet of material has a rear wall; wherein said front wall has a tab; wherein said tab of said front wall facilitates pressing said front wall towards said intermediate wall; wherein said front wall has an uppermost edge; wherein said tab extends upwardly from said uppermost edge of said front wall; wherein said tab extends midway along said uppermost edge of said front wall; wherein said sheet of material is bent so as to have an N-shaped lateral cross section; wherein said sheet of material has a plurality of through slots; and wherein said plurality of through slots are for draining when the sponge is wrung out and; wherein said plurality of through slots extend through said front wall. 2. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said sheet of material is microwavable so as to allow sanitizing thereof. 3. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said sheet of material is a springy material so as to allow squeezing thereof for wringing out the sponge held therein. 4. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said sheet of material is flexible plastic. 5. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said front wall and said intermediate wall of said sheet of material define a V-shaped lateral cross section so as to form a cradle; and wherein said cradle is for holding said sponge, and when said front wall is pressed towards said intermediate wall, said sponge is squeezed therebetween and wrung out. 6. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said intermediate wall and said rear wall define an inverted V-shaped lateral cross section. 7. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said plurality of through slots in said front wall are vertically-oriented for directing the drainage downwardly. 8. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said front wall and said intermediate wall meet at a fold; and wherein said fold is for directing drainage. 9. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 8, wherein said fold has a pair of terminal ends; and wherein said fold is concave for directing drainage towards said terminal ends thereof to facilitate draining. 10. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 1, wherein said rear wall has attaching apparatus cooperating therewith; and wherein said attaching apparatus is for attaching said sheet of material to a vertical surface. 11. The holder and wringer as defined in claim 10, wherein said rear wall has a rearwardmost surface; and wherein said attaching apparatus is disposed on said rearwardmost surface of said rear wall.
