A device to prevent a sink sprayer hose from becoming caught on under sink plumbing, such as shut-off valves, is herein described. The device comprises a semi-circular shield and a hinged retaining mechanism mounted to an underside of a kitchen sink around shut-off valves and adjacent to the sink sprayer hose. It is held in place to the wall or cabinet surface via a foam adhesive tape. The sprayer hose rests against it, thus preventing it from becoming caught on the shutoff valve as it is withdrawn. This allows for full withdrawal of the hose and elimination of the aggravation that occurs when the hose becomes caught on the valve/piping that is present.

The device of claim 1, wherein said retainer further comprises at least two mounting posts protruding from said lower surface; and, said mount further comprises at least two mounting apertures for removably receiving said mounting posts. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein each of said mounting apertures further comprises a keyhole aperture having a larger diameter upper section and a smaller diameter lower section; wherein each of said mounting posts comprise a shaft and a head; and,wherein said head is suitably sized to fit within said keyhole aperture upper section and said shaft is suitably sized to fit within said keyhole aperture lower section. 4. The device of claim 3, wherein said shaft is slightly longer than a thickness of said mount, such that said head contacts said mount lower surface. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein said mount further comprises a plurality of adhesive foam pads disposed on said mount lower surface for adhering to said vertical under-sink surface. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein said plurality of adhesive foam pads each further comprises a thickness slightly larger than said mounting post head. 7. The device of claim 6, wherein said retainer further comprises at least one latch disposed on an end portion for retaining said spray wand hose to said retainer within said groove; wherein said latch spans from said retainer upper surface to said retainer lower surface over said groove. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein said latch is pivotably connected to said retainer by a hinge connection. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein said latches further comprises a latching post protruding from said retainer upper surface and a latching aperture opposite said hinge connection; wherein a top of said latching post insertingly engages said latching aperture to secure said latch in a close position. 10. The device of claim 9, wherein said mount further comprises a curved-shape matching said retainer lower surface. 11. The device of claim 10, wherein said retainer further comprises an arc spanning at least ninety degrees. 12. The device of claim 10, wherein said retainer further comprises an arc spanning one hundred-eighty degrees. 13. A retention clip device for a spray wand hose comprising: a generally curved retainer for retaining a spray wand hose in a position away from under-sink plumbing to avoid entanglement with said plumbing as said spray wand hose is extended and returned, said retainer further comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, an interior sidewall, and an exterior sidewall; and,a generally curved mount secured to a vertical under-sink surface for removably attaching said retainer, said mount further comprising a flat member having an upper surface and a lower surface;wherein said exterior sidewall further comprises an inwardly curved groove for receiving said spray wand hose. 14. The device of claim 13, wherein said retainer further comprises at least two mounting posts protruding from said lower surface; and, said mount further comprises at least two a keyhole mounting apertures for removably receiving said mounting posts, said mounting apertures having a larger diameter upper section and a smaller diameter lower section;wherein each of said mounting posts comprise a shaft and a head; and,wherein said head is suitably sized to fit within said keyhole aperture upper section and said shaft is suitably sized to fit within said keyhole aperture lower section. 15. The device of claim 14, wherein said retainer further comprises an upper latch disposed on an upper end portion for retaining said spray wand hose to said retainer within said groove; wherein said upper latch spans from said retainer upper surface to said retainer lower surface over said groove;wherein said upper latch is pivotably connected to said retainer by a hinge connection;wherein said upper latches further comprises an upper latching post protruding from said retainer upper surface and an upper latching aperture opposite said hinge connection; and,wherein a top of said upper latching post insertingly engages said upper latching aperture to secure said upper latch in a close position. 16. The device of claim 15, wherein said mount further comprises a plurality of adhesive foam pads disposed on said mount lower surface for adhering to said vertical under-sink surface; wherein said plurality of adhesive foam pads each further comprises a thickness slightly larger than said mounting post head. 17. The device of claim 16, wherein said retainer further comprises an arc spanning at least ninety degrees; and, wherein said mount further comprises a curved-shape matching said retainer lower surface. 18. The device of claim 17, wherein said retainer further comprises a lower latch disposed on a lower end for retaining said spray wand hose to said retainer within said groove; wherein said lower latch spans from said upper surface to said lower surface over said groove;wherein said lower latch is pivotably connected to said retainer by a hinge connection;wherein said lower latch further comprises a lower latching post protruding from said retainer upper surface and a lower latching aperture opposite said hinge connection; and,wherein a top of said latching post insertingly engages said latching aperture to secure said latch in a close position. 19.
