The art is replete with caddies having sockets for receiving the scrubbing end portions of cleaning implements (e.g., brushes) when the cleaning implements are being stored, particularly including such caddies for storing the types of cleaning implements with long handles used for cleaning toilet bowls or the like that are commonly used and stored in bathrooms. U.S. Design Pat. Nos. 345,271; 297,292; 329,775; 276,291; 298,712; 315,269; 400,748; and 291,039; U.S. Pat. No. 4,776,456; and International Publication No. WO 01/60200 A1 provide illustrative examples. Typically, such caddies store the cleaning implement with the handle of the cleaning implement projecting generally vertically upwardly which is convenient for retrieving the cleaning implement when it is to be used, but which, because of the length of the handle and overall length of the cleaning implement (e.g., 16+ inches or 40+ centimeters), makes the caddy and cleaning implement combination inconvenient to store in storage cabinets of the type typically found in bathrooms.
