Default Washcloth bar for In the shower

I just installed a new tub surround (SwanStone) and am looking for a
glue on (silicone caulk) washcloth bar. I've searched the net for
several hours and can't find any. The only things I'm finding are
screw in towel bars (for outside the shower). Does anyone have a good
site that sells them, or, a better search term than "shower washcloth
bar"?


If you can put it in a spot where people WON'T use it as a grab bar, one
of the suction cup things would work. (IMHO, it ought to be illegal to
sell those as safety bars.) Or, if there is a flat spot without air
space behind it, just go ahead and install one of those stainless grab
bars. You'll need it one of these days anyway.

But having said all that- for just a washcloth, one of those self-stick
robe hooks works fine, if you can find one in a color you can tolerate.
Or, one of those gizmos that hangs off the shower head- many have
washcloth loops on them.

Not a fan of silicone caulk used as glue in a shower stall. Previous
owner used it to put up those horrid soap/conditioner/shampoo dispensers
in both my plastic shower and my tiled one. Took me hours to razor and
scrape the silicone off after I tore them down. Under a bright light you
can still see the ghosts of where they were.
