The Kibbeh silicone towel clips are designed with a soft, non-marking interface to protect stainless steel and painted surfaces from scratches. The food-grade silicone body is waterproof, which helps prevent the internal magnets from being exposed to moisture that could cause rust. This makes them a helpful option for humid areas near sinks or dishwashers where traditional metal clips might struggle.
The build quality focuses on flexibility and a soft feel. Because the magnets are encapsulated within the silicone, the load capacity is best suited for dry microfiber or light tea towels. If the clip is used for very heavy or soaking wet towels, the weight may exceed the vertical grip. The silicone-on-silicone loop provides a gentle hold, though very smooth towels might slide through if the clip isn't tightened firmly.
To ensure the longevity of the silicone membrane, it is recommended to avoid pulling on the strap with excessive force. The magnets are mechanically held within pockets in the silicone; maintaining a gentle touch during use will help keep the magnets securely in place over time. These clips are rated to handle the warmth found near oven vents, adding a layer of safety for kitchen organization.
For more permanent tool storage that can handle heavier items like metal ladles, you might look at the magnetic utensil and tool holder.
