The wet environment results in soap scum, hard-water spots, mold, and rust which you may see on your caddy. The popularity of stainless steel and aluminum shower caddies is quite logical as they have proven to be long lasting and durable. A plastic caddy is also an option as these are easy to clean and maintain. Wood is a natural material and as good as it looks it has a big disadvantage – wooden caddies tend to mold faster. Teak is the type of wood that does not mold but it is quite expensive.
