Understanding Grid Flexibility and Impact Absorption
Think of this sink grid like the suspension system on a bicycle. When you drop a heavy ceramic plate into an empty basin, the sudden impact creates a concentrated point of stress that often leads to chipping or cracking. The carefully engineered stainless steel wires in this grid are designed to flex just enough upon contact, distributing the kinetic energy across the entire frame rather than letting it hit your sink base directly. This shock absorbing property protects both your delicate dinnerware and your fireclay basin from everyday accidents.
Installation Guide
Unpack the stainless steel sink grid and inspect the four removable rubber feet to ensure they are securely attached.
Lower the grid gently into the basin of your Sotto 32 kitchen sink, centering it over the floor.
Verify that the rectangular shape aligns properly with the contours of your sink floor and leaves the center drain unobstructed.
Lift the grid out periodically during weekly deep cleaning to wipe down both the wire frame and the sink basin.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the grid with warm water after heavy food prep to prevent residue buildup on the stainless steel wires.
Rubber Foot Maintenance Remove the rubber feet weekly and wash them separately to prevent soap scum accumulation underneath.
Mild Cleaning Solution Wash the stainless steel surface using mild dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge to maintain its luster.
Thorough Drying Dry the grid with a soft microfiber cloth after cleaning to prevent water spots and mineral deposits.
Chemical Avoidance Never use harsh chlorine bleach, steel wool, or abrasive scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the metal finish.
