Protecting Your Investment With Stainless Steel Construction
Think of this sink grid as a sturdy bridge over your kitchen basin floor. Just like a heavy-duty floor mat protects a high-traffic hallway from muddy boots, this chrome-plated stainless steel grid takes the direct impact of heavy pots, pans, and silverware. Instead of resting heavy ceramic dishes directly on the delicate floor of your sink, the grid supports the weight on its strong wire frame while the vinyl feet keep the sides completely cushioned, ensuring your kitchen sink stays smooth and scratch-free year after year.
Installation Guide
Measure your kitchen sink basin floor to verify compatibility before placing the grid inside.
Lower the grid gently into the sink basin, aligning the rear center cutout with your drain opening.
Inspect the vinyl feet and protective bumpers periodically to ensure they remain securely attached.
Remove the grid weekly to wipe down the underside of the sink basin and clean the wire bars.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinse Rinse food particles and soap residue through the grid and down the drain after heavy meal prep.
Gentle Washing Clean the stainless steel wires using mild dish soap and a soft sponge or cloth.
Avoid Abrasives Never use steel wool or harsh chemical bleach, as these can damage the chrome finish.
