Understanding Basin Protection Through Stainless Steel Gracing
Much like a protective mat on a hardwood floor, a sink bottom grid absorbs the heavy impact of daily traffic so the surface underneath remains untouched. When you drop a heavy cast iron skillet into an unprotected sink, the sudden localized pressure can leave permanent micro-scratches or dull spots on the finish. The Vigo VGG2018 distributes that kinetic energy across its chrome-plated stainless steel wires and soft vinyl feet, acting as a buffer zone. Water continues to drain smoothly toward the rear center cutout, while your cookware rests safely above any lingering debris.
Installation Guide
Unbox the grid and inspect the vinyl feet and protective bumpers to ensure they are securely attached in place.
Lower the grid gently into your kitchen sink basin, aligning the rear center cutout with your drain opening.
Lift the grid out periodically during weekly deep cleaning to wipe down the sink floor underneath.
Wash the stainless steel wires with mild soap and warm water to prevent soap scum buildup.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinse Rinse the grid thoroughly after washing dishes to remove food particles and soap residue.
Mild Cleaning Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap to wipe down the chrome-plated stainless steel surface.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Refrain from using abrasive scouring pads or bleach-based cleaners that could damage the finish.
Check Bumpers Periodically inspect the vinyl feet and bumpers to ensure they remain snug and functional.
Dry Storage Towel dry the grid occasionally during deep kitchen cleanings to maintain its polished look.
