"Love it" star star star star star This is great, have one for both my sink and drainer, they are great at protecting the sink and the items being washed up. Goes in the dishwasher on the top rack and comes out absolutely fine though I lay it flat. I don't leave it covered in anything that may stain it as I think they can get marked with dark foodstuffs like curry sauce etc. Well worth the money and seems hardwearing enough to last well.
"Does the job" star star star star star I have been well using the regular size mat for three weeks and it's still looking new. We do use a washing up bowl. Having read the reviews re staining on other mats I've been ensuring it was rinsed thoroughly after washing up. However, hubby ignored the reviews and rinsed a tom soup tin out down the side of the washing up bowl and left it. Great, I thought, next day when I saw the orange staining but I laid mat on draining board covered in neat bleach. Staining gone. The circles I had left from the plug hole cut out make great replacements for lost feet for the glass worktop protectors.
"Problem solved" star star star star star Other reviewers mentioned staining. I too noticed discolouration in spite of cleaning in dishwasher. I think I've accidentally solved my problem at any rate. I wanted to clean a small dish and as I frequently do, I popped a dishwasher tablet in quite hot water in the sink with the mat in place. This cleaned not only the dish but the mat was like new afterwards. I haven't tried Bio laundry liquid but i imagine it might have the same effect.
"Sink mat" star star star star star I have used this sink mats for years one each in sink and drainer in both kitchen and utility room and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Lots of my friends have also purchased them after seeing mine and as far as I am aware no one has had any problems.
"Smart, useful, durable, easy to clean" star star star star star_border I have a white china sink and found it gets easily marked by my heavier frying pans,baking trays, pressure cooker and pressure canner. I bought this mat as it was smart and could be adjusted to fit by snipping off any excess circles. I don't like keep it in the sink - sink mats in general tend to trap stuff underneath them. Besides, my white china sink is lovely as it is. So, I whip this mat out from the cupboard under the sink and use it whenever I'm putting heavy stuff in the sink, and then put it in the top of my dishwasher to be cleaned. Comes out sparkling. Works really well.
