Review on ๐Ÿงฝ Rubbermaid Clear Sink Mat: An Optimal and Medium-Sized Solution for Your Kitchen Sink by Rebecca Walker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

THIS MAT IN THE TRANSPARENT VERSION BECOMES DANGEROUS AFTER 2 MONTHS OF USE!

Perfect size for my kitchen sink. It's so much better than any other sink rug I've bought EXCEPT ONE IMPORTANT DETAIL: It gets terribly dirty. My 2 sheer rugs are now an unsavory pee yellow and a dirty brown. These rugs are well made: purchased on July 5, 2020, works like a dream; there are no problems with water flow, and stuck food particles are easily removed; for hand washing LeCruset pots, fine china and knives; You've never been exposed to gross food splatters like chili peppers or tea. However, despite being hand washed and rinsed, they began to turn that horrible dirty yellow color. Neither bleach nor Bartenders Friend nor soaking in an oxygen bleach solution will help. When I realized that I couldn't solve this problem, the return window closed. I sent this to the Revain community and got 4 helpful suggestions which I tried but none of them solved this problem. The only really good suggestion was to not buy the clear ones and go for solid black instead - which would have been a poor choice for my gorgeous yellow triple sink in new condition. Soaking in a solution of oxalic acid might work, but who wants to spend $11 on a non-guaranteed solution for a worthless $25 purchase?

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Too long to wait
