Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is immediate; simply place the strainer directly over the drain opening to begin protection. Compatibility is best suited for drains with an opening smaller than 14cm. To care for your strainer, remove it daily after washing dishes or showering to discard the collected debris into a trash bin. If the mesh or holes become coated in grease or soap scum, clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush to restore optimal drainage. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the finish over time.
