FAQs

What is the exact diameter of the Stadux sink strainer plug?

The outside diameter of the Stadux sink strainer plug is precisely 78mm. It is designed to fit sink drain openings between 78mm and 80.3mm.

Can this strainer be used as a permanent plug?

Yes, it can be used to hold water in the sink when pressed down firmly. However, it is designed for occasional plugging and continuous straining. For a permanent plug solution, a dedicated sink stopper might be more appropriate.

How often should I clean the sink strainer?

It is recommended to clean the strainer after each use to remove food waste and prevent odors or blockages. A thorough cleaning with soap and water can be done weekly or as needed.

Is this strainer suitable for all types of kitchen sinks?

This strainer is specifically designed for sinks with a 78mm drain opening, commonly found in the UK. It is not a universal fit and will only work with compatible sink sizes.

What material is the strainer made of?

The strainer is made from high-quality, thickened stainless steel, which provides durability and corrosion resistance.

Will small particles like rice or tea leaves get through the holes?

The precision small holes are designed to catch most food waste effectively. Very small particles like rice or fine tea leaves may pass through, but the majority of common food debris will be trapped.

Troubleshooting

Strainer does not seal properly to hold water.

Ensure the strainer is clean and free of debris. Press down firmly and evenly to create a seal. Check if the sink drain opening is significantly larger than 78mm, which may prevent a proper seal.

Water is draining slowly.

Remove the strainer and clear any trapped food waste. Clean the small holes with a brush to ensure unrestricted water flow.

Strainer appears to be rusting or discolored.

Although made of stainless steel, prolonged contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners can affect the finish. Clean with a mild detergent and soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This strainer plug is specifically designed for UK sinks with an outside diameter of 78mm. It is suitable for sink drain openings measuring between 78mm and 80.3mm. Please measure your sink drain opening carefully before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Setup: Simply place the strainer plug into the sink drain opening. It is designed to sit snugly within the opening, acting as a barrier. To use it as a plug, ensure it is pressed down firmly to create a seal.

Care: To clean, remove the strainer from the sink. Discard trapped food waste into your compost or bin. Rinse the strainer under running water. For a more thorough clean, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. The stainless steel construction makes it dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended for longevity.

Maintenance: Periodically check the strainer for any signs of damage. Ensure the small holes remain clear to allow for optimal drainage.
