After a while most of these sink protectors seem to get really grungy, regardless of regular cleaning. How is this one measuring up?

This sink protector is the absolute worst! Have had the set for only a month and it has been replaced by a "cheap" K-Mart brand. Stains horribly and looks just awful. Don't waste your money.

Ours is distorted, will not adhere with suction cups, is amber/orange (starts out clear)even with dishwashing by hand and machine regularly. Looking for a better one - my old Rubbermaid (probably prior to the outsourcing to foreign entities for manufacturing) would last 5 years easily. Not any more...I bought this one Nov 2014. It has needed to be replaced since at least Thanksgiving 2015 - so expect a year or less out of it.

Keep it clean as long as you can. That is why you buy a new one! They are great, and really protect the sink!

Great! I get about a year plus, with a busy sink it keeps my stainless in great condition.

It hasn't gotten grungy at all. So far I really like it. I also have the ones that sit in the bottom of the sink.

Ours is the same and I can assume it has to do with a potential tilt in the bottom of the sink so it stays flat. Our sink is pretty flat all across and the protector sits at a slight angle but it does not interfere with anything that has to be done. It is a sink protector and it does a good job for that.

Hard for me to say. This is a good but not excellent quality sink. This is not the highest end stainless steel--a magnet can stick to it so it is not the highest grade. Having said that, after 18 months of heavy use, there are no dents in it. It is moderately scratch resistant. In terms of your question, hard for me to say as I have a water softener. But probably would stain easily with hard water. For me it was a question of cost. A higher quality Kohler stainless sink was another $300. For the money I am happy with this sink. Please let me know what you decide and how it works out for you. Hard for me to say. This is a good but not excellent quality sink.

My white sink doesn't show any stains. It's gorgeous! Get the stainless bottom grids and that will help keep it looking new. I love the low middle divider - it makes washing large pans very easy. I'd buy it again! Hope that helps.

It appears to be some sort of vinyl or vinyl like covering, I have used it in My sink for months without a problem.

I have stainless sink and it looks good, but my sink is an undercounter placement so you don't really notice.

It is easy to clean, however I would not buy it from here again because it is such a rough cut it will scratch your sink. Check Walgreens they have better ones.

It is very easy to clean because the rubber plunger acts as a squeegee and wipes the inside clean. Just take off the bottom piece and push the plunger down over a garbage can (or I put it in my compost, filter and all). After that there is minimal residue and I just rinse it in the sink.

Hi! I have not noticed any scratches on my sink, although it is not a very new one. And I have looked for the "metal feet" and they do not look like metal to me. I am very happy with them, event though I would have liked it they were a little less flexible. But so far, so good!

I have not experienced that. I relate to your wonder. For the price and all. I would say that this works best of anything out there and I love love mine. Great quality and look pretty in the sink when you keep them emptied.

I do still love this sink, its beautiful. BUT I will say that I do have some chips/scratches on both front corners. They're small and hard to see but they're there which is frustrating. Could've been the way the sink was installed or how the countertop was laid over it. We have quartz counters so they're quite heavy. It also seems to stain pretty easily - if I have a pot or pan in the sink for a day or two I find I'm scrubbing extra hard to remove any ring it left. In hindsight - as much as I love the sink and this type of sinks - I'd probably not go with an apron front sink, and stick with an undermount stainless steel or granite sink! Good luck. I am sure you'll be happy with either choice!

I use a stainless steel cleaner that is a spray. For everyday cleaning I use 409 because it does get build up. Although I love the sink it scratches very easily which I have stopped worrying about. I am not sure why it scratches so easily. I'm sure you know not to use an abrasive cleaner

It has held up perfectly for me. I don't hang heavy rags on it, just my skor wash pads. I also don't pull it off and put it back to scrub the sink, so I think it holds up better for me.

We have had no issues around our sinks and we installed it in the kitchen and bathroom - constant daily use on both and it has held up great for over 12 months now. We have had no issues.

I have only had it for about a year now, but I haven't had any issue with the finish on any area of the sink.

Bar Keepers Friend is somewhat helpful, but the long term answer is to put down a rubber mat of some sort that completely covers the bottom. If I had it to do over again, I would NOT install this sink! Dish soap pits the sink and it scratches too easily.

slight inward curve at the bottom of the sink does not create a quality issue. I'm sure this is done for aesthetics. a clear sealer between the countertop and sink can be used if you choose
