Safety Tips

• Do not force the strainer into plugholes that are smaller or significantly larger than 45mm, as this may cause damage to either the strainer or the sink.

• Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the buildup of grease, soap scum, or bacterial growth, which can lead to unpleasant odors.

• Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool when cleaning the strainer, as these can scratch or damage the chrome plating.

• Handle the strainer carefully when wet to prevent accidental dropping or damage.

• Avoid exposing the strainer to excessive heat, such as pouring boiling water directly onto it, which could damage the finish or warp the material.
