A Sink Protector (to catch food debris)

This sink protector mat is ideal to catch food debris, to prevent food clogging up drains, and leaving you with a hefty plumber’s bill. It can also stop oily and greasy food going down the drain, which can create so-called fatbergs in our ancient sewers. And it will keep you sweet with your neighbours (many garden floods are caused by someone’s blocked drain!)

Use an oil recycling bin to deposit used cooking oil (also don’t pour cream liqueurs down sinks). Read our post on unclogging sinks and drains, naturally.

Experts now say not to compost coffee grounds and tea leaves (as acids could harm compost creatures). So this can stop them clogging sinks, when you rinse out tea pots and coffee pots, before binning them. 

Also good to protect glassware when washing up, it features a removable plug for drainage, and grooves to help channel water away. The non-slip feet also provide better drainage, and it’s also elegant and easy to clean.
