Sinkshield (stops clogged sinks before they start)

Sinkshield is a wonderful little investment for your kitchen sink. Just place it in the sink to stop bits of food and tea/coffee grounds clogging sinks and drains, resulting in high plumber bills. It’s easy to clean (just wash and dry by hand).

It helps to avoid damaging delicate crockery/glasses and prevents sink scratches. Non-slip feet raise the grooved surface, for better drainage.

Allow cookware to cool to room temperature, before placing on top of the sink protector, and do not use submerged.

Latest advice is not to compost tea leaves and coffee grounds, as acids could harm compost creatures. But swishing them around with water and pouring them out without a filter can also clog sinks. 

Also bin pepper and allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallots, chives) and citrus/tomato/rhubarb scraps, as acids could harm compost creatures. It’s okay to put them in food waste bins (made into biogas).
