One of the primary functions of a sink protector mat is to safeguard the sink's surface from scratches, dents, and chips caused by dishes, pots, and pans. Stainless steel sinks, while elegant, are prone to visible scratches, making a sink protector mat an invaluable addition for maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your kitchen or bathroom. With an offset drain hole, the mat stays securely in place, allowing for full protection around the drain area, which is often the most vulnerable part of the sink.
