Choosing The Right Kitchen Sink Strainer Makes A Big Difference
By KIM W.S.
While many people settle for the standard basket strainer, this common choice has larger holes that don't catch fine particles, often leading to slow drainage and
standing water.
Additionally, emptying food from basket strainers can be a messy and unpleasant task. Fortunately, more efficient options are available in the market to make your life easier.
One such option is the double cup filter, which has one removable cup and another that stays fixed to the drain, offering twice the straining power.
Flange strainers come with a rubber rim that creates a seal, preventing water from bypassing the drain. Some attach directly to the sink, while others also function as a stopper.
On the other hand, mesh strainers, made from fine wire mesh, capture more debris while allowing better water flow, making them more effective at avoiding clogs.
If you don't want to deal with the mess, silicone strainers are a great alternative. They have smaller holes and a design that can be flipped inside out for hands-free cleaning.
