Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Sakugi Dish Drying Rack.

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe the rack with a damp cloth and mild detergent regularly to remove water spots and food residue. The smooth, waterproof, and fingerprint-proof coating makes cleaning effortless.
• Drying: Although the rack is designed for direct drainage, occasionally dry the entire unit, especially in humid environments, to prevent mineral buildup and maintain its appearance.
• Material Care: The rack is made from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its rust and corrosion resistance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Rack Instability: Ensure the suction cups at the base are firmly pressed onto a clean, dry, smooth countertop surface. If the surface is uneven, the suction cups may not adhere properly.
• Rust Spots: While made from 304 stainless steel, prolonged exposure to standing water or certain minerals can cause minor surface rust. Clean any rust spots immediately with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and dry thoroughly. Regular drying after use can prevent this.
• Improper Fit: If the rack does not fit your sink, re-check the adjustable width. The rack is designed for sinks between 30.0" and 33.9" in width. Also, ensure your faucet height is less than 21" to allow the rack to sit correctly.
