Kitchen sink mats
Kitchen sink mats are supposed to protect your sink from gashes and scratches. Even though they do the job rather well, you have to admit that they look absolutely horrendous. You can avoid causing scratches in your sink by not tossing dishes, but even if there are scratch marks, who cares?
If you need a mat to stop water from splashing out of your sink, then consider swapping out your 15-year-old mat with a sheet of colorless silicon. They’re less noticeable and work just as well as the swiss-cheesed plastic mats you got as a house warming gift so many years ago.
