The OXO Good Grips Silicone Sink Mats are an innovative sink solution. The soft silicone provides a cushion to protect sink, glasses and dishes from scratching and chipping. The Silicone Sink Mats have feet that elevate them and allow for water flow and aeration. If you want to have an opening around your drain, the Silicone Sink Mat has a convenient pattern that allows you to cut a hole exactly where you need it, whether your drain is in the center or the back of your sink. The silicone is heat-safe, making it safe to place pots and pans in the sink directly from the stove. These Silicone Sink Mats are dishwasher safe and PVC, BPA and Phthalate free.
