I have looked everywhere for care instructions for this set and I bought a sink mat and Felt to go in between the dishes. Ideas for daily use &amp; care?

I wash them in the dishwasher and store them in the cabinet in which I use them everyday with no problems.

I have, but in the basket on the top level. If you don't have that, I'd recommend using the silverware thing on the bottom. I believe they just don't want a small part of it to go down into the dishwasher and break the washer.

Use oil on it, oil of any kind - cooking, furniture or baby. Put a little bit on a paper towel and wipe all the surfaces of the sink. This lasts about 2 weeks for me and is a 1-2 minute chore to restore the beauty of the sink.

I have a hand towel that it lays on on the counter next to my stove, and the back of the cutting board restsagainst the stove and the back splash of the counter top. A silicone mat would also work to keep it from slipping around. Just make sure that you don't let water rest under the cutting board and between the mat.

Someone is pulling your leg !!!!! I can't believe you would really think to pay that price. I've have used them for many yrs and they are GREAT !!!! No need to use paper towels( less for the trash ), just put them in the soap with the other dishes. When they get holes in them, throw them away. I use to buy them at WAl-Mart and Miles Kimble,they don't sell them anymore, so I get them here . You will enjoy them.

I've owned about 5 of these over the years so I know this mat pretty well. Here's my advice... It's good for what it does, which is protect the sink and add a slightly cushioned surface for resting pot/pans while scrubbing. I always cut the center flap off and can't really see a use for it - it just gets in the way. Since the main question was in it's flexibility, I'd say it starts out somewhat flexible, but over time gets less and less flexible. ****Important**** Always remove it before you pour out boiling water (i.e. pasta water) in the sink or it will become rigid way sooner than it would otherwise.

I can't find any washing instructions on the mat. I don't know if there was any paperwork that came with it, but I don't have that anymore, sorry.

Fill a sink with water and a few drops of dish soap - dip it a few times to get the dirt off and dry it by wrapping it in a bath towel - can be washed several times before it needs to be replaced...generally can be used for several years.

I like to use pad like: Scotch-Brite Dobie All-Purpose Pads, 3-Count (Pack of 8) Price:$23.92 Free Shipping for Prime Members. I saw these on Amazon, but I like ones that have cloth on one side even better as they are softer to hold. I know I should wear gloves to wash dishes, but I don't. I sometimes use a brush like: OXO Good Grips Dish Brush by OXO Price: $4.99 Free shipping for Prime members when buying this Add-on Item. This helps for the first clean over and then I scrub with those pads if needed. I pretty much use those two things to wash all my dishes. You can put the pads and the brushes in the dishwasher to clean them. I like to use pad like: Scotch-Brite Dobie All-Purpose Pads, 3-Count (Pack of 8) Price:$23.92 Free Shipping for Prime Members.

No instructions for ours either; however, it is stainless steel, so a gentle hand-wash should be OK. I probably wouldn't put it in the dishwasher - you'd need to be sure all those crevices got completely dry. We're happy with ours.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it on Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

This has not been an issue for me, sorry. But you might try a rinse aid in the cycle as well as regular soap; this makes a big difference in how clean the dishes are at the end of the cycle.

Just got it a few days ago. Not sure how helpful this is, but immediately after using, I typically rinse the areas that would have come in contact with food, then dry with a towel. I suppose you could fit a damp/soapy q-tip behind the cutting blade if something got really stuck in there, then rinse lightly and dry. As someone already suggested, a small brush or even toothbrush seems like a good idea.

Daily use sink got some water & scratch marks, I just use dish soap & green Scotch pad then wipe dry.still very happy with this sink, reasonable price & other pricy SS sinks not as deep as this one.

I wouldn't put mine in the dishwasher. There is a pad on the bottom to keep it from scratching your counter which would probably come off in a dishwasher. Also, I am uncomfortable with putting bare natural marble in there. If you don't mind hand-washing, this is a great set. It's pretty and looks nice on the counter when you aren't using it. I'm very happy with my set. Works great.

I put a dishtowel at around my pot just in case. I have washed it once - cold water, hang dry. It worked fine but I prefer to spot clean or use the dish towel preventatively because I want it to last as long as possible.

I looked at their website and there are laundry-use instructions, as well as other kinds of uses.Good luck.
