How do you keep this stuck to a stainless steel sink? I've cleaned it, tried water, oil, and it still falls down.

I lightly moisten both suction cups and mine stays firmly in place for at least a week on a stainless steel sink wall. If it starts to move a little after that week, I pop it off and remoisten. My cleaning person, who is incredible, is stymied by it and seems to have the same problem as you do! I think that the light moistening is the key.

I don't have a SS sink, but I would think oil would prevent it from sticking.

I dry the sink area, and moisten only the rubber suction pads. Stays in place till I take it off for cleaning. However it is not exactly my "favorite"......

Christopher,I hade the same problem until, I cleaned the oil of the insert and tapped it in using a block of wood and hammer and it stayed. I have been using it ever since with no problem. I hope this helps.Khalid

It would stay there. However, the ends are adjustable and slide in and out easily. So if it was jarred or the center part moved it would not stay put. If you are the one using the sink area go for it but if kids or a number of people use the sinks you MAY have a problem. For the most part it would work great.

After it cools, I use a dish rag and mild dish detergent. I rub dry with a paper towel and coconut oil. The coconut oil seems to help take the stickiness out if you happened to cook something that caused that. It doesn't totally come out, but it's better and the more you use the coconut oil, the better the pan gets. I'm not as happy with that aspect of the pan (that it gets sticky/tacky)...I feel it requires more work than just a stainless steel pan.

It retracts fully, except when it doesn't. The weight needs to be installed at just the right location. If it runs into any under sink clutter it can hang up a bit. Usually a little jostling fixes it

Mine has been on for a couple years, and I want to try to keep it on as long as possible, so I haven't tried pulling it up recently....but, while I was installing it I had to pull it up a couple times to move it around, and I found that if I pulled up a little corner of it and started to spray water underneath it would pull up much easier, once the adhesive dries, it holds on really well, but it loosens if it's wet, so I think with some water, a good scraping tool and maybe some adhesive remover to wipe down the counter with after you'd be fine...a little tip I found helpful, when applying to the front or side edges of your counter, don't trim it flush with the edge, allow some hang over, and either glue or staple it to the underside of the counter (the product adhesive won't stick to a rough surface), that gives you a little bit to grab onto to start the removing process, because starting with a flush edge is probably going to require some scraping, which could damage the counters edges.

Just wiping it out with dish soap and water. To shine I use a little olive oil.Love this sink. I will never go back to stainless.

I had the same problem, and it's because that Houzer is meant for SS sinks. I have a cast iron sink and had the same problem, so I returned it.

Keep it clean as long as you can. That is why you buy a new one! They are great, and really protect the sink!

No idea what your first question is asking. We haven't had to wash it yet, but soap and water in the sink should do the trick.

I have this sink and have no issues with "standing water", however that being said, if you want to save water, you may be disappointed because it takes more water to effectively clean or chase food down the drain. I use a dish brush to sweep food towards the drain and the faucet we have can be pulled down to help out. But as for water not draining, I've not had an issue. Maybe those that are complaining didn't bother to level their sink cabinet?

Not silly, I had the same problem. I assumed it screwed on and off, it doesn't. You have to pull it straight up off of the rubber fitting. Then when you reinstall on the sink, you push it back down into the disposal an tighten everything around it. Drove me nuts until I figured that part out.

I bought a stainless steel cleaning cloth found here on Amazon. You dampen it and wipe the canister then dry rub it. It has nice instructions and a free downloadable eBook that you can get on how to clean stainless steel.

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.

Since I would never even think of putting mine in the dishwasher, I haven't had that problem. If I had done that, I might try baking soda or Bartender's Friend to see if either would remove any of the discoloration. Both are very fine abrasives which I find work well on my stainless steel sink. Also, a metal polish called MAAS works well on lots of metals, including sterling silver as well as stainless steel. Good luck.

If you do try it, use it in a inconspicuous spot before doing it on the whole fridge! It works wonders on my stainless steel sink. I apply it rub the sink with some paper towels, rinse the sink with water, then (dry) shine it up with a soft kitchen towel. That is where you might have a problem, not be able to rinse it off. There is a stainless steel spray that they make that could work better, called Hopes perfect stainless steel polish. That is for appliances. It is right here on Amazon

Did you use the metal washer on the bottom of the sink that sits on the countertop...i have clear caulk on the bottom of of the sink between the washer and the sink so it doesn't move....
