help for the holiday host: simplehuman® introduces tools to make cleanup easier

LOS ANGELES — We all know the heavy lifting doesn’t end once the turkey’s out of the oven. Cleanup, especially when it involves special occasion items that aren’t dishwasher safe, can be endless. The new simplehuman sink mat and sink caddy are designed to make cleanup easier, faster and safer so the only thing that breaks after dinner is served is the wishbone!

To help keep crystal and fine china safe, our new sink mat has:

• a soft rubber surface that is gentle on glasses and dishes and prevents chipping
•  a raised platform lifts the mat above the sink floor so water flows freely—preventing mildew
• non-slip rubber feet ensure that the mat stays put
• raised edges and corners keep dishes from hitting the sink wall and chipping if they slidea convenient stainless steel handle makes it easy to lift the mat out of the sink if you need to reach the drain or disposal unit, so there’s no need to struggle with suction cups or a slippery plastic mat
• the sink mat comes in a standard as well as a smaller size for double sinks

Our stainless steel sink caddy is also designed to stay put:

• it has four suction cups and a wire ledge hanger so once you attach it to the sink wall, it won’t slip and crash during clean up
•  the wire ledge hanger also has a soft, clear rubber coating to keep the wire from scratching your countertop or sinkan innovative, pop-out silicone brush holder extends to hold longer brushes; just press down and the holder extends out so your brush stores upright
• a raised plastic divider separates sponges and scourers for a faster dry and stores them in a  tiered position—making it easier to grab for a quick spill

Both the simplehuman sink mat and the sink caddy are backed by our five-year warranty and have a clean, simple design that looks great in virtually any kitchen.
