Sterilite dish rack Review

(originally posted on Target)

No more rusty stain on my plates!

Since my old dish rack rusted, again, I decided to try the less attractive looking plastic dish rack. Well...when I said old, they were not that old but they all rusted within a few months of use. I'm now pretty happy with this one I found at Target store. 

I was a little concerned about the silverware holder at the front side as I always have it at the back so I did not know how I'd like it but it's not really a problem after I bought it. 

Now I've owned it for over a month, it actually does not look bad, it takes lots of bowls, plates. I find a way to put the kitchen knifes so they stay upright and have least contact with the dish rack (but please be careful when tilt rack to drain water as the knife might fall), and the best thing is my plates will not rust. I've cleaned it once so far because it's new and stays clean but I plan to clean/wash the rack probably bi-weekly or weekly depends on my usage and its dirtiness.

The only shortage is the silverware holder does not drain well as there are only a few holes on the bottom. My solution: I drilled a few more holes at the end edge toward the front bottom and it works pretty well, no more water retained, oh, maybe a little tiny bit but it dries out quickly in a few hours. Aso, I place a folded cloth underneath the back edge to make a bigger slant that helps the water move forward for drainage. 

Cleaning the sterilite plastic dish rack is pretty easy. I simply mix half water and half chloride in a spray bottle and spray it to the rack, let it stay a few minutes and then wash it off with water. It's clean!

Overall, I'm happy!
