I love my Kraus sink. With that being said, I have to say that cleaning the sink grate is a real pain! It collects mold on the underside, within in 24 hours. I cook and use my sink a lot. The hardest thing I do is try to keep the sink grate clean. I use Bar Keeper's Friend to clean the sink and grate every evening, by morning the underside of the grate and the top, where the wires connect is moldy. It should not be this hard to take care of a sink that costs this much! I would only recommend it to someone who loves standing at the sink washing and drying the grate several times a day!
