This large OXO Silicone Sink Mat isn't just for the kitchen. I thought this would fit my kitchen sink but it was too large. Make sure to measure your sinks people! However this was awesome for my laundry room washtub. I actually used it for my paint brushes. It sits close enough to the sink floor but has enough space for water and paint to rinse through. It has these little silicone foot knobs that help it sit up a bit which was nice because it allowed my brushes to be clean and not fall through the cracks. I'm sure it would do the same for silverware. I would recommend it for the kitchen and the laundry room.
