This sink strainer and stopper is easy to clean and the cup part that allows the sink to be stopped is removable to ensure thorough removal of all debris. The strainer itself is a little bit more shallow than some which means it will need to be emptied more often to prevent the water from backing up due to debris clogging it. It looks nice though, the stopper works well, and little particles and strings do not get stuck to it like on a mesh strainer.
