I love this sink mat.  It works well and looks cute in my sink.  BUT....it stains easily.  Thus, 4 stars.  I have soaked it in bleach and lightened it up again. But it does yellow and never really stays clear.   I always take it out if I've got anything red to rinse in the sink (i.e. spaghetti sauce,  chili, strawberries,  ketchup, etc.) because those are real discoloring to this.   Unfortunately, a photo really can't show the discoloration that happens.
