Product review (4 stars): Mixed emotions about these covers...
These Gap Covers definitely keep crumbs or spills or anything else from falling and getting into the cracks between the counter and stove...food, pot holders, towels, utensils....I love this aspect and am very happy about that! My only issue with them is, they are always spotted or smeared unless I clean them carefully by hand and hand dry them thoroughly.  If I toss them into the dishwasher, they come out spotted all over...and the spots don't want to wipe off and I must hand wash them anyway. If I wipe them off while wiping the counter...spots.  I can wash them by hand and dry them with a very good lint free kitchen towel and I must take great pains to dry without leaving spots. Quite a bit of time spent on keeping them looking nice. I have a beautiful new kitchen with shiny new black appliances including a glass top stove...which I keep spotless and sanitized when I'm not cooking/baking....the entire kitchen come clean with ease except for these covers...I have to work with them a lot to keep their spots and streaks from taking away from the neat clean look of the kitchen when it's not in use.  I don't mind the covers getting dirty...I bought 2 sets to compensate with their getting dirty often. But they get dirty so easily, and then don't clean up so well. I love to cook & bake for  family/friends.  I have plenty of items to clean, which is fine...they can all go in the dishwasher  and come out 1 hour later looking great...except for these little covers. I love the purpose they serve very much, however, I would really love it if they cleaned up as well and easily as the rest of the kitchen. Once I am ready to clean up...I want it to be a smooth job....there is more to life. I run the dishwasher twice a day at least due to all the cooking/baking I do...Like I said, I bought two sets of these gap covers for quick changing so I could toss dirty ones in the dishwasher  and sure do love having them. I'm just disappointed that a quick clean up of the kitchen is snagged by these little covers that demand "hands on" care.  I would not give them up....but would love to see improvements. Would be 5 star if they cleaned up as well as the rest of the kitchen.
