Product review (1 stars): These Work as Intended but Do not Hold Up to Cleaning
LAST UPDATE:
For those of you saying that Im being unfair in my criticism of the material because they did not hold up to cleaning with Windex. This is a kitchen counter item. Weather Im cleaning with Windex or Clorox (not at the same time) or any other standard household cleaner all my kitchen items better hold up or they are trash. If I can't clean it until its shiny clean and sterile then it belongs in a shed not a kitchen. I stand by my one star rating because nothing in the kitchen should need to be treated with kid gloves when it comes to cleaning.

These work as intended however they simply do not hold up to cleaning.

Initially I loved the look of these gap covers and I thought the flexible material would make them easier to rinse off in the sink. Problem is I never got that far. My first time cooking with them on and a few splatters of grease got on them. After the stove had cooled I went to clean them with Windex and a paper towel. As you can see from the photos they scratched up and lost their finish right away.

To add to that the grease stains are still visible as small circles on the finish and I knew the first day I could not keep these. (see photos) These will be trashed and replaced as soon as possible. I simply cant understand why something like this would be made in a way that could not stand up to a mild cleaner like Windex and a paper towel.

Several days later and I have noticed a new issue with them. They are silicon and therefore a little sticky. because of this dust sticks to them and requires more than just a damp towel to clean it off. Not to mention when unloading the groceries the plastic grocery bags stuck to them so much that when I lifted the bag the cover came up with it.

If you can tolerate the loss of its finish and the little circles left behind they do work well to keep spills from getting between the counter and stove. Otherwise these will look dull and dirty very quickly and will never look fully clean after the first few weeks.
