Title: oh dear
Product review: Here's why you should never buy a rubber drain board. After a few days the water that settles actually creates black slimy spots on top of the drain board (and especially in between the cracks) and it's VERY hard and annoying to clean off. I have to scrub hard with a brillo pad for several minutes (up to 10 minutes sometimes). This is a nightmare and can easily be fixed by purchasing a plastic one instead, so I recommend going with that. You're probably thinking I'm not draining the water after I put the dishes away. No I am, but if the drain board remains wet and let's say it's raining outside and damp, the water will absorb into the board regardless. Even thoroughly drying the drain board with a towel still has the potential to create those dreaded black marks.Also rubber tends to get weak and tear after a few years of using, whereas plastic won't. This means the sides of the drain board will probably tear eventually. It really is a better alternative to just go with plastic.
