I bought this Spülmatten me 4 months ago. They look very chic and classy, but only as long as they are new. My daughter has flushed out a pot with tomato sauce and, of course, left the mat in the sink. Now, the mat is completely discolored. I've tried all kinds of things, the discoloration was only a little paler. Over time, I then realized that any red color remains on her stick and that bomb-proof. Conclusion: Looks good new, but for everyday use I need some maintenance easier. Too bad about the money.
