Yes, it is. You can also hand wash the SinkShawl with dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. We recommend washing the SinkShawl prior to first use. The SinkShawl may discolor over time, especially at the exposure some foods such as tomato based sauces. Discoloration will not affect the function of the SinkShawl.   

5. How many SinkShawls are included in each order? How many SinkShawls do I need?

ONE SinkShawl is included in each order. Each SinkShawl is 15 inches long, and will cover one side of most standard sized sinks. How many you will want or need is a personal choice! If you are careful and deliberate about how you clean your larger pots and pans, you can generally use one to two shawls. However, if you want to completely wrap your sink edge, you could possibly need up to eight!

The standard entire packaging material is recyclable, including the stickers and tape. The SinkShawl itself may be recyclable in your area, so please check your local recycling centers for confirmation. 

9. Will the SinkShawl completely protect my sink edges from ever being damaged again?!

Unfortunately, no. The SinkShawl can help protect your sink edges, but we cannot guarantee, for example, that if you drop a cast iron skillet from above the sink, damage will not be done.  

10. Where is the SinkShawl made? Who helped along the way? 

The SinkShawl was designed and is made in the USA. It is manufactured by an amazing team in upstate New York.

The CAD Engineer is the talented Justin Shook of Shook Ideas. 

The prototype was made by a couple cool guys at FORGE Manufacturing in Florida.

Once the package leaves SinkShawl headquarters, it is in the hands of the postal service. We highly recommend obtaining insurance.
