OXO says this particular model lifts by the center post, inverts for easy emptying and is dishwasher-safe. These instructions are only for SKU 1308200. Where a waste disposer is fitted, disconnect power before working near its opening and follow that appliance's manual.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 6 done

1. Confirm the OXO Good Grips Silicone Sink Strainer, SKU 1308200. Other stopper combinations and metal strainers may have different instructions.
2. Once the water drains, lift the strainer slowly by its center post. Disconnect any waste disposer before working near it and never reach into its mechanism.
3. Invert the silicone basket into a suitable waste bin. OXO explicitly describes this feature; do not push trapped food scraps back down the drain.
4. Rinse the basket and stainless rim and gently remove remaining residue. Do not scrape the silicone with knives or harsh metal scouring pads.
5. OXO identifies this SKU as dishwasher-safe. Follow your appliance's loading guidance and do not assume all sink strainers have this approval.
6. Check for residual dirt, shake off water and refit the strainer. Stop using it if the silicone tears, metal bends or drainage becomes restricted.
