Allow your clean dishes to thoroughly dry with the incredibly stylish and sturdy Bamboo Dish Rack. This great dishwashing accessory provides space for up to 14 dinner plates, has an additional rack for cups, and folds flat for simple storage. The dish drying rack is constructed entirely of beautiful bamboo wood that is environmentally friendly and harder than common woods such as maple. Get back to nature with products made of bamboo, a grass that is stronger than most hardwoods, yet lightweight, because it does not absorb water. Bamboo is functional as well as beautiful and ecologically compatible(no trees are cut). We recommend that you wash your exotic bamboo product with a mild soap in warm water. You should on occasion wipe down with mineral oil.
