"Are the polished brass, white, almond, etc (special finishes) close to being as durable as chrome?"
We recommend chrome-finish baskets as they are much less likely to tarnish with proper care. Metal-bodied basket strainers with
special (non-chrome) finishes generally do not last long under harsh acidic (tomatoes, etc) or other sink conditions. Because of this, we do not
warranty, guarantee, or promise that metal strainers with special finishes will last long. The chrome and all-stainless steel basket strainers that we offer will generally last longer and are always the better choice.
"What type of cleaner do you recommend to clean my basket strainer bodies with?"
Mild, liquid dishwashing soap is best. Also, please note that acids (tomatoes, etc) will attack polished brass and most non-chrome finishes. We suggest that you do not use abrasive cleaners, and - though we offer other finishes - we recommend that you only purchase chrome-finished baskets.
"I understand that you recommend the chrome-finish basket assemblies as they are the most durable. But I really want a basket strainer assembly in white (or almond, biscuit, black, red, etc.) Don't you have anything that is more durable than the metal-body, special finish assemblies?"
We do offer high-quality, Celcon® (plastic) strainers in various colors (non-metallic) click here for Opella Celcon® basket strainers. Because the color is in the plastic, these will not chip like metal-body, special finish assemblies. Both standard and disposer drain assemblies are available.
