A new colleague new to the team asked me what a kitchen sink strainer waste was, so I thought it would be a good idea for any slightly odd terms like this cropped up, to explain them in this blog - like a little glossary! A kitchen sink strainer waste is an alternative to a plug and chain. They are metal contraptions that you stick in to the plug hole to form a seal, or you can lift up slightly to catch all the solid waste as the water drains down. These are great when you want to prevent the headache that a blocked drain can bring. And they look quite cool as well! /div>
