Please keep a clear space of 24 inches x 5.5 inches (approximately 6.3 cm x 14.7 cm) around the faucet, ensuring that there are no built-in filters or hand sanitizer dispensers around the faucet, unless you are willing to cut the floor mat to make it flat. If you need to cut it, you can make a few cuts on the back of the product to bypass the hand sanitizer dispenser. This is simpler and can prevent water from entering. (But cutting requires skill) So it is best to ensure there are no obstacles. It is not suitable for curved-edge sinks, side-sink, round sinks, or thick faucet bases. It is not only a splash-proof pad for the sink, but also can become a storage rack for toothbrushes, water cups, hand sanitizer, etc. in the bathroom! In the kitchen, it can be used as a kitchen sponge rack to hold sponges and detergent! After washing the dishes, it can also be used as a draining pad to help you drain the excess water from the dishes! It is a super practical and essential small tool for home, bathroom, kitchen, camper, and apartment living!
