Mine is stainless steel and while it once looked good, it gets gloppy and smelly and it is really hard to clean. Do you like yours? Thanking you, Dopers.

If you have a dishwasher, stick it in there once in a while. If you don’t, perhaps ask a friend if you could use theirs.

We have a chromed-wire one that stays clean. The wire is thin so it doesn’t seem to pick up grime. I think my sis got it at Ikea.

Far and away the best design we’ve ever used is [this](http://www.amazon.com/Chrome-Drying-Drainer-Kitchen-Storage/dp/B00O85EE2S/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1KNX2Q6RQ0Z2FHTG5HHT) [one](http://www.amazon.com/Level-Drainer-Utensil-Glass-Containers/dp/B009CCP3CM). Google on _two level dish drainer_ to see a “variety” of them, all of which look essentially identical to me, at a variety of prices.
