Reply to: An older thread, but still came up when I was searching for cleaning solutions for my 30"x16" grid. Found a slightly more 'active' grid cleaning thread here on Houzz too that actually has two solutions for me. #1. Remove the top rack of the dishwasher (if possible). This allowed my 30" grid to lean diagonally against the back. This should allow up to a 32" grid to fit into a 24" x 24" dishwasher (if the calculation applies). #2. Cut it in half! I searched high and low for two separate grids, but the solution for the custom grids that come with sinks is honestly to cut it in half yourself into two manageable grids. Jim took a saw to his and I will probably do the same so I don't have to remove the top rack of my dishwasher constantly.

Reply to: After much thought and scrubbing I think that I have found the answer: Mothers Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner. A few weeks ago I was scrubbing and scrubbing my sink grate and it was still gummy, spotty, and dull. I silently wished that there was a foam cleaner that would restore its shine and also clean it. So I did an internet search looking for a sink grate cleaner and everything "chrome cleaner" was for autos. So I thought why not give it a try. I did tonight and I haven't seen my grates this clean and shiny in so long. I am very pleased with the results.

Reply to: linelle, with the last two dw's I have had (Bosch and KA), if you remove the upper rack the upper spray arm comes out too. They came with a little gadget that goes over the opening so all the water is directed to the bottom spray arm. Check your dw manual, it may work for you.
