Draining Sink Baskets

The Aqua Sink Drainer is a Drying Rack that Unloads Excess Dish Water

— April 21, 2016 — Art & Design
The Aqua Sink Drainer Basket provides an innovative design that cleverly unloads dish water that accumulates on wet dishes to stop water from collecting underneath in the drying rack. The basket can also be used to soak dishes with a sealable valve that keeps water locked in until opened to release it.

While drying racks are a handy kitchen accessory, often times they can pool still water from dripping wet dishes. The water sits and can become unsanitary underneath freshly washed dishes, making the Aqua Sink Drainer Basket an ideal solution. The bin features a section for cutlery, plates and glasses along with high walls so that the bin can be filled with water if the dishes require soaking. A hidden plastic valve drains the water from the bin if needed, to keep the rack dry.
Trend Themes
1. Enhanced Dish Drying - Opportunity for innovative designs that prevent water pooling and improve sanitation in dish drying racks.
2. Sealable Soaking Solutions - Disruptive innovation potential in creating dish baskets with sealable valves to prevent water leakage during soaking.
3. Multi-functional Kitchen Accessories - Opportunity to develop kitchen accessories that serve multiple purposes, such as combining a drying rack with a dish-soaking bin.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Potential for kitchenware manufacturers to create innovative dish drying solutions that address the problem of water pooling.
2. Household Cleaning Products - Disruptive innovation opportunity in the development of dish baskets with sealable valves that enhance the soaking process and prevent water leakage.
3. Home Organization - Potential for companies specializing in home organization products to create multi-functional kitchen accessories that optimize space and functionality.
