You guys are finally coming around to what's been my Sooper Sikret Cocktail ingredient for years! The elderflower syrup from Ikea! It really basically goes great in EVERY clear liquor available, and really enhances champagne on its own.

My biggest problem is that ours does NOT drain correctly or at all. We have the KitchenAid one from Costco, but here's the amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Kitchenaid-Piece-Dish-Drying-Rack/dp/B001E9O2DM/ref=sr_1_1?t=slickdeals&tag=slickdeals&ie=UTF8&qid=1299456185&sr=8-1

If I'm washing a ton of dishes and drying them on the rack, the water tends to stay in the tray and I can't tip it without danger of all the dishes shifting and or sliding off!

I've tried putting a ramp of some sort underneath the end farther from the sink to tip it towards the sink, but no height is stable enough that still properly drains! The water then ends up staying in the tray and gets all grimey and white/black/moldy. Sigh.

If anyone has any helpful tips, I would super appreciate it!


Best Dish Racks & Drainers 2012 Apartment Therapy's Annual Guide

I'm the dude who asked the original question.

Unfortunately, I would say taking out the doors is NOT an option at this point. This is apartmenttherapy after all, so I assumed most people were renting apartments. Our landlord is very strict about these types of modifications, so I'd prefer to keep things unmolested, if possible. Putting a shower curtain inside doesn't seem to be a good option either as the shower/tub is pretty narrow and I'm a 6'2", broad-shouldered person who's already feeling cramped inside the shower/tub.

Right now, I've sort of been using the squeegee to most of the excess water fill-up out of the tracks, and since I just moved in a few weeks ago, the dreaded brown mucky stuff has not had a chance to build up yet.

It sounds like I may just need to do preventative scrubbing/toweling/siphoning to clean it off. No miraculous apartmenttherapy solution for this! :( Thanks anyway!
