The clever bit about this useful kitchen sink is the stainless steel reinforcing ring around the top which stops the sink from collapsing when it is full. The tough nylon fabric sink is PU coated with fully taped seams & features two robust webbing carrying handles. By using this sink away from your water source you are not directly polluting rivers & streams, food debris & detergents can have a detrimental effect on aquatic creatures & flora. Please note that you should always start with cold water in the sink, & then add hot water (very hot water by itself will damage the seam tape) & that bleach, even in mild concentrations will damage the PU coating & the nylon fabric. Unique design with stainless steel stiffening ring that prevents the sink from collapsing when full Base is broader than top so it won’t tip over in use Fine to use with hot water (60°C) & detergent Fully taped seams Wide webbing carry handles Comes with its own handy zippered storage pouch with drain hole This size makes an excellent dog bowl
