But more disturbing is the fact that the recommended cleaning for this is spot cleaning. That seems inappropriate for a bathroom item which will come into contact with germs and bacteria. This will need to be washed eventually.Also, to support the spot cleaning recommendation, this item uses double-sided tape to attach to the basin. Hence, you can't (aren't supposed to remove it to wash). Moreover the tape doesn't last. I received this on Monday and installed it Tuesday morning. But Tuesday evening I noticed that the cloth was detaching completely from the tape on the far side.
You're best off replacing the tape with velcro. Luckily, I have some on hand.
On a positive note, it has a nice weight, not too thick or too thin and it made of good looking material. It's not plain white. It's a "shaded" polka dot background is a flat white while the "dots" are shiny white.
Buy New Fabric Sink Skirt - White Now
When I read the dimensions and measured my sink it looked like i needed 2 of them, so I ordered 2. I ended up only needing one, but I spent their cost in shipping as well so I didn't want to lose more money by shipping it back. It was sent promptly and does look nice. The pleats allow me to have items stick out a little further then the sink and still be covered as well. However, a few days after being up, the sticky stuff stopped working on part of it and I would come in to find 1/2 off it off the sink. I ended up buying and using Velcro to make it work. Although it's great now, I did have to make a trip out to buy the Velcro and spent more money on that to make it work. After that though, it's been great. This was the only place I could find that still makes & sells sink skirts though, so the purchase was still worth it to me.This pretty little sink skirt was just what I was looking for. I used velcro on the skirt / sink for an extra secure hold. So far so good. I still cannot believe I only paid $4.99 !!I bought the white, which is almost translucent and has a pattern with a sheen on it.In retrospect, like other reviewers, I would have just purchased a piece of fabric and put velcro on it.It looks so bad that the protruding pipes under the sink looked better without it.Will probably end up in the trash.sigh.
