Refurbishing Rubbermaid Drain Boards

I have Rubbermaid drain boards on the counters next to my sink. They had begun to look faded from being cleaned all the time. We have very hard water and I use vinegar to remove calcium deposits. I got tired of looking at them so the other day after cleaning them once again, I grabbed the liquid car wax and spread it on. I let it dry and then polished it with a soft cloth. They looked almost new again!

I use an old cafeteria style tray to hold my dish drainer, then store in the pantry between uses after pouring accumulated water down the drain and wiping with a sponge. A cookie sheet with edges would work as well.

I also have very hard water, and the Rubbermaid Drain Boards were so difficult and time consuming to clean that I now use clean towels instead. They work great and can be dried out quickly; I'll never buy another regular drain board again.
