Many kitchen sinks will include a main hole for the faucet and then a small installation hole typically reserved for a sprayer or soap dispenser. As an alternative, you could purchase a sink faucet accessory like a glass rinser. The small accessory can make a big difference in the way you clean cups and get through your dishes.

When you have a sprayer built into your main faucet, you could get more use out of the extra whole with a glass rinser installation. Learn more about glass rinsers, their uses, and how to compliment your faucet with the add-on.

Glass Rinser Use

A glass rinser includes multiple jets that spray water at high speeds to clean out glasses. The small circular profile provides compatibility with a wide range of cups. Once a cup is pressed down, the water automatically shoots from the nozzles to clean the glass.

The water will shut off once pressure gets released. You do not need to worry about turning a switch on or losing your grip on the glass. Everything is done with the cup itself. The product includes a drainage spout where the excess water falls right into the sink. The rinser goes just over the edge of the sink to prevent any excess water on the rest of the sink.

Types of Cups

Despite the name "glass," the rinser works with all kinds of cup materials. You could rinse everyday plastic cups or remove dried cream and coffee from a wide range of mugs. New parents can easily clean baby bottles when they press the bottle on the rinser. If you have ice cream cups, then the rinser can clean little bits of ice cream and stubborn toppings like hot fudge.

If you use a mixer for smoothies and other liquids, then the rinser also works with the mixer cup so you do not need to soak cups or wait extended times to let them soak.

Glass Rinser Installation

The installation of a glass rinser is fairly easy. With the water shut off, the rinser slides into the hole and is tightened underneath the sink. Models may vary, but a large bolt and washer will typically hold the rinser in place. Much like a sink sprayer, the main line of the rinser attaches to the water inlet line of the sink.

Installation instructions are easy to follow, typically with no drilling or extra construction required.

Shop around to find faucets and accessories like a glass rinser. The installation can help you save a lot of time on dishes.
