Pat Erley, Maker of Dripsie, kept running into the same headache when he would clean his toddlers' sticky plates in the sink. He couldn’t seem to find a kitchen sink strainer that would fit inside the drain, didn’t have a bulky rim, or would actually do the job of keeping the drain unclogged of the unfinished food his toddlers would leave behind. After learning CAD and creating multiple iterations, Pat landed on the perfect sink strainer design.

Pat partnered with friend Eric Frank and together they brought the dream of Dripsie to life. They are now producing a clog-free, rimless, and flexible kitchen sink strainer made in the USA. Pat’s toddlers are still making a mess, but the clean up is easier now that he has Dripsie.
