If I tried drying dish cloths on it, do you think it would rust?

In my opinion, if you only did it occasionally, I don't think you would have problem with rust. It's made very well and I absolutely love it for my mugs.

I have a counter question, why would you dry dish clothes on this one :). I just got this a month back so not very sure whether it would rust. I do keep my little wet glasses on it. Will come to know about the rust in some time (although I don't think it should rust) :)

Surely you jest! It's made primarily for mugs and such, so I hardly think since mugs may be wet, the company would hardly make the stand of something that would rust, especially at 40 bucks a pop! The answer is NO ~ it won't rust! Maybe if you leave it out in the rain a few years.....

I had the same problem. I bought this item thinking it's Made in the USA and won't have any problems with it. The thing got rusty after ONE wash. I only use normal dish soap, wipe area where my cloth can reach and then hang it dry on the dish rack. How do you guys take care of yours? Shall I just spray it with WD40? Not worth sending it back since I'm not in the US.

I use it quite often and then clean and dry it by hand and have had no problem with rust as of this date. Care in washing and drying it well is the Key

I have not had the item long enough for it to rust, but just from examination of the product, I doubt that rust will be a problem. The rack is in my basement which while not wet, is not completely dry. I think that I could not say for sure that it does not rust for a few months at least.

My guess that it would rust eventually especially around the welds. The metal is coated but I do not think it would hold up to the constant splashing of water in a kitchen sink.

It won't rust, but if you leave it wet in your sink, you'll get a few spots that will polish right out. I would call it stain-resistant.

I would not put them in the dishwasher and in fact, have had to replace the entire rack due to rust. I am very dissatisfied with the purchase.

I would imagine not. It will only rust if exposed to water or damp surroundings I love mine and will order more when I get my new house. It saves heaps of space in your cupboards and allows you to see what's at the back hope this has helped you

I have had mine a long time, no rust. But, in addition to wiping mine dry I let it air dry some more. Then, I reassemble it and put it away.... Great item!!

I did. The item has a coating on it to prevent it from rusting. Wash well with soap and water, let dry and it should be fine.

Not safe. Hand wash & towel dry according to use & care instructions which I have followed and no signs of rust in over a year.

Unfortunately, I have... It's not super noticeable and I still love the dish rack, but yes there is some rusting.

I have never had a problem with rust, ever, and I put it in the dishwasher (supposedly a real No,No for knives or scissors). If you really do have a problem, I'd do what another respondent suggests about drying it right away and spraying with oil.

I have owned this towel rack less than a month, so it would be too early for rust x but the metal has a finish that would likely resist corrosion for a good long while. It looks decent and is quite practical. And...is not as expensive as others I have compared. I hope that is helpful.

We live in Tucson, AZ where it is very dry, with little humidity. I had a similar drying rack for years that did eventually rust. This is why I plan to spray the sides with a product that will protect it. Hopefully it will last for years.

If you don't dry it properly, it will rust - just like a cast iron frying pan.I saw the reviews about rust and made sure to wipe it down (to get rid of any excess water) after washing it and then letting it air dry fully before storing it.I would imagine that people in high humidity areas would have more trouble, too.

I have not had an issue with rusting. As with any metal you want to wipe them dry before putting them away. I wash mine in the dishwasher and love them.
