We always have the problem that dish holders / dish strainers are hard to clean or if metal they rust. Does anyone have a suggestion for a dish holder that is easy to clean. There is Amazon but I don’t want to go through a thousand reviews.
I dont like to see drainers on a sink but do have a white plastic see thru drip tray that can be put away when not in use. but if your looking for a real dish drainer Best Stainless Steel: Simplehuman Compact Steel Frame Dish Rack. The simplehuman Compact Steel Frame Dish Rack is made of naturally rust-resistant stainless steel with soft-coated steel wire that prevents scratching.

We've switched to drying mats. Much easier to clean, easier to store, and if they get dirty, they are dishwasher safe. They dont hold items upright, but the only time we find that to be an issue is when we host and use non-dishwasher safe china - but we typically hand wash, dry and put right away anyway. A bonus is they are heat safe and can be used as a trivet.
Do you want a drainer, or a strainer? Strainer to me means the little basket in the sink. Drainer is the wire thing that you set on the drainboard (nowadays you'll almost certainly need the angled tray that goes under it) to drain water off your dishes before you give them a final dry and put them up.
The latter is typically a $10 item ($20 with the tray under it, which you need) at the hardware store.
Since the dishes are clean when you put them on the rack, I'm not really sure what you think you need to clean. I'd just stick it in the dishwasher occasionally if you're worried about it. The tray under it, you just wipe it off. If somehow your clean dishes draining on it make it dirty, wipe it off with a soapy rag and rinse it off.
When these components get all old, bent, cracked, etc., you typically throw them away.
Really, I think we've all spent far too many electrons on the subject already.

Get aluminum- cheap or 100% copper- not copper colored - expensive, but antibacterial. Woodis another option.
The “stainless” will rust- it is made cheap and iron migrates through chrome in stainless.
Even vinyl coated would show rust
Another option is all plastic if you don’t mind the look
The Simple Human dish drainer works well. The only issue I have with it is the design is slightly non-traditional so you have to stack the dishes a little differently. I have not seen it rust in 2 years.
