How do you remove protective plastic from sink drain?

3 years ago

The plumber installed the sink drains yesterday and I noticed there's some residual blue plastic around the drain. Is this something I should bring up for them to fix, or is it something easy I can do myself? I tried pulling the little plastic that's there and it doesn't come off easily. Any ideas on how to remedy?

Plumber should have taken off the protective film before he installed them. I'd assume you'd have to loosen it back up to be able to get it off since it's wrapped around to the underside.
