What happens here

Thoroughly clean the sink opening on both the top and bottom surfaces. Use a paper towel to wipe away the bulk of the old, hardened plumber's putty. Follow up with a sponge or scouring pad to remove any remaining residue, ensuring the surface is clean and smooth for a proper seal with the new strainer.

Goal: Prepare a clean surface for the new strainer.
