Drain covers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grates

(Other definitions for grates that I've seen before include "Rasps or irritates" , "Rasps against, food or nerves" , "Makes rasping sound, hard on ear" , "Rubs harshly against, perhaps on nerves" , "Makes harsh noise by rubbing - on nerves?" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
