S&T INC. Dish Drying Mat XL 18" x 24" absorbent kitchen mat 🧽
Description:
This extra large dish drying mat offers roomy coverage for countertops and can handle plates, utensils, pots and pans while keeping surfaces dry. The absorbent microfiber construction soaks up spills and standing water, making it a practical choice for everyday dish drying and temporary protection of counters.
Key Points
The mat is made of microfiber polyester that absorbs multiple times its weight in water. It lays flat on the counter and folds for easy storage when not in use. The reversible design gives two usable surfaces and helps extend the mat's life by alternating sides. Consider that according to the manufacturer the fabric absorbs about four times its weight, which is useful for heavy dish loads but may require occasional wringing out for very wet pots. 🍽️
Benefits
This pad reduces countertop mess and protects finishes from watermarks and heat from recently used pans. Its soft texture helps prevent scratches on glassware and nonstick surfaces while dishes air dry. The lightweight, foldable nature makes it simple to stash in a drawer or hang on a hook between uses. For kitchens with limited draining options, the mat serves as a compact alternative to rigid dish racks. ✨

Usage Recommendations
Place the mat on a flat, dry area of the countertop for best drainage and airflow. For heavy cookware that retains heat, let items cool slightly before placing them on the microfiber to avoid moisture trapping and to preserve the fiber structure. Wash the mat in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle and air dry or tumble dry low to maintain absorbency. Rotate sides regularly to even out wear and prolong useful life.
