Dish Drying Mat, Kichen Mats, Easy clean, Heat-resistant PVC Mats for Kitchen Counter, Coffee, Bars, Restaurants Counter Top, Kitchen Mat Contain Diatomaceous earth (20x16 Inch Black-White Plaid)

Couldn’t be happier with the mat. It absorbs water falling from dishes and keeps my countertop clean. This mat is very well made, and the colors are beautiful. It lays flat and is easy to wipe clean. I haven’t had it long enough to know how durable it is but so far so good. I love it and would recommend it. It does complement our kitchen teal theme. I would definitely give this as a gift or have another one.

This drying mat is totally different than what I thought it was going to be. All the drying mats I ever had were cloth, like a terry cloth with some kind of foam adhered between the two pieces of material. But this is rubber. So it's not moving from the counter unless you literally pick up the whole thing. At first I wasn't too thrilled with a pattern but I needed something, because the holidays are here I've been doing a lot of cooking and so there's far more dishes than normal and my little dish strainer does not hold that much. So that's where this comes in, and let me tell you, it makes me want to redo my entire kitchen. As I just love the pattern and the colors. I want to do my floors in it and my cousin enter tops, something close to it. It just brings a bright spot to my kitchen cuz my kitchen is pretty plain. It's just white with white linoleum some kind of marble fake looking texture stuff, so it's pretty bland but this just brightens it up! I love it! It does absorb very well. I don't have to wring it out or anything when I'm done or hang it up to dry. So whatever technology or voodoo they use to do that, kudos. As far as the price point, it's probably worth it. I ust never had one before so I don't know how to gauge that. Cuz mine have always, like I said before been cloth and they were pretty cheap. But I highly recommend this. I just wish I can get several of them and line my counter tops and floor with it.

I use this mat to catch the water from my utensil basket on my over-the-sink dish drainer, and for any over flow that's not reasonable to set over the sink, or wont fit due to excessive amount to fit. I love the way this immediately absorbs the water so its really great to set my ball jars on to dry and it kind of pulls the lingering drops out before I put them in a box til next year, and doesn't leave the counter damp underneath. Plus looks really great on my counter. this could be easily rolled up and put in a drawer daily if you chose to, but since it looks so great I just leave mine out. This item will not disappoint.

Dish Drying Mats, Kitchen Mats, Easy clean, Eco-friendly, Heat-resistant PVC Mats for Kitchen Counters, Coffee, Bars, and Restaurants Counter Top, Contain Diatomaceous earth (16x12 Inch Black-White Plaid)The padded counter mat comes very simply packaged in a plastic sleeve. When you open the package, there is a moderate smell of plastic from its manufacturer clinging to the piece. I'm sure that will go away in a short amount of time. Unrolling the mat, there's still a bit of flex in the mat so that it doesn't want to lay completely flat at first. [I weighted it down with a couple of heavy-ish pots overnight, and it straightened just fine.] The top of the mat feels like a combination of fabric and faux leather, but it is fairly smooth and seems porous. The middle part is a soft absorbing foam with a rubber backing so that once you've got it set where you like it on the counter, it's not likely to move easily. You can wash it to clean off drips or stains, but it seems to take a long time to dry.All in all, it is an attractive and functional mat.

Pros:• Size was what I needed and accurate in the product info; big enough to fit a 12 inch pan plus several items around it next to my dish drying rack• Easy to clean, which is beneficial to reduce cross contamination• Seems thinner than other dish drying mats, but thick enough for adequate padding & water absorptionCons:• Not much of one, but the pattern may be too bold for some; would be nice if a more subtle look is available, although I'm not going to ding this product for it, since I knew what it looked like when I ordered it, and I'm fine with the pattern myself

The media could not be loaded. I was surprised when I received this mat because I was expecting the common fabric type of mat. This one has a rubber underside and what appears to be a plastic upper side. I thought that this mat would never absorb water, but I was wrong! As you can see from the video, this mat is surprisingly efficient in wicking up water. (This is NOT a time lapse clip; it’s real time.) As you can see in the photos, the mat is attractive and can be used under dish drying racks. My wife and I are glad we chose this mat; we only wish it were a little bigger.

I'm using this for under my dogs' water bowl bc they spill it constantly or drip water after drinking.This mat seems to be perfect! I'm constantly cleaning up water and since getting this I'm not having to do that!It does seem to absorb all the water. It's also a great size. I am not using it for dishes as it's meant for but I'd still recommend.
