The Drymate Dish Drying Mat is the solution for keeping your kitchen countertops clean and dry, and protecting them from scratches, scuffs, and spills. Our mat is great for air-drying dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, pans, and fruits and vegetables. The low-profile design allows moisture to evaporate quickly and adds stability when drying stemware or other delicate items. The absorbent fabric contains liquids and the waterproof backing prevents them from soaking through. The backing is also slip-resistant, which helps to keep the mat securely in place. Our mat is durable, easy to clean, machine washable, and Proudly Made in the USA. WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: For results, simply rinse off or gently spot clean, and then hang to dry. We recommend only machine washing if the mat gets extremely dirty. If using a washing machine, wash SEPARATELY on a delicate cycle and hang to dry. DO NOT BLEACH. Please Note: Washing with other items causes friction which can lead to pilling on the material.
