Key benefits Keeps countertops dry and clean: absorbency microfibre surface quickly captures drips from cups, plates and racks to prevent water marks and stains. Protects surfaces and glassware: moderate thickness cushions dishes and glass to reduce scratches and breakage. Stable, safe placement: diatomaceous/rubber nonslip backing grips countertops to prevent the mat and kitchenware from sliding. Heat and water resistant: backing is waterproof and heatresistant so the mat works near hot items and wet sinks. Features Material: microfibre layer for fast absorption and stain masking; moderate thickness for surface protection. Rapid absorption: quickdrying, waterwicking surface that draws moisture away and helps items dry faster. Nonslip base: diatomaceous backing combined with rubber properties provides strong antislip performance and waterproofing. Multifunction: designed as a draining mat but also usable as a heatresistant pad, countertop protector, or pet food mat. Practical uses Under a draining rack: place beneath dish racks to catch drip water and keep the worktop consistently dry and tidy. Under coffee machines or kettles: protects counters from coffee spills, steam and occasional splashes while providing a stable base. As a heatresistant pad or pet mat: use under hot pots or pans when resting on the counter, or under pet bowls to contain spills and protect the surface. How to use Place the mat directly on the countertop or beneath draining equipment. The nonslip backing will adhere to the surface and help keep kitchenware in place. Suitable for protecting sinks, tableware and glassware from scratches and for everyday drying tasks. Materials and performance summary : microfibre — absorbency, quickdrying.
