Fast, hygienic drying made from natural diatomaceous earth. Absorbs water instantly, speeds evaporation, and keeps countertops clean and dry. Key benefits Rapid absorption and quick drying: Made of natural, safe diatomaceous earth with water absorbency. Absorbs most surface water in seconds and releases it quickly, helping plates, glasses, and utensils dry faster and more hygienically. Secure, nonslip base: A silicone rubber foam backing with a dense antiskid texture holds the mat flat on wet or smooth countertops and keeps tableware in place without slipping or curling. Longlasting and odorresistant: More durable than cloth drying pads—resists fading, pilling, deformation, and persistent smells over longterm use. Fast drying reduces the chance for harmful bacteria to grow. Lowmaintenance cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth or rinse under water when needed, then hang to air dry. Do not machine wash or place in a dishwasher. Do not twist the mat, as twisting can leave wrinkles on the leather surface.
