Foldable Diatomite Dish Drying Mat

Draining boards leave puddles and fabric mats stay damp for hours. This one is diatomite bonded to PVC: the porous stone surface pulls water off glasses, mugs and cutlery and lets it evaporate, so the counter underneath stays dry. Unfolded it gives you 15.75 by 11.81 inches of drying area, enough for a sink's worth of washing up at once.

Lay it flat beside the sink and stand wet items straight on it. A rubber non-slip base grips the counter so the mat does not slide when a heavy glass bottle goes down on one corner. Once the washing up is done, fold it and slide it into a drawer or cabinet rather than leaving it on show. Wipe spills promptly: coffee and wine will soak in if left, and the surface is meant to hold water, not stains.

Routine cleaning is a rinse under the tap. For marks that have set, the included sandpaper takes a thin layer off the surface and the mat comes back looking new, which is why it outlasts a cloth mat that would go grey and start to smell. It comes in gray or white, both neutral enough to leave out permanently. It suits small kitchens with no draining board and anyone who hand-dries glassware, bottles or utensils.
