Review: The Original Dish Drying Mat

Source: Google Images

Another product I am happy to review! This month, Influenster sent me a whole box of goodies called a Naturals VoxBox. I will be doing the next few product reviews all together because this is the best box, so far, and I don't have time for posting individual ones. But let me start here, it's just that handy:

Name:

The Original Dish Drying Mat

Claims:

- Superior absorbency; holds 4 times its weight in water

- Cushions delicate dishes and stemware

- Machine washable and highly durable

- Folds and stores easily

- Has multiple uses; try it underneath your dish drying rack in place of the plastic drain board. Place it underneath your appliances (mixer, blender, etc.) to protect your counter top from scratches and scuffs. 

Made From:

The website description: "The unique, laminated design combines a thin layer of foam between two layers of high quality, super absorbent microfiber." 

My  Original Dish Drying Mat in use, in our tiny kitchen.

Cost and Size:

The smaller size that I recieved (16" x 18") retails for around $4.99 USD, X Large (18" x 24") price not listed on the website yet. But it is probably only a few bucks more.

Does it Work:

Yes! If I didn't say so before, I am really excited about using it in my kitchen. I prefer to wash dishes by hand, and don't like drying them in the dishwasher. I felt like having a plastic drain would be unsanitary, so I never bought one. Dish towels get and stay wet too long. So this is perfect. It dries quickly so I can put it away when finished.

Buy it Here: 

It can be found at Bed Bath Beyond, the official website, or if you happen to be a product reviewer like me, get if for free! If you must buy it though, consider the money well spent. Because, I was eyeing the mat in stores well before it came to me in the mail, so wow. Can't complain.

Also:
You can use the tab on the end for hanging it out of the way, when not in use.
