InterDesign iDry Kitchen Mat Solid, Large, 18" x 16"

This dish mat is the perfect size for my household which is good since the space counter I use to dry dishes, is not that big. It also fits well under my dish rack which is a normal size dish rack. It is just thick enough that it can absorb water while keeping dishes sitting up without falling as well as not making the dish rack lopsided. I usually keep it under the dish drying rack but will also use it alone while the rack is put up. This matt absorbs water pretty well and it is way better than just using a regular towel when I am trying to keep my counter dry. It does keep the counter dry even when I load it with some wet dishes that sometimes have a lot of water dripping off. After I am done using the mat, I notice it does not stay wet long at all, and dries fairly quickly which is a plus since with towels, a smell can occur but I have not noticed this smelling at all. And when it is time to wash, it's machine washable and cleans up well. It also folds up well when I don't need it all. Definitely worth it for my household.
