InterDesign iDry Kitchen Mat Solid, Large, Gray

For the past year, since moving to a home without a dishwasher, I have been using a towel under my wet, clean dishes. The problem is, the towel always ends up soaked & stinky. I decided to try this iDry Kitchen Mat, and I'm so glad I did. Not only does my kitchen counter look more tidy, but it dries so quickly that there's no time for it to get stinky. I absolutely recommend getting one of these.

The first thing I noticed about this dish mat is how thick it is, very absorbent and very soft. We often lay dishes on it that are still dripping wet. It leaves a large wet spot that dries quickly and never soaks through to the bottom. We have been using a towel on the counter and so this is a welcome addition. You could lay your dishes directly on there or you could set a dish draining basket on there; either way it will not leave you disappointed. The color is a dark brown and even though it doesn't match the colors in my kitchen, it just somehow blends in. I highly recommend.
