InterDesign iDry Kitchen Mat Solid, X-Large, Black

This iDry Kitchen Mat XLarge 24" x 18" is just what I needed for my kitchen sink counter. When my dish drying rack is full, I'll start putting wet dishes on the mat. Since it's an extra-large, I can fit large pots and plates on it. It's a lot thinner than your typical plush drying mat, but I don't see it as a compromise since it still does the job. Since it's thinner, it doesn't come out of the dryer with weird creases and makes it easier to store in drawers.

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.
