Highly Absorbent: Made of high-quality microfiber (polyester) with polyurethane foam padding, this sink mat serves as a soft protective surface for kitchen utensils, cutlery and crockery; it quickly absorbs water from the dishes so that the countertop remains dry and the dishes are not damaged. Air circulation layer: this drying mat consists of a mesh layer filled with 100% polyurethane foam, which lets moisture pass through to an absorbent terry layer for optimal drying. Air circulates to keep the mat dry. Multifunctional: you can place it under a dish drainer to catch drips and keep the counter dry and clean, or you can place the dishes directly on the carpet. It can also be used for pets: place it under their water bowl to keep the floor dry. Machine washable: just put it in the washing machine when it's time clean it, then tumble dry it on low heat. So you can use your drying mat again and again Foldable, easy to store: when you don't want to put it on the counter, it's small enough to fold up and store in a drawer or a closet. It can protect your countertop from scratches and scuffs when placed under small appliances such as a blender.
