Efficient And Spacious Drymate XL Dish Drying Mat: Waterproof, Slip-Resistant, And Trimmable - Perfect For Your Kitchen Counter (Surf Green 3) Review

2ND REVIEW, 1ST BELOW:I love these mats, have ordered them several times. I only wish they had different choices in color/design and the grey diamond pattern I have been ordering is not available at this time.Anyway these are awesome, they not move/slip around, super absorbent, washable and waterproof, spills can be quickly and successfully removed with dish soap and your dish cloth, and look nice on the counter for when you're handwashing a few dishes/pots and pans that will be put away soon…

Update:We’ve had this for a couple months now, and have washed it with towels 4-5 times. It pills and sort of sheds fibers, making it look raggedy. Wish it would be more durable. I do love the fact that it dries quickly and is non-slip.We are actually using this as a bath mat when you get out of the shower in our camper. I wanted something small, slip-resistant and would dry quickly. This is perfect! I’ve only washed it once, so far it seems fairly strong.

Purchased 3 of these, gave 2 as gifts, perfect for housewarming gift box. Love the size, pattern, and thickness, washes decently on cold delicate or cold handwash, then hang to dry. After about 5 months it does pill up a little but still looks decent and works well 8 months later, happy with how has held up. Will say that if you have a large batch of dishes sitting on it and the mat gets saturated with water, the backing will stick to the counter a little, a little moisture can soak through but

It’s very absorbent and it’s a really good size for drying large pots and pans. I hand wash my InstaPot pieces because it takes up so much space in my dishwasher and this comes in handy. It also gives my kitchen a pop of color. If you don’t have the counter space, you can just cut it in half and you’ll have 2 on hand and the edges won’t fray. When everything is dry, I just fold it back up and stick it in my cabinet. I give this an A+.

I bought this because it was the exact size of the space I've been drying my dishes in. For years I've been using two smaller Kitchen Aid brand name drying racks. When I received this one I was disappointed by how thin it was but decided to use it anyway. SUPRISE! Yes, it's thinner - but it actually works better than the branded ones. The water evaporates away within the day rather than just sitting there wet like my old ones. Color me pleasantly surprised! I can't comment on durability or…

Think i was expecting a little more thickness. I guess that being thin makes it easy to fold. It works ok. Definitely can't imagine that it will hold up for a ling time. I only need to use it now and again so it is what it is.

This drying mat is the best I've ever used! To say I'm happy is an understatement. Silly to be so excited over a drying mat, but when you spend half the day in the kitchen, these things become important! I was so tired of the old lady looking puffy mats sitting out on my counter, and they get stinky so quick.This drying mat is sleek, Laying almost flush with the counter top, and looking all pretty sitting there.The rubberized backing keeps it in one place, not sliding around.

I was gifted one of the padded drying mats in a brown color a few years back. It worked fine but it was bulky and not non-slip and when we redid our kitchen I wanted something that fit better in our style. I looked around a lot! This mat fit the bill; it was the right large size, low-profile, non-slip, looks good, and was a good price. I’m very happy having this on my counters to dry knives, pots, pans, and other kitchen tools that shouldn’t be put through a dishwasher.

I cut my mat into 5-inch-wide strips and notched it to fit around my kitchen faucet to catch random water drips. I was able to cut at least two mats so that I can rotate daily to let them dry out. I love it because it is a custom fit and no more puddles forming on my countertop!

I am very pleased with this mat! It is very different from most mats you see hanging in some aisle at the grocery store, kitchen store, etc. I like its low profile and love its being completely immovable. It will not ever slide one bit!It is also super absorbent! With my past dry mat, made with fabric over foam and a very open backing, it could get quite wet while tackling the occasional, monster pile of dirty dishes. You know, situations involving loading up the mat, pausing washing of dishes…

I didn’t purchase this item exactly for its intended use, but it works well for my needs. We have hardwood floors in our new-to-us house and a senior cat who has a hard time maintaining traction while she sits to eat. This was the perfect size for her to sit and eat/drink, and the rubber backing keeps it from slipping on the floor. As a bonus, it absorbs any water our cat knocks out of the bowl and makes clean up easy. I admit that I expected it to be thicker, but it’s perfect for the cat as…

I WAS DISAPPOINTED UPON OPENING THE PACKAGE AND FOUND SUCH DEEP FOLDING LINES. THEY PROBABLY WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR. COULD HAVE BEEN PACKAGED BETTER.

Just a flat thin piece of some magic absorbent fabric. Not hemmed. Not thick. Not quilted. Not lined. But they do work. And they wash nicely. I have a love-hate with them.

This is a great little mat. It blends in well with my neutral countertops. I cut in half, so it would fit the area I needed and now I have two! I tossed one half in a lingerie bag and washed it today with some other line dry items. It did great. It’s on a drying rack and looks great. I may buy another one, so that I have a couple to go through before I do laundry.

I have a top mount sink and a 4" wooden "backsplash" that's been getting ruined and moldy from years of puddling. I was able to easily cut this material and it fit snuggly to prevent any more water from pooling because of the grippy rubber material on the back. Plus, it's easy to wash, doesn't fray, and I have oodles more to cut later as needed.

This looked nice at first, and dried well after water dripped on it. I used it under my dish drainer. After awhile it got a little dirty on the edges and I tried wiping it clean with water and a towel, but it needed more. I put it in the washer, and hung it to dry. It came out clean, but there is now lots of fuzz on it. I wouldn’t get this kind of material again…it’s kind of like a felt. As soon as I find something I like better I will have to throw this one away.

I was pleasantly surprised in the durability and quality of this drying mat (so far). We were using paper towel or kitchen towels to dry dishes before - leaving those towels soaking wet. This has a wicking quality that dries very well and leaves no pooling water. After a few weeks, I moved the pad and it was firmly "stuck" to the quartz and I had to peel it up, there were just a few slight water lines where it made an impression from being on the counter. You'll probably want to move this…

I should have bought this a LONG time ago! The plastic tray I used to have under this rack was not cutting it. It was just short of catching all the water and with an old crooked house, it would run all over the counter and onto the floor. Not with this! I started thinking an absorbent mat would be the way to go, and this ROCKS! It's got a coated, stay-put backing. Not a drop of water anywhere. I keep lifting the bottom of it up to feel for anything and my counter is bone dry. It's definitely…

I love the large size. The back is coated with rubber. My counter top never gets wet. Dries quickly. You can wash in the machine but pills do form up on it. I have a pill shaver so I use that. Great if your sink is raised above your counter to use under dish drainer.

Placed this on top of another mat I have (not a dryer mat) that completely covers my stove top and is meant to protect it. I wanted something that was almost size of that to place on top of that to use as an extra protection, work space when stove is not in use and sometimes as an extra drying space. This is colorful, easily wipes clean and fits the purpose. Hard to find dryer mats large enough - will probably buy a second one.
