Norpro 18 by 16-Inch Microfiber Dish Drying Mat, Grey (359G), Pack of 1

I got this microfiber drying mat in the color grey which works very well with the other colors around the sink. It's attractive and very easy to clean. Just the right size for my counter. Works well under a drying rack or can be used alone for dishes, utensils, pots/pans. Very versatile, compatible with any sink type.

I like this drying mat. It’s my second time buying it. Is big enough, absorbent, nice color and texture, dry fast

I love this dish pad. I had to buy a new one because of a water issue at my home and I immediately reordered this same pad. It's washable, a good size, and nice thickness.

I use this on my kitchen counter so wet dishes can dry on this (highly) water-absorbent mat. It really does the trick! It is just the right size for my needs and I recommend it to others.

I've been using this dish mat for a few months now and so far I love it. I don't hand-wash a lot of dishes so when I do I hate having the hassle of digging out the dish-rack and then putting it away once the dishes are dry. I tried using dish towels, but that wasn't a great solution, either. So I decided to give this mat a try. It's not huge, but it's big enough to hold things like my crock-pot and stock pot which are too large for my dishwasher. With the padded surface, I'm not worried about chipping my more delicate items - wine glasses, good china, and the like. This pad is very absorbent. There has been no water on my counters (unlike using towels) and no mildewy odour, either The pad is small enough that I usually leave it out since it's not eating all of my counter space. When I don't want it on the counter, it's small enough to fold and slip into a drawer or cabinet.

I am very pleased with this dish mat. I use an in-sink drainer for plates and silverware but needed additional drying space for bowls, pots, knives, glasses, etc. without having to permanently set such space aside. Enter this dish mat. It can be folded up or hung over my oven towel rack when not in use and placed on my counter only as needed. It is highly absorbent. My counter stays dry underneath. Plus items stay wherever they are placed on the mat; they don't slip around. The size is perfect and the color is neutral. I can't think of anything else I could have expected from this item. Even the price is great. Definitely five stars! UPDATE- I have been using this product for a little over a year now. I have machine washed and tumble dried it several times. It still looks as good as new and functions as well also. I find it still has the high absorbency that made me love it in the first place.

I have been using this type of drying mat for many years since I bought my first set of 2 at Costco and loved them. The ones that I bought at Costco were excellent quality and since then I have not been able to match the quality of those from Costco until now. (can't find them at Costco anymore...) These Norpro mats are number 1 seller here on Amazon for a reason! They are certainly much better quality than these that I purchased several months ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RUB9W8S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 which are lighter/thinner and don't absorb nearly as much as the Norpro. I ordered two of these for our vacation home and back to buy 2 more for our home. They are perfect size for my needs. I like having several at home as I use some for dishes and others for draining washed veggies and such. I always hang them by the loops to dry as otherwise they might begin to smell like mildew if you leave them flat on the counter wet. These are a must have staple in my home and beat the pants off space hogging dish draining racks in my opinion. Highly recommended! ***$7.67 at time of purchase

I bought this quite a while ago, previously I had one of those cheap plastic dish drying racks that comes with a plastic tray - well that got dirty fast enough. after a while of using it and gotten to the point where no matter how much I wash or scrub at it, the...stuff just won't come off, I decided to finally buy a new rack that's stainless steel. For the tray though, I was worried something similar would happen again, and I find the larger trays really hard to wash, so I decided on this mat instead. No regrets! this thing soaks up the liquid fast and easy without any seeping, and dries really fast too. I find it really nice to be able to just pull it out and toss it in the wash when I need to wash it. convenient! overall I really like how clean this makes my kitchen area and my dishes!
