THE DISH DRYING MAT
Now, I know what you're thinking "A dish drying mat? No thanks, I'll use my dish towels." I know this because I thought the same thing at first. But let me tell you something, my dishwasher is broken. I have four boys in my house who feel the need to eat continuously. At any given moment of the day I have dishes drying on my counter...and no dry dishtowels. Now I actually have a towel to dry my hands on when I need one.The Dish Drying Mat must be filled with some type of alien-technology foam. Okay, not really. But it seems that way because it absorbs more water and dries more quickly than my dish towels. I love that! Plus the foam makes the mat very sturdy. I can dry my wine glasses and pitchers without worry of them skooching around or toppling over.
And on top of all that - it's pretty! I love when a product is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The Dish Drying Mat comes in a waffle pattern and lots of pretty colors to choose from. I have three mats, one each in cream, sage green and red (my favorite!).I can hear you now. "Cheryl, my dishwasher is in perfect working order, I don't need a Dish Drying Mat." But you do! These mats are so versatile. You can use them for:
- Drying produce (place your fruits and veggies on the mat to dry)
- A beverage station (at your next party place self-serve drinks on the mat to soak up sticky spills)
- A homeschool experiment mat (I'm thinking exploding volcanoes and chemistry experiments)
- A diaper changing mat (lightweight, absorbent and folds up very small)
- A washable piddle-pad (for your incontinent pet)
- Padding for storing china
- A bath mat

I would really love one of these for drying dishes, much better than damp rags lying around on the counter.
