Envision Home 18-Inch by 24-Inch Microfiber Dish Drying Mat, X-Large, Black

great product blends with the black counter and does the job

Excellent product.

I am using this to dry my dishes and it does a perfect job and always stays dry. Well worth the price, since the quality is so good.

Nice product. Absorbs the water quickly and occupies less space in kitchen.

J'ai du faire erreur dans la grandeur , trop petit pour mon comptoir...

Great buy - absorbs water very well and I can throw in the wash if I feel it’s starting to get dirty

Tapis de vaisselle super absorbant

I bought this to use for the times you don't want to use your dishwasher such as a small meal or for those items you don't want in the dishwasher such as your pans or fine glassware. I didn't want an unsightly dish rack sitting on my counter and I have black counter tops and wanted something to blend in a bit and not worry about pans scratching the counter. This works perfectly, and I'm amazed at how much it can actually absorb. It's a nice size for multiple pans and dishes and you can just toss it in the washer machine to clean up, if needed. I would highly recommend.

Folks, there are some pretty terrific and helpful reviews at amazon.com for "The Envision Home Dish Drying Mat" that the buyer should look at before buying and using this product. The one that convinced me to buy it was written by Aceto on January 10, 2013; however, many others reported that this product needs to be prewashed with liquid detergent and tumble dried on a low setting before first use to prevent it from bleeding through on the countertop.We wash most of our products in the dishwasher; however, we have some crystal vases, glasses and delicate pieces that we hand wash, as well as pots and pans and extras that will not fit into the dishwasher. We have been using dish towels up to now, but this product is so much better.This durable mat combines two super absorbent microfiber layers sandwiching a thin but absorbent layer of foam and holds 4 times its weight in water. It dries quickly, folds and stores with ease, is attractive and the perfect size, at 16 by 18 inches, to fit on my counter top.Although this item looks like it could have many uses, the directions specifically say that it is not to be used as a pot holder, oven mitt, or hot pad, but works perfectly as countertop protection from scratches and scuffs from mixers, blenders, etc.I like the fact that it is the correct thickness of a sturdy surface to safely dry delicate glassware without the need of hand drying them.To top it off, this product has a free of charge replacement guarantee for the material and workmanship.While the mat has a piece of material on one corner of the backside to fit on a hook for drying, mine dries quickly on the counter.This product fits my needs, looks good, is priced right and just the right size and color for my kitchen.If you follow the directions and use it properly, I think you will like it too.Enjoy!
