Why you need this mat Dries dishes faster and more hygienically: The natural, safe diatomaceous earth surface soaks up most water in a few seconds and lets moisture evaporate quickly. This reduces standing water on plates, glasses, and cutlery so items dry faster and the countertop stays cleaner. Keeps items stable and prevents slips: The nonslip silicone rubber foam backing plus a dense antiskid texture hold tableware and appliances firmly in place on wet or smooth surfaces — no sliding, no curling up. Protects both tableware and surfaces: A soft cushion layer cushions glass and ceramics to prevent chips and scratches while also protecting your countertop from damage.
