the original :: dish drying mat {giveaway}

Posted on August 2, 2012August 2, 2012 by Jaime

We have the pleasure of doing our dishes because we don’t have a dishwasher.  Who’s in the same boat with me? I know we all just hate love it.  This also involves the people that have special dishes that can not be put in the dishwasher.

I was able to review The Original Dish Drying Mat.  This dish drying mat cushions your delicate dishes and stemware.  What is so amazing is that it holds four times its weight in water, this mat is extremely absorbent. Folds and stores easily. it measures 16″ W x 18″ L.

Being able to test this mat out was great.  It seriously does hold a ton of water so you don’t have all this water all over the counter like you would with a regular towel.  It was really nice to not have to wipe up all of water that is left behind.  Very easy clean up and my dishes were dry pretty quickly.

The Original Dish Drying Mat :: $4.99
