Dorai Home Dish Pad – Quick-Dry Diatomite Stone Drying Mat for Kitchen Counter, 19.9" x 15.2" x 0.52", Sandstone

One of the best purchases I've ever made. These mats are lovely, perhaps buy a darker stone, if they have darker colors, because they will stain, and the downfall is, no matter how hard to sand.. it won't come off. I love how sleek the design is, non toxic materials, enough space to leave a good amount of dishes, cups, utensils to dry, or even fruits and veggies after washing. Dries so well, cleaning it is easy. Worth the purchase. Great for a gift idea as well.

I hesitated to spend the money on this, but I’m SO glad I did. A MUCH better visual than the old wire dish drain we had on a dish mat that would get weird. I love the silicone frame that prevents this from sliding around. The overall look of this is just so much more pleasing and we’ve had no issues with standing water or smells. The directions say that you can sand spots off… I’ve not had any issues with spots (and I don’t think I would care); I just make sure to clean it up every once in awhile to knock of crumbs/dust and give the silicone a wipe down. With the Dish drying rack we are able to fit pretty much all of the dishes we need - I could go for the drying rack having either more knife slots and/or bigger cups for utensils.

Have had for six months, and this is a fantastic option from Dorai! I live in a small, restored farm house there is minimal counter and cabinet space in the kitchen, a small double compartment sink, and no dish washer - so yeah, this gets used! A small drain rack for one of the compartments would not have worked well, and counter top drain racks are bulky - these are also hard to clean properly, can rust if not plastic, hard to store when there is not a lot of cabinet space either. Dorai to the rescue, truthfully! The Diatomaceous stone works as advertised. I love the silicon cover that allows the dishware to be raised up a little bit, and it protects the stone and counter from each other (DO NOT USE WITH MARBLE countertops per the company instructions though. I love that I can take the silicon off to clean it. I read reviews and remember some saying it mildews, I HAVE NOT had this problem at all. A tip, the mat does beautifully to soak up water and dry out, but I still generally let a lot of water drip off in the sink before putting onto the stone. If A LOT of water collects in a section of the honeycomb-ish silicon cover, I do a quick dab up with a clean, dry towel so the mat can absorb and dry out more efficiently. Perhaps this is how I avoid mildew? MUST HAVE for people handwashing a lot of dishes!

I NEVER write reviews so please trust me when I say, this is a horrible product. Yes it looks lovely. Yes it is clean and minimal and aesthetic. But does it work? No. It gets moldy in all its silicone cover corners and if you don’t give it a good, deep scrub at least once a week, your dishes are essentially drying on a bed of mould. The stone itself doesn’t just magically dry up. Under the stone, I always find a pool of water collecting. I feel live I’ve been catfished! I’ve had this for over a year and am over it. If I reviewed this a week after arrival even I would have said “wow amazing” but having used it regularly, I know better. Please skip. And Dorai- I would LOVE to hear from you on this! (The last shot features the bottom stone flipped over upright. I was scrubbing it down with soap. You’ll notice that the stains are still present!)

I love this mat. As soon as it gets wet, it dries almost immediately. This avoids the problem that cloth dish mats have where they remain wet and can get mildew. The price is pretty steep, but I expect to have this for a long time so it’s worth it

I didn’t want a big, bulky dish drying rack for my camper van, so I gave this a try. Works well! Folds and stores away easily when not in use. Interior captures water and grips plates and utensils. Only downside is you can’t stack items vertically. They lay flat on top of each other, so you can’t add as many items. But for a few plates and cups, it works fine.

Must have in your kitchen! It really absorbs the water and keeps counters clean and dry. Folds away nicely and saves space. Very good quality. And excellent value!

This is just what I was looking for! I hate ugly mats in the counter that never seem to dry and don’t match! This mat is perfect for our needs. It looks nice and dries quickly.

Bought it 6 weeks ago. Unfortunately, as in the picture, it turned yellowish and started moulding.

Yea it’s expensive but I threw out all my cloth dry last. This one absorbs so well and looks so nice on the counter. You can fold it up if u wish but I leave it on my counter. So many stated it stained and provided a poor review. Well you shouldn’t place anything that will stain on it. It’s meant for glasses dishes and cutlery. If an item may extract a liquid other than clear don’t place it on the mat.

I have never owned a more stylish dish drying mat. It is easy to store and dries very quickly. The silicon cover protects glasses and breakables, yet provides sufficient drying functionality. I would recommend this and this would make a great House warming gift!

This is a great item for the kitchen. It folds and stores easily, and dries completely in minutes - absolutely love it

Love using this! Way better then the other options out there for drying dishes
