The large 24.6\" x 16.5\" sandstone-finish mat handles multiple plates, glasses and utensils while compressing to a third of its size when not in use — ideal for kitchens that need performance and tidy surfaces.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this mat dry dishes faster than a towel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core material is compressed diatomaceous earth that wicks and evaporates moisture rapidly, so water leaves dish surfaces and the mat itself rather than staying trapped like fabric.
