Question: I have those drying mats that are 100% polyester foam and the dishes don't dry on them, so I'm using a rack.  Will this mat absorb water better?
Document: I love this mat placed under my bamboo dish rack. It is beautiful and works well to absorb water drips from the dishes.
This works much better than the drying mats I was previously using. Dries quickly, no mold or stains, looks beautiful.
Drying mat works well, but it does pill considerably upon washing.I live in a humid climate (Puerto Rico) so I have to hang it to dry within hours of doing dishes or I'm likely to get that sour mildew smell. Because I have a compact kitchen, I needed to be able to cut the mat to size and, unlike the others, this mat can be cut.It's a bamboo print, not actually bamboo.If you're a stickler for aesthetics, you might not like this mat.
This is the best of the 7 drying mats that I have had. This one can be left on the counter without fear of mold or mildew. It absorbs water nicely and the plastic backing keeps the counter nice and dry. Love this mat.
This drying mat does the job. It allows dishes to dry easily and the material itself dries quickly. I bought this to replace a previous one that I'd had for a year that got stained from people spilling food on it. It is quite thin and lays flat so dishes don't tip over. I've seen other drying mats that are thicker but not as stable and take longer to dry
I put this dish mat underneath an IKEA ORDNING bi-level dish rack to dry all my dishes. I got two of these dish mats so I could alternate/wash one each week with my laundry. Upon removing the dish mat at the end of the week, my counter was soaking wet and there were obvious soak through spots on the bottom of the mat. Good thing 1 week was not enough for mold to grow on the counter I have.
I put this mat under my bamboo drying rack and it works wonderfully. I'm thinking about buying another for cutting up fruit and vegetables.
I first encountered this mat in my sister-in-law's RV. We live on a boat, so I'm always looking for more efficient ways to enhance our living space, and when she told me that this was far and away the best dish drying mat she'd ever used in her 60 years, I was intrigued. Several days worth of dishes were dried on it and, after they were put away, the thing dried in what seemed like minutes. She'd never washed it (ew.)
My wife uses this mat for its intended purpose, to drain dishes after washing. She puts the bamboo drying rack on top of this mat and the combination works very well. If the boss is happy, everyone is happy.
I like the idea of the mat, but it does tend to get moldy unless you dry it our everyday. It does an excellent job of air drying the dishes. I have waged it several times and it does wash well.
Answer: I feel that these do better than the foam mats. I use a drying rack too, but use these for breakable glasses and when I have an overload. I did notice that some mold developed on the bottom when it was on a wet counter for awhile.
