Question: My rack is in a space that it would be a pain to take it out from underneath it every time (no dishwasher) Does anyone leave it for a week or so?
Document: This is very attractive, but it is not real bamboo. It's a fast drying absorbent cloth. You do however, need to pop it in the dishwasher every week to prevent mold from forming on it. If you maintain it, it's great. If you just let it sit under wet dishes, you will have mold appearing within a few weeks time.I've gotten 2 of these and the 2nd one did last longer before the mold set it, but it will inevitably happen.
unfortunately grew mold underneath after a month of use with washing every week, looks nice then is, very thin and was not water proof
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.
My bamboo dish rack goes end to end on this with no extra space for hanging utensil bins. Otherwise, I love it.
I was pleasantly surprised by this mat. It is a good size and fits my bamboo rack pretty well. It is great for drying knives, etc. that you don't want to put in the dishwasher. As advertised - no leakage. Thanks
It is working like a charm. Nice large size as well. Absorbs water wonderfully. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of ugly plastic dish drains as I was.
I questioned whether or not the Dry Mat would really hold up to it's description of soaking up the water along with not leaving it damp underneath. It surprised me how well it does though. I use mine under a countertop dish drainer and it works wonderfully! I may order another one. Great product.
We aren't really using it. There was still water getting underneath.
The perfect solution for that little bit of dishes that do not fit in the dishwasher or you do not want in the dishwasher. Keeps everything so much simpler that putting up the big drain trays.
I discovered these dry mats a year or so ago, and I used them all the time. Great for keeping kitchen counters dry. I like the different color choices. There was only one color when I first learned about them.
Answer: I leave my dry mat on counter all the time. It's great. You can even cut it smaller to fit your space.
