What are stone drying mats?

The stone drying mats made popular by social media are made from a natural material known as diatomaceous earth (DE). DE is made from the fossilized remains of ancient algae – called diatoms – and is known for its immensly absorbant and naturally antibacterial qualities. Therefore, kitchen drying mats made from DE will absorb water quickly and are an excellent option for drying dishes, glasses, and utensils.

Absorbent and antibacterial: Their ability to soak up water rapidly keeps countertops dry and hygienic. They also help prevent bacterial growth and odors, keeping your kitchen smelling fresher. 

They are hygienic: Because these mats quickly draw in moisture, they keep your kitchen countertops dry and reduce the chance of bacteria growing.

Aesthetics: Their sleek and simple design means they’ll fit beautifully into minimalist and modern kitchens.
