I received a complimentary sample of the Original Dish Drying Mat from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes.

Facts: You can get one of these for $4.99

What They Say:

The Original Dish Drying Mat is the new solution to the age old tradition of placing dish towels on the counter when hand washing pots, pans, dishes, and glassware. The unique, laminated design combines a thin layer of foam between two layers of high quality, super absorbent microfiber. Superior absorbency; holds 4 times its weight in water Cushions delicate dishes and stemware Machine washable and highly durable Folds and stores easily Has multiple uses; try it underneath your dish drying rack in place of the plastic drain board. Place it underneath your appliances (mixer, blender, ect.) to protect your counter top from scratches and scuffs. Available in two different sizes and four colors.

What I Say:

I wash the majority of my dishes in the dishwasher, but there are always cake pans and such that I have to hand wash. I admit that once they are washed they can sit in the second part of the sink or on the countertop for days after they are washed because I am busy living life and sometimes I'm just lazy. I was sure when I got this that it is a wonderful product but based on what I know about myself I doubted it would be very useful to me. Once again my biased opinion before I even gave it a chance.
