Draina - Absorbent Diatomite Drying Mat

A mat that drinks. Set the draining rack on it and the puddle that usually creeps across the worktop is gone before you have put the pans away.

• Diatomite surface absorbs water on contact instead of spreading it
• 40 × 50 cm — takes a full draining rack, a kettle or a coffee machine
• Non-slip backing, so it stays put when you drag a wet pan across it
• Dries out again on its own; no wringing, no washing machine
• Seven colours, from pale grey to deep green
• Rolls up flat when you do not need it

A tea towel under the draining rack is wet within a minute and stays wet all day. Diatomite works differently: it is a porous mineral that pulls water into itself and then lets it evaporate, so the surface is dry again in a matter of minutes without you doing anything. That makes it the right thing under a rack, a kettle, a coffee machine or the spot by the sink where everything gets set down dripping. At 40 × 50 cm it covers a real working area rather than a token square, and the backing grips the worktop so it does not slide when you drag a wet pan across it. Care is nothing: let it dry, and if it starts to look tired, rub it lightly with fine sandpaper to open the surface again. It is a mat, not a cloth — do not put it in the washing machine or wring it out.

It absorbs, it does not spread
Diatomite is porous mineral. Water goes into the mat and evaporates, rather than sitting on top and finding your worktop.

Dry again in minutes
No wringing and no laundry. The mat resets itself between uses, which is why it can live under the rack permanently.

Big enough to matter
40 × 50 cm takes a whole draining rack. Small mats just move the puddle to the edge.
