How do you dry the mat once your dishes are dry? Thanks!

I let it air dry on the counter. A few times I've shaken it dry in the sink when I have wanted to get it out of site. I've also put it on the top rack of my dishwasher when it needed to be cleaned.

Once I dump the water that collects in the sink, I usually either pat it dry with a towel, or hang it on a hook to dry. It dries quickly.

Just wash with soap and water and then I drape it over a bottle or glass to dry on my drying mat.

Do not use empty trays while drying. Use as many or as few as you need. It helps to rotate top trays to bottom and bottom to top every 2 hours.

__I soak the mat in the tub with Pine Sol cleaner, usually for an hour or two. I put the mat in, have diner, then return to the bathroom, brush teeth, shave, scrub the mat with a stiff brush, and finish off with shower for the evening. My experience with other mats, brands is putting them through the washing machine greatly reduces useful life span.

I rinse it and dry with paper towel. Roll in zip lock and put back in little container it comes in.

Hello there - We do not put our mats in the dishwasher because of the high temperature in there. The plastic might warp from the heat in a dishwasher. However, we have WHITE mats in use on both sides of out kitchen sinks for months now, and they keep clean very easily. Food doesn't stick to them, and most stains can be washed off just with dish detergent. Spice stains (kurkuma, curries, etc) disappear with a few drops of chlorine bleach. Bottom line: We would NOT put these mats in the dishwasher. Hope this helps you.

I use warm water and dawn foaming dish liquid. A mild scrubber is all it takes. Towel dry do not let drip dry. You should be ok after that.

Simple dish soap and water, just like a sponge. Make sure you wring it out really well. Give it a good squeeze to get out most of the water so bacteria doesn't grow. Then let it dry out. It won't take long to dry if you wring it out well. In case you haven't noticed, that is the key.

Try using Dawn dish soap and a scrub brush to clean off any dust or cat hair that may accumulate on the mat, then just rinse. It works great, just make certain you use a double dose of the dish soap.

I clean mine with regular Dawn dish soap and warm/hot water. Comes out like a charm. Then either towel dry or stand/lean on other dishes to air dry.

I haven't had that problem. I usually put a towel over the actual mat and hang the towel to air dry after using it. I then store the bamboo mat on its side, next to the bathtub. You may try putting the mat in strong sunshine for a few days, especially if you are in a dry climate. :/

Not drying... but not mat either. I have been using it for years for my wrinkles and is the best!

First of all. I bought a spare mat. So I can wash and dry one, while the other is in use. I put old newspapers in the tray to help absorb most of the moisture. Daily, hose the mat throughly first. then a little soap a little scrub and a second hose rinse. Finally, mist with chlorine based kitchen/bathroom cleaner. let it dry all night.I strongly advice to be sure theres are no traces of urine, before using the chlorine, as very harmful vapors may emanate if those two mixes.Keep in mind that we live in a small apartment, so the shower is the place for the mat cleaning.

Honestly I haven't had to really clean the mat. Usually I lay a towel on top while I am using it.

I agree with the others concerning warm soap and water. I would think a damp paper towel or rag would also do the trick. I've had mine for several months now and it doesn't seem to collect dust. I've just taken the covers (I own several) outside and shake them. If there's any dust, I'd assume it comes off then, although I've honestly not noticed dust coming off, but I do it just incase. By shaking them out, I don't need to wait for them to dry.

Place a few drops of water between the mat and the metal tray. Rub the mat back and forth on the mat to create a seal. It should stay in place for you.
