A good stone drying mat, like the Dorai Stone Dish Pad, is primarily made of diatomaceous earth. This natural material is composed of the fossilized remains of a type of algae called diatoms. Diatomaceous earth is highly porous, which allows it to absorb moisture quickly and effectively. This rapid absorption in your dish drying stone helps prevent the buildup of mold and bacteria. The material’s natural composition also ensures it is non-toxic and eco-friendly to make it a safe and sustainable choice for home use. Additionally, our dish drying mats are designed with a food-grade silicone mesh to enhance airflow for even faster drying. With Dorai, enjoy home essentials that are built with a sleek, minimalist design that complements modern kitchen aesthetics.

In a diatomaceous earth mat like the Dorai Stone Dish Pad, water is absorbed into its porous structure. The tiny, microscopic pores on the surface of the dish drying mat draw in moisture through capillary action which allows it to evaporate quickly. This instant drying feature helps prevent the buildup of mold and bacteria to ensure the mat remains dry and hygienic. Over time, as your dish drying mat airs out, the absorbed water simply evaporates and leaves the surfaces ready for their next use.

In the event that your stone dish mat gets stained, it can be cleaned in two ways. For light stains or scuffs, use the included sandpaper to gently rub off any marks. We recommend doing this in a well ventilated area. For more extreme stains on your stone drying mat for dishes, small amounts of white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide will do the trick. You can view our full Care and Cleaning guide here.

Due to its porous nature, marble and other natural stones are sensitive and prone to discoloration or staining, especially when not sealed. We do not guarantee Dorai products like our stone dish drying mat on these surfaces. For more information click here.
