Problem
You’ve got only a few dirty dishes so you really don’t want to run the dishwasher. But after you’ve washed and rinsed them by hand, you need a way to let them air dry quickly and cleanly, without leaving the countertop full of wet towels that could harbor bacteria. What to do? A dish rack isn’t the answer—not only does it take up valuable counter space, but its slick, wet surface can become grimy quickly.

Solution
Pile dishes high as you save time and eliminate the “wet towel/dish rack” dilemma. Our super-absorbent Dish Mat allows dishes to cleanly and cost-effectively air dry, while you go on to more important things. In addition, the Dish Mat itself dries quickly, which means a cleaner surface for next time.

• Use with microfiber side face down and mesh side face up for maximum absorption and quicker drying.
• Great for use with hand-washables like crystal, baby bottles, pots and pans or small dish loads
• Great for granite countertops—no more wet towels to leave water spots!
• Use loop to hang for drying, then fold in half to store.

Caring for Microfiber

• Slightly dirty microfiber can be washed with Norwex Dishwashing Liquid under warm running water and used again before laundering. Rinse thoroughly after washing and air or machine dry.
• Heavily used mats should be laundered using a Norwex laundry detergent, which contains no fillers. Do not use bleach, fabric softeners or dryer sheets.

• Save time by letting your dishes air dry as you do other things
• Constructed of a triple layer of Norwex Microfiber, foam and mesh

• Mesh layer separates dishes from wet microfiber and foam
• Dish Mat’s ability to dry quickly means a cleaner surface with less chance for bacteria growth

• Air-drying is a great way to ensure that harmful bacteria doesn’t grow on dishes. In fact, an FDA food service industry code (4-901.11) specifies that all dishes should be air-dried before being stacked and stored.
• Some kinds of plastic containers may break down in the dishwasher and leach harmful chemicals. Put only dishwasher-safe items in the machine.
• Even though using a dishwasher may be more energy-efficient and conserve more water than washing dishes by hand, there are still times when handwashing is preferable, like with delicate items or plasticware that isn’t dishwasher-safe. Use the Dish Mat to safely air-dry these items before storing them.
