SKU HM1H89_8
This faucet mat is crafted from diatomite stone, a naturally porous material that absorbs water quickly. Placed around a kitchen faucet, it captures splashes and drips from hand washing, dish rinsing, or filling pots. The absorbed moisture spreads inside the stone's pores and evaporates rapidly, leaving the surface dry within a few minutes. This reduces the frequency of wiping down the countertop and prevents standing water from causing stains or damage. The mat also serves as a sink protector, cushioning the impact of dropped utensils or heavy cookware, which helps avoid scratches or chips on the sink surface. Unlike fabric or silicone mats, the rigid stone does not warp, trap odors, or encourage bacterial growth. Beyond the kitchen, this tray works well in bathrooms, RVs, or bars, where it can catch drips from soap bottles, toothbrush holders, lotion pumps, or beverage spigots. The light grey color complements various decor styles and hides minor discoloration over time. For cleaning, a simple rinse under running water removes soap residue and dust. If the surface becomes less absorbent after extended use, light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper restores its original performance. This mat is intended for single-hole sinks and requires a flat, unobstructed area to lie properly.
