Details

Set this stone next to your sink and place all your freshly washed dishes on it to drip dry. Unlike a dishtowel or padded cloth mat which gets soaked quickly and starts smelling bad if left wet, this drying stone will absorb a huge amount of water from your dish-doing activities and air dry like magic! And it’s so much cuter than those grey rubber mats! It’s like having a cheery dishtowel spread next to your sink but ever so much more effective.

This drying stone is made from diatomaceous earth, which is a powder of tiny, fossilized sea creatures. It is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal, as well as being unbelievably absorbent.

I have used mine every single day for over nine months and it’s almost never not covered in a pile of drying pots and pans - but it’s still somehow magically never dripping wet. I’m totally addicted to mine!

About the Design

The "Paris" design is based off an antique, 19th century French silk fichu - but I've done it in a simple, Prussian blue colorway in order to channel a more cheerful-Americana-bandana-farmhouse-kitchen-dishtowel vibe. Because it was originally a French design and because I was sitting in a coffee shop in Texas called the "Paris Coffee House" when I finished it, I thought that "Paris" seemed like an appropriate name for it, despite it being not technically Parisian in any way.

The “Rosetta" design is a combo mashup inspired by two wildly different antique textiles - and I think the finished product turned out to be far more than the sum of its parts! That terrific border is based off an absolutely amazing tiny hooked rug that I found in an antique store in southern Idaho, and the floral center is riffing off a 19th century French chintz. (And if you have a drying stone with roses on it, how can you NOT call it the Rosetta Stone?)

The Yarnton Design is actually based on a sample from a 19th century book of embroidery embellishments. The calm, neutral, bisque colorway is a fabulous backdrop for other stronger colors, or for sitting lightly in a neutral kitchen. It’s named for the lovely little English sandstone cottage we lived in when my kids were little, as the colors remind me of English stone.

Care

Every so often, let the stone dry completely out in a well-ventilated place. If the surface becomes dirty, give it a scrub and rinse. Like a good pair of jeans, the design may fade with use and regular cleanings. Do not soak it in water for a long time.  If it absorbs colored water, it may remain as a stain - so set your teabags elsewhere! To deal with regular stains and grime, sprinkle the stone with baking powder, scrub with salt, and one half of a lemon, and rinse.

Absolutely beautiful! It's the perfect pop of color that our kitchen needed, and I'm so glad to be done with gross drying mats made of who knows what toxic material. Love that these are made of DE. Beauty and function all wrapped up in one!

I received 2, 1 of them was broken, but the other was great. And beautiful, it just seems like it easily scratches though. I only paid for 1, so it wasn't a big deal. I just tossed the one that was fully cracked in half

Love it, such an elevated solution and much better than the melamine tray and dish towel combo I have been using in the same spot. Between baking utensils, cocktail glasses and water bottles, there is always something that needs to be hand washed. This is the perfect solution for air drying. Excellent customer service too.

The drying stone is absolutely beautiful! I knew about the absorbency due to using a similar product as a bath mat. This is just so pretty though! I got one for my mother-in-law when they first came out and decided I needed one too! Maybe make an autumn themed and a Christmas themed one next! I like to switch out for the different seasons and holidays!

I absolutely love these drying stones. They add such beauty to one’s kitchen and instantly become a hardworking tool in the kitchen. They are easy to clean, don’t smell, absorb lots of water and look good while doing so!

Decent drying board so far, definitely looks cuter than other options on the market especially if you enjoy graphic prints in your home. I have a suggestion to make this a 5 star product-seal the edges. I keep my boards stored on their sides when not in use and the edges are vulnerable to chipping. Cost is significantly higher than others out on the market, but I still think these are worth it for their function and aesthetics :)

I’ve been using it for a solid week before leaving a review. Beautiful colors, larger than I anticipated, and works amazing! We even got spaghetti sauce on it on accident. I wasn’t thrilled but came out with little work!! Highly recommend!!!

I love my Rosetta drying stone. It is beautiful! I thought it would be heavier, but was surprised that I was actually glad about that! It feels almost dainty and the design was less vivid than expected. However, it does it's job like magic. I dinged it in less than a week. Boo hoo for me. I still love it and am happy about spending my Christmas cash on it!

How incredibly gorgeous and handy the drying stone has been! This has saved me from drippy counter spots and so may soggy dish towels! My rishes dry quickly on it and it is stylish at the same time!

I LOVE my Drying Stone! It's GORGEOUS, and my dish rack fits on it perfectly! The best part is that I no longer have to deal wth water accumulating on one of those plastic draining boards, causing a slimy, moldy mess. My Dry Stone is absolutely worth every penny!

My drying stone arrived just in time for Thanksgiving. I love the pop of color it adds to my kitchen. I like how it absorbs moisture quickly. I received prompt service. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. As a side note, I noticed a few scratches on mine the first day I used it. Just a caution to be careful when setting sharp knives on it to dry. I’m also careful to not place any cups with dark liquids like coffee, tea or grape juice because the stone is porous and will stain,
