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

This "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-American-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.
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. 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! Soft Scrub with Bleach is helpful for removing stains but excessive surfactants may cause clogging of the surface so use only as needed rather than as a daily routine.
