Details

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

 

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 “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?)
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. Remember that the stone itself is already anti-bacterial!
