Diatomaceous Earth Dish Drying Pad...no, wait, take out the "Earth." Diatomaceous Dish Drying Pad - say it 5 times fast. I'll hold while you look up how to pronounce "diatomaceous" like I did.

We've seen diatomaceous earth, a sustainable form of fossilized aquatic organisms called diatoms, used before in decorative household items. Previously, it was bath mats, thanks to the compound's ability to absorb water quickly, and its cool, minimalist stone look. The dish drying pad takes advantage of these same qualities in its own iteration, combining compressed diatomaceous earth with recycled paper to create handsome 24" x 16" roll-up mats they say can hold up to 150% of their weight in water, which then evaporates in seconds.

Compared to dish towels and other drying pads, the Diatomaceous Earth Dish Drying Pad won't stay damp and soggy for hours, and therefore won't start to smell rank or encourage bacteria / fungal growth.
