Wool Dish Drying Mat - Gives to Common Ground Relief, Coastal Climate Credits

Wetlands are nature's sponge and our dish drying mat is an all-natural option for your sink area. It retains moisture as your dishes dry, wool is naturally antimicrobial, absorbs moisture, and evaporates it. The light grey color is practical for long-term use with water, coffee stains, etc.

** Need a completely different size? Send us an email & we can create a custom invoice for you
How to care for: Soak in cold water with light soap, spot clean food stains. Can lay to dry on the counter or in the sunshine. More info on wool felt cleaning here. If you wash in the dishwasher, it will shrink around 1/4" overall (in our tests). Pro tip: Do not put in your clothes dryer on hot, that will turn wool objects into miniatures.

**Invoices are not included with packages due to many orders being sent as gifts, however you will receive an email receipt in your order notification email.
**Orders sent First class USPS don't automatically include insurance. Insurance is required in order to replace orders that have gone missing during shipment (a thankfully unusual occurrence). Priority USPS, UPS, or FedEx orders do include insurance for the value of your order. USPS claims can be filed here, FedEx here, & UPS here. Heads up that FedEx & UPS claims are far easier to submit and to actually receive payment for damaged/lost goods.
**Returns/exchanges - Unfortunately these are not possible due to the hygienic nature of the soaps and body care products. Made to order items are also not possible to return or exchange. For the rest of our items, if items are not damaged, an exchange is possible within 14 days of purchase with proof of purchase. As a small business, we are not able to pay for return shipping.
**Shipping Internationally: We are happy to ship to you wherever you are in the world! Just select your country from the list and when shipped via USPS, estimate 7-15 days for arrival. If shipping via USPS, tracking and insurance are sometimes unavailable, so we are not able to guarantee your package against being lost or stolen. (We haven't had any issues to date, knock on wood.)
**We frequently use upcycled shipping boxes & protective shipping materials, including bubble wrap, compostable shipping peanuts, & recyclable air pockets.
**Sales or discounts do not include gift sets, books, first aid kits, or Little Sun Products.
**Glycerin Soap - High quality glycerin soap naturally attracts moisture from the air. If your soap has a little of the protective waxed shipping tissue stuck, give your Bird or Bar an initial wash, this is completely normal for a handmade soap. The BirdSoaps are carefully wrapped in 100% recycled tissue paper to protect their shape during shipping.
