Plain-colored dried food mats are functional, quick-drying drainage mats featuring a solid color or minimalist texture without complex prints. They rely on capillary absorption or composite structures to quickly absorb and evaporate water. Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and pet areas, they combine efficient drying with a clean, modern aesthetic, fitting multiple practical scenarios.
Plain-colored dried food mats are a subcategory of drying mats. Unlike printed or patterned mats, they feature a single color, matte, or subtle textured design. Their primary function is to hold residual moisture and speed up drying, preventing countertop dampness and bacterial growth. Ideal for homeowners pursuing minimalist aesthetics.
| Material Type | Core Composition | Absorption Principle | Key Features | Color Adaptability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diatomaceous Earth | Diatomaceous earth + natural binder, high-temperature firing | Capillary absorption through micro-pores (≥80% porosity) | High water absorption (120mL/100cm²), fast-drying, antibacterial, mildew-resistant, inorganic surface, easy to clean | Solid colors (white, gray, beige) match Nordic or minimalist styles, fine matte texture |
| Microfiber | Polyester-nylon blended microfiber (0.1–0.3 denier) | Capillary action in fiber gaps | Fast absorption, soft, surface-friendly, washable ≥200 times | Solid colors (black, gray, blue) match kitchen/bathroom decor, easy integration |
| Silicone Composite | Food-grade silicone + absorbent cotton/net | Silicone directs water, inner layer absorbs | Waterproof, non-slip, heat-resistant (≤230℃), easy to clean | Solid colors (transparent, off-white, light gray) fit countertops, clean and simple |
| Bamboo Charcoal Fiber | Bamboo charcoal + polyester blend | Micro-porous absorption + fiber water lock | Absorbent, breathable, antibacterial, deodorizing, eco-friendly | Solid colors (light brown, dark gray) suit tea sets, coffee areas, natural look |
| Double-layer Composite | Top absorbent fabric + bottom waterproof layer | Top absorbs and locks water, bottom prevents leakage | Side-leak prevention, multi-scenario suitability | Solid color on both layers, fits flower pots, pet areas, or other leakage-prone spots |
Flat Matte Surface: Smooth or lightly textured top, common in diatomaceous earth or silicone mats, ideal for flat-drying dishes. Matches minimalist kitchen aesthetics.
Textured 3D Surface: Fine drainage grooves or non-slip dots, combining function and aesthetic solid color. Prevents items from sliding.
Foldable / Hanging Type: Diatomaceous earth or microfiber mats with foldable designs or hanging holes for easy storage. Solid colors integrate seamlessly when hung.
Composite Non-slip Type: PVC or rubber bottom layer with solid-color absorbent top. Ideal for bathrooms or pet areas, ensuring safety and stability.
Diatomaceous Earth: Fired at high temperature with physical mineral coloring, matte surface, no chemical coating, eco-friendly and safe.
Microfiber: Color applied via solution-dyeing or standard dyeing; uniform, fade-resistant, edges neatly finished to prevent fraying.
Silicone: Colored during material preparation, no post-printing required, heat-resistant, color-stable for long-term use.

| Category | Typical Range | Suitable Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Kitchen: 30×30cm, 40×30cm, 50×70cm; Pet: 60×90cm | Kitchen dish drying, pet feeding area |
| Thickness | Diatomaceous Earth: 0.8–1.5cm; Fiber: 0.3–0.8cm; Silicone: 0.5–1.2cm | Kitchen countertops, bathroom sinks, balcony plant areas |
| Absorption Speed | Diatomaceous Earth: 30s to absorb 2–3× its weight; Fiber: 10s to absorb 6–8× its weight | Quick dish drying, bathroom utensil drying |
| Temperature Range | Diatomaceous Earth ≤60℃; Silicone ≤230℃; Fiber ≤40℃ | Kitchen cookware insulation, bathroom high-temp environment |
| Lifespan | Diatomaceous Earth: 7–10 years; Fiber: 1–3 years; Silicone: 3–5 years | Long-term home use, suitable for frequent cleaning |
Minimalist Style, Practical and Aesthetic: Solid color design fits Nordic, modern minimalist, and industrial styles. Integrates seamlessly into kitchens, bathrooms, and other spaces.
High-efficiency Drying, Antibacterial & Mildew-resistant: Diatomaceous earth and similar materials achieve 99% antibacterial rate; fiber mats are easy to clean and leave no residue. Solid-color surface reduces bacterial breeding.
Durable and Easy Maintenance: Diatomaceous earth resists wear, microfiber mats washable ≥200 times, silicone mats resist aging. Solid surfaces reveal stains for easy cleaning.
Non-slip and Leak-proof, Protects Surfaces: Composite non-slip bottoms prevent sliding. Waterproof bottom layers prevent moisture from reaching wooden or stone surfaces.
Kitchen: Dry dishes, utensils, coffee machines, water kettles. Catch spills around sinks and countertops to prevent dampness and mildew. Solid colors easily coordinate with cabinets and countertops.
Bathroom: Dry toothbrushes, cups, skincare bottles; absorb water on bathroom floors. Solid colors complement minimalist bathroom designs.
Pet Area: Pet bowls, water mats; catch spilled water and food debris. Solid colors hide stains and are easy to clean.
Other Home Uses: Plant mats for catching watering overflow; drying mats for electronics. Solid colors remain unobtrusive on desks or counters.
Diatomaceous earth mats: Avoid drops or heavy impacts to prevent cracking. Avoid sharp objects that can scratch the micro-pore surface.
Fiber mats: Avoid high-temperature drying to prevent shrinkage.
Silicone mats: Avoid open flame or sharp objects to prevent damage.
| Material | Washing Method | Drying Requirement | Regular Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diatomaceous Earth | Wipe with damp cloth, occasional vinegar soak to remove residue | Air-dry in ventilated, shaded area; no direct sun or high heat | Every 3–6 months, lightly sand with 400–600 grit paper to restore absorption |
| Microfiber | Neutral detergent, ≤40℃, gentle machine wash or hand wash | Air-dry, avoid direct sun | Comb fibers after washing to maintain fluffiness |
| Silicone | Rinse with water or wipe with damp cloth, can be disinfected at high temperature | Air-dry, no special requirements | Avoid contact with oils to prevent aging |
| Bamboo Charcoal Fiber | Hand wash with neutral detergent, ≤30℃ | Air-dry in shaded, ventilated area; avoid sun | Regular airing to maintain adsorption |
Kitchen: Choose light gray/off-white diatomaceous earth for quartz countertops; black microfiber mats for oil resistance and easy cleaning.
Bathroom: Transparent/light gray silicone mats for waterproof, non-slip; bamboo charcoal fiber light brown for antibacterial/deodorizing, natural look.
Pet Area: Deep gray double-layer composite for leak prevention, stain resistance, and easy home integration.
