Abstract
A drying mat is described. The drying mat includes layers of a microfiber material and a foam layer. The drying mat may be used as dish mat to absorb water from dishes. The dying mat may be used as a shower or bath mat to absorb water from a bather standing upon the drying mat. In one embodiment, the drying mat includes a first microfiber layer, a second microfiber layer, a foam layer, an adhesive to join the first microfiber layer and the second microfiber layer to the foam layer; and a binding material around a perimeter of the drying mat. Other embodiments include an absorbent or protective mat, which includes at least one layer of a microfiber material, at least one layer of a foam material, and adhesive to join the layers.
