Drying dishes question...
This is really random, but where do you put hand washed dishes to dry? Dish drying rack? Some kind of mat? We used to just keep a dishtowel on the counter next to the sink, but it got really wet and DH is afraid it will not be good for the counters. So I'm looking for another option, but I kind of hate the drying racks...

We have a dishwasher, but especially with DS's stuff, we hand wash a fair amount.

Is it silicone or microfiber? I am leaning towards one of these I think.

Microfiber
Sometimes when I hand wash stuff, especially bigger stuff like pots/pans I stick it in the empty dishwasher to dry. Not sure if that would work for you?
We have a wooden drying rack w/ a plastic liner underneath it. We hand wash a good number of pots/pans and lots of our plastic (sippy cups and DD's plates) need to dry more when they come out of the dishwasher.
The rack folds up, but we rarely put it away.
If I overflow the regular drying rack, I put pots on the stove grates to dry.
We used do the drying rack thing but I got sick of it and now we use this from bbb

Ours is grey and I love it since I can tuck it away if we're having folks over .its microfiber and washes well.
