One item that every kitchen can benefit from is a reliable dish mat. Sure, laying out a dish towel every time you need to wash pots and pans works, but it isn’t always as effective as having a mat to absorb water and help avoid making a mess. That’s why we are so excited to share that one of our favorite brands for cleaning tools and supplies, Full Circle, offers a stylish two-in-one dish mat and rack that will make your entire dishwashing experience smoother. Because we already love Full Circle kitchen tools, including an affordable cast iron brush, we’re confident that this versatile dish rack will be a super-helpful addition to any sink setup.

The Shape Shifter Dish Rack from Full Circle is perfect for plates, flatware, glasses, and more. Instead of leaving you to figure out how to place all your items of different shapes and sizes on the same drying rack, this “shape shifter” provides an open surface, so everything fits more easily. The metal racks can hold large or small plates, as well as items that are usually awkward to stack, like cutting boards, baking dishes, and cast iron skillets. One reviewer wrote, “I have a lot of vintage/antique dishes of different sizes and they all fit great on the rack.”

Just like other products from Full Circle, you can rest assured knowing that the Shape Shifter is sustainably made. The mat is made from recycled polyester with charcoal-infused foam, so bacteria and odors stay out. There’s also a mesh side that’s designed for stacking bowls and glasses without condensation building up underneath. And if you need more space, you can remove the rack entirely and just use the mat. Even better, the mat is machine washable, and you can pop the metal racks into the dishwasher.

Even when it’s in view as your dishes dry, the simplistic look of this sleek dish rack will make your space look clean and refined. Between uses, the mat folds up and fits snugly between the racks, so it’s easy to tuck away under the sink.

Dishwashing is already enough of a chore — let this duo mat and rack do some of the work for you!
