"Excellent kitchen mat"
I have been using this for a while, it has survived the house I bought it for and two subsequent house moves.Bought for the kitchen, I have used it in front of the sink and cooker. It doesn't move, soaks up any spillage of liquid from the sink and isn't slippery if peelings get underfoot. It is easily brushed over when sweeping the kitchen. I have machine washed it (ocassionally) and it comes up really well. I intend to buy another and would definitely recommend this mat. For the price it is excellent value.
