The Jayobgo Ice Maker Mat is a composite protective barrier designed with a Diatomaceous Earth (DE) core for rapid moisture sequestration. The top layer is a permeable technical cloth that pulls water away from the appliance base, while the bottom is a high-friction rubber blend that keeps the mat secure on the counter. Unlike standard sponge mats, the DE core facilitates quick evaporation to prevent mold growth. It also serves as a sliding surface, allowing users to move heavy ice makers forward for refilling without lifting them.
Specifications indicate the mat is effective at preventing heat-transfer staining from ice maker compressors onto delicate wood or laminate surfaces. However, it is important to ensure the countertop is dry before placement to prevent the rubber backing from sticking to certain finishes over time. If the mat is used with coffee or other organic liquids, the core may retain odors, so it is best suited for clear water spills associated with ice production. The reinforced stitched edges are designed to prevent the layers from separating during use.
Practical Advantages
- Diatomaceous Earth core provides superior moisture absorption and evaporation.
- Low-friction top surface allows heavy appliances to slide for easier access.
- Heat-resistant materials protect countertops from compressor warmth.
This sliding mat is a great addition for the HealSmart countertop ice maker, especially in tight kitchen corners.
