The plastic tray can be rinsed off or wiped dry, either of which takes seconds and can be done daily or more often if desired. | I clean the dishrack often, but I wanted to know about the dishmat underneath.

Someone once gave me one of those mats. I didn't understand the purpose!
As for a dish rack, that I understand, but for me it's just more clutter on the counter. I'd rather spread out a towel, wash the dishes, and when they're away, the towel goes away also and the counter's clear. | The purpose is to collect the water that drains from the dishrack. Our dishrack goes level with the counter in the front so if there's nothing underneath, the counter will get wet.

I replace it every day or every other day. It gets soaked very easily with all the dishes dripping onto it! I go through about 4-5 dish/hand towels a day also, so the dish mat is just added to the pile in the laundry room and laundered every for days.

I do the same. I didn't even know these dishracks and dishmats exist. It seems to me like it's just another thing that clutters the counter and to have to look after. At the end of the day I throw all the towels in the wash.
But then again I don't have so many things that others deem as necessities.

Au contraire, ma soeur. Mine is years old and pristine. A quick shvenk oys and it's clean. Three seconds, literally. maybe five. The reason they get disgusting--and they do, they do--is that people just leave them with water standing in them forever and never clean them off. You know, I go to people's houses and see black crud around the drains in their bathtub or sinks. I take a tissue, wipe around the drain 1-2-3, literally a few seconds, and the glop is gone. I'm sure the balebostes never even notice, but it makes me feel better. It's all from leaving standing water. If people would just take the few seconds to tip the doggone tray into the sink after washing up and once in a blue moon bother to wipe the tray off with a rag, they'd have no problem. I don't know how they're not nauseated to see the crud and embarrassed to have company see it.
