I have to confess — I have a leaky garbage disposal under my kitchen sink due to years of calcification from hard water. Now, it’s not so much of an issue that we need to call an emergency plumber, and we’ve caulked it for a quick fix. However, this slow leak causes occasional problems, and if left unchecked, it results in sopping wet wood that will become damaged or even develop mold if it’s not mopped up and aired out promptly.

That said, I sure wish I discovered Sdpeia’s waterproof under-sink mat sooner. This genius design comes in an array of sizes and sure would’ve saved me from the cabinet damage that’s already occurred. And it’s only $10 thanks to a double discount (just add the extra coupon) — a well worth it price to prevent all of the headaches I’d otherwise ensure. So, that’s it! I’m buying one today, and you should too.

Sdpeia’s soft and foldable food-grade silicone mat is all you need to protect the space under your kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Its excellent flexibility makes it easy to install, providing a perfect fit for most under-sink cabinets. And if your pipes get in the way, simply trim the mat and navigate it around the obstruction for a snug and secure seal.

This nifty cabinet accessory comes in 11 sizes and 17 colors, and its starry pattern sparkles in the light. It’s also BPA-free, non-toxic, water and dirt-resistant, and — in the case of emergency spills or leaks — can hold up to 3.3 gallons of water, depending on the size. When the inevitable dish detergent spill happens (Believe me, I’ve been there!), simply wipe the mat clean with a damp cloth and you’re good to go. This mat also features 0.7-inch high walls that keep spills or leaks from running over. The Sdpeia mat can also be used as a shelf liner, a pet feeding mat (no more worrying about spills, should you kick the dog’s water by accident), or a mudroom storage tray for dirty sneakers or wet boots.

Like me, one Amazon shopper sprung for this mat after experiencing two floods underneath her sink. They said it's “easy to install and flexible, as the rubber mat can be manipulated.” Another five-star reviewer bought this mat for newly installed kitchen cabinet protection. They said they had to cut it to fit around the pipes noting “it was no problem to cut” and “it laid flat right out of the package.” The reviewer also commended this mat for catching a sink leak right from the get-go. Another shopper said they use this mat in their garden window to house plants and catch overwatering spills, writing that “the color is a perfect match for my kitchen and it’s a perfect fit. I am looking into adding more of these in other places in my house!”

With thousands of five-star reviews, I’m convinced, and can’t wait for my mat to ship. If you have similar issues — or the forethought to prevent them before they happen — I suggest placing this mat in your cart, too. This small purchase could save you hundreds of dollars in cabinet repairs down the road.
