Pick 0041 · Silicone sink splash guard mat
A slanted silicone mat does keep the counter behind the faucet dry, because the slant returns water to the sink instead of letting water sit on the stone. AddToPick rates this mat worth buying for quartz and granite counters, where standing water dries into a ring. The mat is not the right fix when the faucet base is wider than the center cut-out.

The mat is a strip of silicone laid across the counter behind a kitchen faucet. The strip covers the full run behind a standard single faucet. The surface is not flat: the mat is slanted so that the edge nearest the sink sits lower than the edge nearest the wall.
A cut-out in the center goes around the faucet base, and the center can be trimmed with household scissors when the faucet base is wider.
The slant is the working part. Water that lands behind the faucet during hand washing runs down the slant and back into the sink, instead of spreading across the counter and drying there.
The underside grips the counter, so the mat holds position through normal use rather than creeping forward. The mat is a single piece with no fasteners or adhesive, so the mat lifts out for rinsing and lays back down.
The evidence base for this mat is thin, and the limits are worth stating up front. AddToPick read ten US five-star reviews. Most of the reviews run one or two sentences, which comes to roughly 2,200 characters in total. Four points came up often enough to repeat.
The center of the mat trims with regular scissors, so a wider faucet base is workable. The cut is permanent and cannot be undone, so measure the faucet base before cutting.
The mat is slanted toward the sink, so water runs off rather than collecting. Reviewers describe the counter behind the faucet staying dry.
Reviewers describe the mat lying flat and staying put. The underside grips the counter, so normal hand washing does not push the mat out of position.
The mat lifts out of place in one piece, rinses under the tap, and lays back down. No fasteners or adhesive are involved.
Reviewers in hard water areas describe the marks as not standing out on this mat. That is an impression from short reviews rather than a measured result, so treat the claim as weak evidence.
