Why have my Thirstystone coasters stopped absorbing?
Thristystone coasters will virtually last forever but do occasionally need to be cleaned as the porous material will get clogged over time and use.
Dishwashing is not recommended as the extreme abrasion and heat of a dishwasher will cause the
natural cork backing to deteriorate.
After using the coasters for a long period of time they get clogged which diminishes and don't absorb.
