Dishwasher-Safe Coasters
I was at the Clerkenwell Design Week today, when I saw some glass coasters that gave me an idea. Why can’t we have dishwasher-safe coasters? I have a messy office because, I tend to drink masses of tea all day. My late wife, always complained about the state, with tea stains everywhere.

The picture shows the one, I’m using at the moment. Pristine it isn’t!
So I went to John Lewis, arguing, if anybody would have them, they would. I found these by ashortwalk, which although, the main material will stand up to a dishwasher, the cork pads won’t.

I should say that the research I did at CDW, indicated that many would like dishwasher-safe coasters. The office market could be bigger than domestic.
The Anonymous Widower 
Ours had got really tatty, and I ordered some carved wood ones from one or other of the fairly traded type places at Christmas – Tearcraft I think. They are standing up well to my tea drinking habits, and dont seem to stain much, even from the hot cups, and if they do, a wipe over sorts them out. I am very pleased with them.

These ones are made from recycled plastic cups. Rather appropriate!
