If you just want something cheap you can wipe off and don't mind black color, check home improvement stores for vinyl runner. You can get a piece around 25-30" wide in a one foot length for something larger than 12"x24" for like $2-3. Another low cost option, try hitting up auto parts stores and see if they have any surplus counter mats laying around. They may be willing to give or sell you one, sometimes they have stockpiles of them from various vendors or with their own marketing branding.
Places like office depot have 22" x 17" desk mats made of translucent pvc (easy to wipe off) for around $15. Amazon has supersized 'gaming mouse pads' or desk pads that are 35" x 16" for like $13-14 but I'd imagine they're some sort of foam with fiber covering. Not sure how they would hold up to spills, how easy or difficult they'd be to clean off.

Coil master i think try to check it out.
Just a suggestion: Buy a roll of the waffle foam shelf liner to put over your desk pad or on the desk itself. It stays in place. Heck, you may even want to cut a piece to put 'under' your deck mat. It has no holes between the texture, it is white, off white or tan. You can cut it as long as you want. I have some and it's also quite deep. No way you can ruin anything. The photo is just a sample. Try Walmart, Target, etc.
I bought 2 of these February 2017. Despite what 2 reviews say (it looks like the seller changed material) mine are very rubbery silicone. Mine are from the same seller, opaque white and roughly 12" x 16". They are thin, but have good weight. Keep them rolled vs. folded if you want to keep it all smooth. I preferred white so I can see anything that spills/drips. There are other sizes and colors at the bottom of the page.

I use a $6 desk pad from Ikea. Just under 26x18 inches. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/66703500/

My build/ mixing bench is covered in PIG mat to contain spills, then I have a heat resistant solder mat to work on.
