The porous mineral that absorbs water in seconds

What is diatomite? It's a sedimentary rock composed of fossilized microalgae, with an ultra-fine pore network. This structure absorbs water on the surface, then diffuses it for rapid drying. Unlike silicone or metal sponge holders, diatomite remains dry to the touch, prevents stagnant water, and reduces unpleasant odors. The underside can incorporate small pads for stability on stainless steel sinks or laminate countertops. As a result, your sponge, dish brush, or bar of soap stays clean and ready to use, without any rings or mold.

A clean design that blends seamlessly into the kitchen and bathroom.

The compact design accommodates a standard sponge without cluttering the sink. The smooth edges and mineral hue complement stainless steel, ceramic, and wood. Use it as a diatomite sponge holder near the dishwashing area or as a soap dish in the shower for bar soap. Its microporous surface dries quickly while maintaining a clean and uncluttered look, keeping your sink area neat and tidy. This absorbent holder reduces residual moisture, minimizes watermarks, and keeps your workspace clean, even after washing dishes or hands.

Gentle and regular maintenance

To maintain the absorbency and smooth surface of your diatomite mat, clean it gently with a soft cloth or slightly damp sponge. Use only lukewarm water and a mild soap, without harsh chemicals. Avoid abrasive sponges, stiff brushes, or strong chemicals, which could damage the diatomite's mineral structure. For light deposits, a simple damp wipe is all it takes to restore a clean surface.

Air drying

Once cleaned, allow your diatomite mat to dry naturally, flat and in the open air. No wiping is necessary. Thanks to diatomite's rapid absorption capacity, the moisture evaporates quickly and the mat quickly regains its dry appearance, ready for use again.

Best practices to follow

To preserve your diatomite bath mat for years to come, avoid prolonged immersion in water. Complete saturation of the material could impair its absorbency and weaken its structure. Regular, moderate surface cleaning is more than enough to guarantee its long-term performance.

Removal of stubborn stains

If a stubborn stain appears on your diatomite mat, apply a few drops of white vinegar directly to the affected area. Let it sit briefly to dissolve the residue, then gently clean with a damp cloth before rinsing with clean water. This simple step restores the mat's natural appearance without damaging the material.
