Product Information

It is no secret that washing machine use affects the environment in numerous ways due to water and energy wastage, chemical pollution, and increased carbon footprint. That’s why plush fiber bath mats should be washed as often as you clean your toilet: about once a week. Diatomaceous bath mat cleaning is relatively straightforward since you can wipe it down with a wet cloth or sponge. Therefore, you won't have to wash it frequently in a washing machine saving you time and money. Finally, diatomaceous earth mats retain their cleanliness and water absorbency with simple, regular maintenance, compared to traditional bath mats that will need to be washed daily to prevent bacteria growth. So, as a healthier alternative to fiber, plastic and rubber bath mats, it's worth considering an anti-microbial bath mat made of diatomaceous earth (or a mat made of naturally anti-microbial teak wood like the one we sell (shameless plug, I know)).

When you think of an absorbent bath mat, the first material that comes to mind probably isn’t stone. How can a bath mat made out of stone be functional and safe? The answer: diatomaceous earth. Diatomite is a very porous, lightweight, and crumbly stone substance that can be found in both marine and freshwater systems. “Stone bath mats are an aesthetically appealing, low-maintenance choice that gives any bathroom a crisp, clean, spa-like feel,” says Cindy Tadie, residential designer at Kathy Adams Furniture & Design in Dallas, Texas. They’re fast becoming popular in many luxury bathrooms across America, largely thanks to their sleek look and highly absorbent, porous properties. Many diatomite deposits exist worldwide today, but it is rare to find commercially viable ones due to their high purity. As an added precaution, we will supply all of our Earthstone Bath Mats with a sheet of non-slip underlay, to ensure that you and your family are kept safe at all times. And because these mats are generally not very expensive, it shouldn’t be too much of a financial burden if you choose to go that route.

These fossilized diatoms are made of silica, which over time accumulates in the sediment of rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans, from which they are then mined. Furthermore, a diatomaceous earth bath mat is non-slip due to its brushed texture which gives it a natural grip. For stubborn stains, using a fine grit sandpaper is recommended for renewing the surface. For deeper and more difficult stains, you can usually use hydrogen peroxide, and in some cases, bleach to penetrate deeper into the stone itself. This simple and aesthetically pleasing accessory can be placed under the sink or outside your shower area, wherever suits your bathroom decor. I’m always on the hunt for the best bath mats. We go through dozens of baths and showers each week with two adults and five kids living in my home, so finding durable bathroom accessories is a top priority. That’s why I decided to try a trendy stone bath mat. Plus, the idea of washing bath mats every other day is just overwhelming. What is a Sutera stone bath mat?

Thanks to the way it's constructed, this mat is a bit more rigid than traditional bath mats. It features a distinctive and tasteful pattern that helps adds traction when stepping out of the bath or shower, but the quartz component can feel a little sharp or scratchy on bare feet. If you have a large or uniquely laid out space that you want to cover, the Dorai Large Bath Stone is the customizable solution you need. This bath mat is over double the size of many others on our list, allowing it to cover a similar amount of space to a bath rug. Even better, it can be laid out in a variety of different configurations, since it’s actually four individual stones. Lay it out in a traditional rectangle shape, or lay the tiles side by side to make a slim, long layout. Alternatively, you could also lay it out in an L-shape or separate the tiles to cover two different areas altogether, making this the most customizable choice on the list. Therefore, it is perhaps no surprise that diatomaceous earth stone bath mats exist to absorb moisture in today's bathrooms. These mats also come with a slip-resistant wave-like design that keeps you safe. And despite what you might imagine a stone bath mat feeling like, these are actually soft to the touch and gentle on skin. How to Use a Stone Bath Mat What is a diatomaceous earth mat? In a word - a solution to constantly wet, stained or slippery bathroom floor.

Where to Buy a Sutera Stone Bath Mat

In the box you’ll receive a small sheet of delicate p32 sandpaper. Regularly scrub the surface layer to remove any stains and improve the porosity & absorbency. Unlike most other stone bath mats, this one can be machine washed (for smaller messes or stains, you can just clean it with a damp cloth). It’s lightweight enough to easily move around the house or hang up to get out of the way. This model does provide a somewhat less luxurious feel than some other more solidly constructed mats, however. It’s also less durable and long-lasting. Also, if you’re looking for a larger bath mat that will run the length of your tub or shower door, this one may fall a bit short. Everyone has wet feet and slippers after showering. Therefore, it makes sense to invest in a solid bath mat to dry the soles of your feet and prevent your bathroom floor from becoming wet. Diatomite gets its value from its high porosity, large surface area, low density, and insulation properties. It is also valued for its high silica content, abrasiveness and absorptive capacity which makes it useful in cleaning up spills in the industrial, automotive, and janitorial industries.

Food grade" diatomaceous earth products are purified. They may be used as anti-caking materials in feed, or as clarifiers for wine and beer. For starters, it has numerous small holes that enable it to absorb and hold a lot of water which is the primary function of a bath mat.As you might expect, stone bath mats are typically left in their all-natural color state, so you’ll find them ranging in colors from white to dark grey. These muted tones give a modern, spa-like feel to any room, and tend to blend inconspicuously with a variety of decor styles and color schemes, from traditional to modern, boho-style bathrooms, and more. The Misona Earthstone Bath Mat comes with a small sheet of sandpaper included so you can maintain your mat’s appearance with ease. Ok, diatomaceous bath mats are very trendy, eco-friendly, and anti-bacterial– just like our teak shower/bath mat.

The Fanwayer Diatomaceous Earth 6-Piece Set is ideal if you’re looking for a complementary set of stone accessories that match well and blend in with a lot of different decor choices. This set includes two bath mats and four coasters/stone soap mats. It’s great for adding a luxurious touch to the bathroom, but you can also use it in the kitchen or living room, giving you plenty of options for multipurpose use around the home. In summary, a diatomite earth mat is a highly absorbent, non-slip mat made from diatomaceous earth. In that case, you’ll need to carefully lift the mat and pour the water out of it, much as if you’re emptying a bowl of water. This means they are produced from naturally occurring materials like diatomaceous earth, hydrated lime, and wood or vegetable fibres.However, if you sand your diatomite mat too often, and too deeply, you’ll wear it down, and effectively limit its absorption capacity. This anti-slip mat will absorb and disperse water from your feet, preventing it from pooling in wet spots. For instance, formaldehyde is a toxic and pungent-smelling gas present in some building materials, household products like glue, and fuel-burning appliances.
