This stone bath mat represents a shift away from traditional fabric rugs, utilizing the natural properties of diatomaceous earth to manage water. The mat is essentially a hard, porous slab that absorbs moisture through tiny pores, allowing water to evaporate in about a minute. This rapid drying helps keep the bathroom floor dry and minimizes the dampness often associated with cloth mats.
Specifications indicate the mat is roughly 9mm to 10mm thick. Because it is a rigid stone, it must be placed on a completely flat surface; placing it on uneven tile or grout lines can lead to cracking under weight. Over time, skin oils can settle in the pores, but the surface can be refreshed using the included light sandpaper to restore its original absorption speed.
Safety tip: Always use the included non-slip pad underneath the stone to ensure it remains stable on slick bathroom tiles.
Maintenance and features:
- Wipe with a damp cloth for daily cleaning.
- Avoid using heavy detergents or bleach which can clog the pores.
- Naturally resistant to the odors and mold that typically affect damp textiles.
If you prefer the soft feel of a traditional rug with added odor-control features, the charcoal-infused memory foam mat is a softer option.
