Care Instructions
- Daily Care - Simply allow the product to air dry between uses
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth if needed
- Deep Cleaning - Lightly sand the surface with fine sandpaper to refresh absorbency
- Rinse with water and allow to air dry completely
Important Tips
- Do not use harsh chemicals or detergents
- Avoid soaking for extended periods
- Handle with care to prevent dropping (as the material is naturally rigid)
Absorbs moisture quickly
The porous surface draws in water rather than letting it sit on top.
Air-dries naturally
The surface returns to dry between uses on its own.
Simple water-and-brush care
Rinse under running water and let it air-dry fully.
Stone-based and breakable
Handle with care - it can chip or crack if dropped.

Care and cleaning
Everyday care
- Rinse it under running water.
- If it needs more than water, use a soft, natural-bristled brush or a gentle scrubber.
- Let it air-dry fully before you use it again.
Stubborn stains
Wash the area with a mild detergent, or soak the slab for 10 minutes in equal parts water and white vinegar. Rinse it and let it air-dry fully.
In extreme cases
On a completely dry slab, work over the mark with fine-grit sandpaper using light, even strokes, then wipe the dust away with a damp cloth.
Keep it on a stable surface, and handle it as you would a stone tile.

Questions about this product
What is diatomite?
A naturally occurring, highly porous mineral
material formed from deposits of microscopic algae. Its porous structure allows it to
absorb moisture quickly.
Where can I use it?
Depending on its size, it can help manage
water and condensation around showers, sinks, cold glasses, water jugs, pet bowls and
dish-drying areas. Follow the use guidance on this product page.
Can it crack?
Yes. It is a stone-based product made for everyday
use, but it can chip or crack if dropped or struck.
