Myth: All Diatomite Products Are the Same! Here’s the Truth
Diatomite products have gained popularity for their fast-drying and antibacterial properties, but there’s a common misconception that all diatomite products are the same. Spoiler alert: They’re not.
From diatomite trays and holders to bath mats, the quality, durability, and performance of these products depend heavily on how they are made. While many brands cut corners by adding fibers and chemical binders, Bulbul’s diatomite products are crafted using 100% natural minerals and a unique high-pressure process—making them more durable, longer-lasting, and fully restorable.
Let’s bust the biggest myth and show you why not all diatomite products are created equal.
What Makes Most Ordinary Diatomite Products Different?
Many cheap diatomite products on the market contain more than just diatomite earth. Instead of using pure minerals, they are made by mixing diatomite powder with fibers and chemical substances, which affects durability, performance, and maintenance.
🚨 What’s Inside Most Ordinary Diatomite Products?
❌ Synthetic fibers – Added to help shape the product, but they interfere with diatomite’s natural moisture absorption.
❌ Chemical binders – Used as glue to hold the structure, making the product prone to deterioration over time.
❌ Limited maintenance options – These products cannot be placed in direct sunlight, boiled, or microwaved, as they warp or break apart under heat.
💡 The Result?
✔ A product that loses its absorption power quickly, requiring frequent replacements.
✔ Deforms over time, becoming fragile and unusable within months.
✔ No way to restore—once it stains or develops mold, it must be thrown away.
Why Bulbul’s Diatomite Products Stand Out
At Bulbul, we believe in quality craftsmanship and true sustainability. That’s why our diatomite trays, holders, and mats are made differently.
🔹 How We Make Our Diatomite Products
✔ Shaped under high pressure, ensuring they are more durable and resistant to everyday use.
✔ Made with 100% natural minerals, without synthetic fibers or binders.
✔ Kiln-baked, creating a stable, breathable structure that maintains optimal absorbency over time.
💡 The Result?
✔ A product that stays ultra-absorbent, keeping your surfaces dry and hygienic.
✔ Restorable & reusable—if the absorption slows, simply heat-dry in an oven or microwave.
✔ Even if broken, it remains just as absorbent—repurpose the pieces to keep your wardrobe or shoe cabinet dry.
Unlike ordinary diatomite products, which warp, stain, and lose performance over time, Bulbul’s diatomite earth products are built to last and easy to maintain.
How to Restore Bulbul’s Diatomite Products
Unlike ordinary products, Bulbul’s diatomite trays, holders, and bath mats can be fully restored and kept in top condition for years.
Simple Restoration Steps:
🔹 Clean for a Fresh Look & Peak Performance
✔ For regular maintenance, ensure the product is completed dry using your preferred drying method. 1. Dry under direct sunlight every 1 to 4 weeks or as needed. 2. Use microwave or oven for fast drying. For more detailed instruction, click here
✔ For occasional deep cleansing, boil the diatomite product about 15 - 20 m to remove trapped oil and dirt. Ensure it is fully dry before use
✔ For strong stain or mould which not removed from above step, simply sand the surface lightly to remove stains and refresh its appearance.
💡 Ordinary diatomite products can’t handle heat exposure, but Bulbul’s can—making them a long-term investment.
