Why Cheap Diatomite Products Don’t Last—And What Brands Won’t Tell You
Diatomite products have become increasingly popular for their self-drying and antibacterial properties, but did you know that not all diatomite products are created equal? Many brands claim to offer high-quality diatomite trays, holders, and mats, but the difference lies in how they are made.
At Bulbul, we take diatomite craftsmanship to a whole new level, ensuring exceptional durability, superior absorption, and long-lasting performance. Here’s why our diatomite earth products outshine ordinary ones.
How Bulbul’s Diatomite Products Are Made Differently
Unlike ordinary diatomite holders and trays, which often contain synthetic binders, fibers, and chemicals, Bulbul’s diatomite products follow a traditional ceramic-style manufacturing process.
🔹 High-Pressure Molding with 100% Natural Minerals
✔ Our diatomite products are shaped using high pressure, ensuring they are more durable.
✔ Key ingredient: Diatomaceous earth (diatomite rock) combined with other natural minerals—no synthetic fillers.
✔ Fired in a kiln, just like ceramic, to create a solid structure.
Check out this rock-like texture! No Fibre or Chemical Glue!
💡 The Result?
✔ A stronger, more durable diatomite tray or holder that lasts years, not months.
✔ Higher resistance to moisture, preventing deformation.
✔ Even if broken, it remains just as absorbent! Use the broken pieces in your wardrobe or shoe cabinet to keep moisture at bay and prevent odours.
This ensures zero waste and prolonged usability, making Bulbul’s diatomite products a truly sustainable choice.
The Problem with Ordinary Diatomite Products
Many cheap diatomite products on the market are made differently. While they contain diatomite, they also include synthetic fibers and chemical binders to hold them together.

🚨 Why does this matter?
❌ Deforms easily – Exposure to water, heat, or sunlight causes warping, meaning you can’t boil, microwave, or even place them in direct sun.
❌ No way to restore once damaged – Once they stain or develop mold, there’s no way to clean them thoroughly, forcing people to toss them out after a few months.
💡 Ever had a diatomite toothbrush holder or tray that warped or got moldy? That’s because it wasn’t made like Bulbul’s.
Bulbul’s Diatomite Can Be Restored & Maintains Performance
Because Bulbul’s diatomite products are kiln-fired and 100% mineral-based, they offer a unique restoration advantage.
🔹 Yes, Diatomite is Self-Drying and Antibacterial, But…
✔ Like any natural material, if kept in consistently wet conditions, it can develop mold or stains over time.
✔ Unlike other brands, Bulbul’s diatomite can be restored easily!
How to Restore Bulbul’s Diatomite Products:
🔹 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.
💡 Can’t do this with other diatomite products? That’s because they’re made with synthetic fibers and will melt or warp under heat!
