Care Information

The Diatomite products absorption rate and performance will vary based on how heavy use it undergoes. Here are some care tips to maintain peak performance.

If you have previously used it to hold soap. Firstly, place the product into boiling water to displace any residual soap oils and dirt that may be trapped inside. This step is important as the soap can leave behind thin oil layers that may interfere with water absorption. Furthermore, you can use 1 tablespoon of Sodium Percarbonate to help displace oils and dirt more effectively. After completing this step, you can proceed with the microwave/oven drying process.

To speed up the drying process, you can place product inside the microwave, oven or simply dry under direct sun. The recomended microwave/oven timings for each product are as follows:

Recommended time for Microwave
(Please note that microwaving with trapped soap oil and dirt may leave burn marks on product)
Double Sided Tray: 2m 30sec
Small Drying Holder: 1m
Medium Drying Holder: 2m 30sec
Large Drying holder: 7m
Soap Dish : 2m
Coaster: 1m 30sec

Recommended time for oven for all products is 5 minutes.
(Please note that baking with trapped soap oil and dirt may leave burn marks on product)

In case of stubborn algae or stains, gently use fine-grit sandpaper to remove them.

Broken pieces still retain their property. Re-use them as dehumidifiers for your wardrobe or shoe cabinets to give the broken pieces a second life.

Your product may appear powdery out of the box, due to the natural composition of the materials. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth before using it.
