Moisture Absorption & Deodorising Homeware
Diatomite is a natural material made from fossilised remains of single-cell algae.
It is highly porous at a molecular level which enables excellent water absorption among other benefits.
Made with 100% Diatoms & Natural Minerals
Bulbul’s diatomite homeware is made with only 100% natural materials and baked at high temperatures under a kiln. It is formed under high pressure without using harmful chemicals such as pulp or cement and baked at over 1,000 °F which forms the material’s hardness while eliminating any impurities.

Care Information
Bulbul Diatomite products are like ceramics and are fragile, handle with care. 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. Product is supposed to be kept dry, do not wash before use.
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 (Not Baking soda) 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 based on 800-1000 watt power
Double Sided Tray: 2m 30sec
Small Drying Holder: 1m
Medium Drying Holder: 2m 30sec
Large Drying holder: 7m
Soap Dish : 2m
Coaster: 1m 30sec
(Please note that microwaving with trapped soap oil and dirt may leave burn marks on product)
Recommended time for oven for all products is 5 minutes under 200°C temperature.
(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.

Feature
Boilable.
For the occasional deep clean, you can boil it to displace any trapped oils and dirt that are being absorbed by the diatomite.
For a deeper cleanse, you may add Sodium Percarbonate (Not Baking soda). It uses Oxygen molecules to cleanse deep within the pores.
Make sure to dry it completely before use.
Feature
Microwavable.
Bulbul's diatomite stands out due to its remarkable feature: microwave-friendly drying. Unlike typical diatomite products, which blend in plastics and fibers, our diatomites are crafted in a ceramic-like manner, fired under high temperatures. This unique composition allows for efficient drying when microwaved, offering a practical solution to moisture absorption.
Feature
Dry it under the Sun
If you do not have access to a microwave or simply prefer not to use one, the sun-drying method is a suitable alternative. Place the product outdoors on a sunny day, and you can be confident it will not deform.

Review Natural Variations Before Ordering!
Bulbul’s diatomite products are crafted without chemical bonding agents, using natural minerals and diatomite.
Due to its natural characteristics, each piece may have slight variations or unique details. These do not affect performance and add to its one-of-a-kind charm.
- Slight color variations may occur between product batches. These variations can be challenging to control due to the natural state of these minerals.
- Red tint along edges due to moulding in high heat and pressure
- Rough patch due to uneven distribution of minerals
- Occasional marbling or texturing due to randomness in mineral mixture
- Slight warping may occur due to the kiln-baking or drying process
- Over time, natural wear may cause slight Powdering effect, leading to subtle dark patches
Please be aware that these properties contribute to the uniqueness of the material.
As such, it is important to consider these characteristics before making a purchase, as products with these natural variations will not be accepted for exchange or refund.
