Tips for Selection and Maintenance

1. Natural Material: The Core Foundation of Environmental Protection and Safety
Diatomaceous earth mats are mainly made of natural diatomaceous earth, combined with plant fibers and natural rubber backing, featuring inherent "eco-friendly properties". As a porous mineral, diatomaceous earth is covered with micron-sized pores on its surface, which is the source of its super water absorption capacity. High-quality products have a formaldehyde emission of only 0.01mg/m³, far lower than the national standard, making them safe for the elderly, children and pets. The thickness of mainstream styles ranges from 1.2cm to 2cm, and the size covers 40x60cm to 80x120cm, suitable for different space needs such as foyers, bathrooms and kitchens. With colors ranging from cream white to deep space gray and styles from minimalism to new Chinese style, they can easily integrate into various home decoration styles.
2. Core Functions: Excellent Water Absorption and Anti-slip Performance, Say Goodbye to Moisture Troubles
Rapid water absorption + quick drying is the core advantage of diatomaceous earth mats. Test data shows that its water absorption rate can reach 90% within 10 seconds, far exceeding that of cotton and sponge mats. After taking a bath in the bathroom, stepping on it with bare feet will make the soles dry instantly without residual water stains. Even in the plum rain season in southern China, it can still keep the surface dry, avoiding the embarrassment of traditional mats being "getting wetter as you step on them". Equipped with anti-bacterial and anti-mildew technology, it reduces bacterial growth in humid environments, solving the problems of cotton mats being prone to yellowing and sponge mats being prone to mildew. It can still maintain a clean state after three months of use.
Its anti-slip performance is also outstanding. The dense natural rubber anti-slip particles at the bottom make the mat firmly adhere to floors such as tiles and wood floors, with an anti-slip coefficient ≥ 0.6. It is not easy to shift even when dragged in a wet state. When the elderly and children run at home or pets move around, it can effectively reduce the risk of falling. Even when the floor heating is turned on, it will not slide due to high temperature and will not affect heat dissipation.
3. Multi-scenario Adaptation, Balancing Practicality and Aesthetics
In addition to the classic use at the bathroom door, diatomaceous earth mats are also widely used in water-prone areas such as foyers, kitchens, laundry rooms and balconies. At the foyer, it can quickly absorb the muddy water on the soles of shoes on rainy days to prevent dirt from being brought into the room and soiling the floor; placed next to the sink in the kitchen, it can timely absorb the splashed water stains to prevent slipping; styles of new Chinese style with elements such as auspicious clouds and blessing characters are even the finishing touch for housewarming and holiday decorations, combining practicality and a sense of ritual.
4. Compared with Traditional Mats, Advantages Are Obvious
Compared with cotton, sponge and other mats, diatomaceous earth mats have obvious advantages in core performance: their water absorption speed is more than 5 times that of cotton mats, and their anti-slip performance is far better than that of sponge mats which are easy to shift; in terms of durability, the normal service life can reach 2-3 years, and high-end models can even be extended to 3-5 years, while the problems of cotton mats being prone to deformation and sponge mats being prone to aging significantly shorten their service life; in terms of cleaning convenience, no complicated care is required. Daily dust can be removed by shaking it, and when it is dirty, it can be rinsed with clean water and dried, without machine washing, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost.
5. Tips for Selection and Maintenance
When purchasing, it is recommended to give priority to thicker and wider styles to ensure coverage of the use area; pay attention to the anti-slip coefficient and water absorption parameters, and choose products from regular brands to avoid low-quality models with easy-to-crack edges. For maintenance, avoid long-term soaking and scrubbing with force. You can regularly dry it in the sun to restore its adsorption capacity; families with floor heating in northern China and humid areas in southern China can use it with confidence, but extreme non-ventilated environments should be avoided to extend its service life.
