What is a Diatomite Bath Mat? Discover Its Advantages

A diatomite bath mat is a type of mat made from diatomaceous earth, a natural material known for its high absorbency and quick-drying properties. Unlike regular fabric mats, diatomite mats have a solid, stone-like form.

These mats are typically used in bathrooms, kitchens, or other areas frequently exposed to water, as they can absorb moisture quickly and dry within seconds.

At AZKO, you can find Forhom, a brand that offers a collection of diatomite mats packed with benefits. What are they?

1. Lab-Certified 100% Asbestos-Free

When choosing a diatomite mat, you need to be careful. Choose a mat that is safe to use, like the Forhom collection, which is lab-tested and certified to be 100% free from asbestos—a cancer-causing substance—making it safe for everyday use.

2. High Absorbency, Dries in Seconds

No need to rub your feet multiple times to dry them after a shower. Forhom’s diatomite mat has high absorbency, allowing your feet to dry instantly. Interestingly, the mat itself dries within just 15–30 seconds. Convenient and almost magical, right?

3. Mold & Bacteria Resistant

Mold and bacteria thrive on damp surfaces—especially on mats used to dry wet feet. With a diatomite mat, you don’t need to worry about moisture. Thanks to its quick-drying ability, the mat stays clean and helps prevent mold and bacterial growth.

4. Easy to Clean

Cleaning the diatomite mat is also very simple. Just rinse it with water, scrub it with the included sandpaper, then sun-dry it for about five minutes. After that, it’s ready to use again. If the mat gets dusty or collects hair, simply use a vacuum cleaner to clean it quickly.

5. Choice of Diatomite Surface Types

Forhom’s diatomite mats come in two surface texture options with various patterns: hard and soft.

• The hard diatomite mat has a firmer texture, making it easy to clean under running water.
• The soft diatomite mat is more flexible and can be rolled up. It also feels softer under your feet.

You can choose the one that best suits your needs.
