Product Information

Full details

The Clarsen Quick Dry Diatomite Bathmat in Blue is designed for homeowners seeking a hygienic and fast-drying alternative to traditional fabric bathmats. Its primary benefit is its superior absorbency and rapid drying, which prevents moisture buildup, mould, and odours, thus enhancing bathroom safety and cleanliness. A minor caveat is its rigid nature compared to soft fabric mats. This mat uses natural diatomite to instantly soak up water and dry quickly, naturally resisting bacteria and odours, finished with an anti-slip underlay for security.

FAQs

How often should I sand the mat?

It is recommended to gently sand the surface every few weeks or when you notice a decrease in absorbency or a dull appearance. This helps maintain its optimal performance.

Can I use this mat outside the bathroom?

While designed for bathrooms due to its water-absorbing properties, it can be used in other areas needing quick drying, such as by a kitchen sink or a pet's water bowl. However, it is intended for indoor use.

What is diatomite?

Diatomite is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock composed of fossilized aquatic organisms called diatoms. It is known for its high porosity and absorbency.

Is the blue colour natural?

The product description does not specify if the colour is natural or dyed. The blue refers to the colour family of the bathmat.

What are the dimensions of the bathmat?

The bathmat measures approximately 0.9cm in height, 60cm in width, and 39cm in depth (H0.9 xW60 xD39cm).

How much water can it hold?

The mat is designed to absorb up to 250ml of water instantly.

Can I machine wash this bathmat?

No, this diatomite bathmat is not machine washable. Care instructions involve air drying and occasional light sanding.

Troubleshooting

Mat is not drying as quickly as before

Gently sand the surface with the provided sandpaper to restore absorbency. Ensure good air circulation around the mat.

Mat has developed a slight odour

Rinse the mat thoroughly with water and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Sanding may also help.

Mat has stains

Try rinsing with water. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and complete air drying.

Mat feels rough or uneven

Use the gentle sandpaper to lightly sand the surface in circular motions until smooth and even.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Place the Clarsen Quick Dry Diatomite Bathmat on a clean, dry, and level bathroom floor. Ensure the anti-slip underlay is flat against the surface.

Compatibility:

This mat is suitable for most bathroom floor types, including tile, linoleum, and vinyl. It is designed for indoor use only. Avoid placing it in direct, prolonged sunlight or near extreme heat sources, as this can affect the material.

Care:

After use, allow the mat to air dry. To maintain its absorbency and appearance, periodically clean the surface using the gentle sandpaper provided. Lightly sand any dull spots or unevenness. For deeper cleaning, rinse the mat with water and allow it to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the mat is fully dry before storing it to prevent mould or mildew growth.
