Is this bath mat non-slip?

As diatomite is a natural rock it is not slip-resistant, but to keep your mat firmly in place, you will get a free sheet of non slip backing in your box.

How to clean a diatomite mat?

In the box you’ll receive a small sheet of delicate p320 sandpaper. Regularly scrub the surface layer to remove any stains and improve the porosity & absorbency. We also have a dedicated guide on how to clean bath mats should you need more detailed instructions for different types of mats.

Can I use it with underfloor heating?

Yes, underfloor heating will not affect the quality or performance of our diatomite bath mat.

Are stone drying mats healthy and safe for use?

Absolutely! Here at Misona we want to provide you with peace of mind that our diatomite mat is perfectly fit for purpose. You might’ve heard the news about the diatomaceous earth bath mat recall in 2020, but our bath mat has been tested (with an independent testing body) and is asbestos free! You can check our lab results yourself!

Is this kind of stone bath mat heavy?

Now we do realise that stone immediately makes everyone think of some serious weight, but in
reality – it’s surprisingly light. The bath mat itself weighs approximately 2kg. It’s one of the many incredible properties of diatomite since it’s composed of fossilized remains of single-celled algae. You can easily move these bath mats around whenever you need to.

Does it feel cold against your feet?

The short answer is no – this kind of absorbent bath mat probably feels more like a wooden bath mat than actual stone.

How absorbent is it?

This product is often referred to as a quick dry bath mat – and it definitely earns its name. Thanks to the high porosity of diatomite, it can easily soak up all the water within a minute.

Does it stain easily?

This shouldn’t happen during normal use as any water will be completely absorbed leaving no marks behind. If somehow you do notice any marks or stains, or perhaps spill other substances on the surface, just use the complementary piece of sandpaper to scrub it away.

What environmental standards do you follow?

You can rest assured we don’t just talk the talk, but walk the walk and do our best to lead by example. All the factories we work with strictly follow the rules and meet the requirements of the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI). On top of that, the fabrics we use are OEKO-TEX certified, which means that no harmful chemicals or dyes are used during the production process.

How is it possible that stone absorbs water?

There’s a good reason for it – it’s no ordinary stone. We’re not talking about some pebbles in the river, although it is found in aquatic environments. This is diatomite, a type of soft rock with high silica content, which makes it very porous and in turn highly absorbent. Apart from the name and categorisation, it doesn’t really have that much in common with what we normally think about stone.

Do stone bath mats get mouldy?

A diatomite stone is what essentially makes it an anti-mould bath mat. It dries quickly, keeping moisture and dampness to a minimum, and thanks to anti-mould and anti-bacterial properties of diatomite, this is the most hygienic type of bath mat you can get.

What can I do if the colour I like is out of stock?

We do our best to keep our stock and supply chains working as smoothly as possible so that you can enjoy all of your favourite products. Unfortunately, occasionally we run out, and some colour options in our stone bath mat range may not be available at a given point in time. In that case, please contact us at store@misona.co.uk to find out when it becomes available again. 

Is this stone bath mat a good fit for people suffering from allergies? 

Yes, the anti-bacterial and odour-free nature of these mats makes them a perfect choice for anyone who has to deal with allergies without running any risk of unwelcome surprises and less-than-desirable reactions. In fact, it’s hard to find a better one.

Do stone bath mats stop working?

The porous structure is what makes a stone bathroom mat absorbent, but those pores can get clogged over time – especially if the mat is only partially made with diatomite. Damage, improper
care, and poor quality are the main reasons why your bath mat is not absorbing water anymore. Our
product is 100% high-quality diatomite, which makes it more durable and resistant to wear and tear so that you can enjoy it – and the convenience it brings into your life – for a long time.

What colour is best for a bath mat?

Our advice is to go for versatile hues – like grey or off-white. It keeps the look sleek, modern, and timeless. Easy to coordinate with any other colours, it will fit right into your bathroom, whatever style you prefer. Our own range of stone bathroom mats also comes in sky blue.

Should your bath mat match your towels?

Not necessarily, especially if you go for bath mats in versatile and neutral hues. You can then pair them up with other serene colours – white, sage green, light grey, blush pink, royal blue – to make
your bathroom feel like a real sanctuary of peace and relaxation. Our range of eco towels has plenty to offer in that regard.
