Is this bath mat non-slip?

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.

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 wood 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.

How is this stone bath mat eco-friendly?

The shortest answer is – because it’s made from a sustainable and naturally occurring material known as diatomite that is sourced using responsible methods. It’s also incredibly versatile, which is why it’s used in many different products and solutions, and circular, which means it can be reused or repurposed, making it a truly green choice. We’ve talked so much about the unique properties and versatility of the main ingredient of our flagship absorbent bath mat range you’re probably tired of reading about it at this point. But it shows even more value when we compare it to traditional materials – like cotton, microfibre or even worse, synthetic materials, the production of which takes a big environmental toll and requires significant resources.

Are they available in different sizes?

Our fast absorbing bath mat range is only available in one size, but we tried our best to make it perfect for any space. It measures 39 x 60 cm with a height of approximately 1 cm. Big enough to comfortably stand on and use and slim enough to effortlessly slip under most doors in case you don’t have all that much room.

Where is your diatomite bath mat range manufactured?

Our suppliers are all around the world – Portugal, Turkey, India and more.

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. 

If an item I like is unavailable, can I pre-order it?

Not at present; pre-orders are not an option.

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.

What if I don't like it? What's your return policy?

If for whatever reason you’re not happy with your purchase, you have 30 days to return it.

If they can't be machine washed, won't they smell?

That most certainly will not be the case and it’s all thanks to the natural anti-mould and anti-odour properties of diatomite. This material itself features an autonomous self-cleaning system – all on its own.  

Should I use detergents to clean them?

That’s not recommended, putting the sandpaper you get with your order free of charge into good use every now and then should be more than enough to keep your bath mat in top shape.

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.
