How to clean a
stone bath mat.

Four steps, one of them occasional.

Wipe the surface with a dry or lightly damp cloth for everyday dust.

Rinse it under running water when it needs more, then let it air dry fully in a ventilated space.

Never use soap, detergent or any chemical cleaner. They leave a film across the pores and reduce the absorption you bought the mat for. No dishwasher, no washing machine, and do not submerge it.

Sand it when absorption slows, every few months depending on use. Wet the surface, work in a ventilated space, and sand lightly in circles with the included 320-grit paper until it feels evenly matte. Rinse and dry. Absorption returns fully. Sanding restores the mat rather than wearing it out.

No action required.

Step onto the mat, step off. The surface absorbs water on contact and evaporates in seconds under normal bathroom conditions. The mat is dry before your next use.

Do not place it face-down or stack objects on top of it while wet. Allow the surface to breathe after use.

Wipe. Rinse. Dry.

For everyday dust and surface residue, wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, rinse under running water and allow to air dry completely in a ventilated space before returning to use.

If absorption slows.

Over time, mineral deposits from hard water or fine particles can partially block the surface pores. If you notice the mat absorbing more slowly than usual, lightly sand the surface with the included sandpaper using circular motions until the surface feels smooth and slightly matte again.

Rinse, dry, and return to use. Absorption will be fully restored. This is the only maintenance the mat will ever require.

Grip and protection.

The included anti-slip rubber pad sits between the mat and your floor. It holds by friction. It does not attach permanently. If it shifts over time, reposition it.

Rinse the pad occasionally with water and allow to dry before replacing. Do not fold or crease the pad as this reduces its grip surface.

Handle with intention.

Do not drop the mat onto hard surfaces from height. Diatomaceous earth is a mineral and can crack under sharp impact. Do not expose to prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause surface discoloration over time.

If storing for an extended period, ensure the mat is completely dry first. Store flat, not on its edge. Keep away from moisture.
