Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring, sedimentary rock that is made up of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of single-celled algae. This fine, powdery substance has a number of uses, including as a natural insecticide, a filtration aid, and even as a dietary supplement. But did you know that diatomaceous earth is also great for your home?
At Selegna, we use diatomaceous earth to create our home and kitchen products, including dish racks, bath mats, and sink caddies. Here are some of the reasons why diatomaceous earth is such a great material for your home:
-
Natural and non-toxic: Diatomaceous earth is a natural material that is completely non-toxic and safe for use in the home. Unlike some conventional materials that can release harmful chemicals into the environment, diatomaceous earth is completely safe and environmentally friendly.
-
Antibacterial and antimicrobial: Diatomaceous earth has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which means that it can help keep your home clean and hygienic. Our diatomaceous earth bath mats, for example, are naturally resistant to mold and mildew, making them a great choice for your bathroom.
-
Absorbent and quick-drying: Diatomaceous earth is highly absorbent, which makes it great for use in bath mats and other household items that are likely to get wet. Our diatomaceous earth bath mats are not only absorbent, but they are also quick-drying, which means that they won't develop a musty odor like some conventional bath mats.
-
Sustainable and renewable: Diatomaceous earth is a sustainable and renewable resource that is mined from ancient lakebeds around the world. Unlike some conventional materials that are derived from non-renewable sources, diatomaceous earth can be replenished over time, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
-
Versatile: Diatomaceous earth is a highly versatile material that can be used in a wide range of applications. In addition to our home and kitchen products, diatomaceous earth is also used as a natural insecticide, a filtration aid, and even as a dietary supplement.
At Selegna, we believe that diatomaceous earth is one of the best materials for creating eco-friendly, sustainable, and functional home and kitchen products. If you're looking for a way to make your home more environmentally friendly, consider investing in products made from diatomaceous earth.
