I love our DE mat. We had an issue with one of our cats peeing on the cotton mats while they were damp, which is why we switched, but i personally find it oddly luxurious. Clearly not soft and cushy tho.
Comment on What is your bath mat situation?

My partner bought a diatomaceous earth bathmat to replace the rug in front of the shower. It’s like stepping onto a piece of cardboard, so zero points for luxury. It does catch and re-evaporate the water well, so full marks there. Humidity is naturally low here, so no I have little to no worries about mold.

I have one if those and love it! It’s never wet and the cat doesn’t pee on it.

Never knew this was a thing. My wife has now ordered one 😆

Huh, weird. DE? I’ve used it to filter beer at a small brewery and I use it as a natural insecticide.

In case anyone was wondering, as a powder, it dries the fuck out of insects who cross it

Yeah; we’ve got one too - primarily for when you first get out of the shower.
