The bathroom is one of the most relaxing rooms in any home—or it should be. From sustainable spa sessions to a.m. and p.m. skincare routines, our bathroom sessions help us ground down and glow up. Unfortunately, the room also contributes to a fair amount of waste (no, not that kind).

The average American household uses more than 400 rolls of toilet paper per year, and the water footprint that comes with our baths, showers, and products is enough to make said relaxation seem like an impossibility.

And did we mention the bacteria? Take your bath mat. The abbreviated rug stays damp for hours at a time, and unless washed weekly (and let’s all be honest, that’s not going to happen…) it harbors dirt, germs, and mildew.

But wait! What if we told you that there is a new brand of bath mat that dries instantly, minimizing the gross-out factor while maximizing your eco-chic? Say hello to the Terra Stone Bath Mat. Crafted from quick-drying diatomaceous earth, this mat makes your out-of-the-shower step a sustainable step forward.

What Is Diatomaceous Earth?

Diatomaceous earth isn’t actually earth at all. Rather, the unique material is made of the fossils of tiny aquatic organisms. The skeletons of these diminutive aquatics, aka diatoms, are made of silica, and provide a non-toxic, regenerative, and generally sustainable to the bathroom rugs we’ve come to know.

What Sets the Terra Stone Bath Mat Apart?

The Terra Stone Bath Mat is extremely absorbent, managing to foster evaporation in mere seconds (like magic!). This leaves little time for mildew and bacteria to form and fester. Watch below as the footprints disappear right before your eyes:

As far as aesthetics go, the bath mat’s clean, sleek presentation helps in cultivating a spa-like atmosphere, the ultimate endgame for any at-home bathroom.

So what are you waiting for? Ditch the ratty bacteria-ridden rug and elevate your bathroom game.
