• Let it fully dry between uses. If overly saturated, stand it upright to dry; when it returns to its original light color, it’s ready to use again.
• Use the included non-slip base/ silicone cover / legs (depending on the product) to keep the product slightly elevated and promote air circulation underneath.
• Diatomite dries rapidly, but if it stays saturated without airflow, mold can eventually develop

• Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove dust or light marks.
• For deeper cleaning or to restore absorption, lightly dampen the area with water, then gently sand with the included sandpaper (preferably in a well-ventilated area).
• Always allow the product to dry fully before reusing.

• Start with mild soap and water; gently clean the area and rinse thoroughly.
• For more persistent marks, you may use a small amount of diluted bleach or hydrogen peroxide, then rinse thoroughly.
• Air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
  
  Note: Darker liquids (coffee, tea, self-tanner) can stain if absorbed; lighter
  liquids typically do not. If spills occur, quickly remove them with a clean cloth or paper
  towel—avoid rubbing.

• Handle with care: diatomite is strong but can chip or crack if dropped or hit.
• Keep on a flat, dry surface with room for air to circulate; avoid enclosed or constantly wet areas.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on top and keep away from direct heat sources.
