If you think a bath mat isn’t exciting, then you’ve probably never seen one made of diatomaceous earth. The material is durable, attractive, and highly absorbent—perfect for busy households.

Bob Vila’s Executive Editor Sophie Kaemmerle recently purchased a diatomaceous earth bath mat and put it to the test. “Now, I know what you’re thinking,” she says, “it’s not very soft, it doesn’t have that spa luxury feel to it, but just look at this…the absorbency is incredible!”

Watch the video below to see just how quickly water disappears from Sophie’s new favorite bath mat.
