F.A.Q

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is naturally made from the fossilized remains of diatoms, which are microscopic algae with hard shells rich in silica.  

The stone is crafted using a process that blends diatomaceous earth, a naturally occurring sediment made from fossilized algae (diatoms) that has been mined, purified, and ground into industrial-grade or calcined, a high-temperature process that removes moisture or volatile components and alters chemical structure, then mixed with wood fibers.

The porous surface of the diatomaceous stone is super absorbent.  This means it will stain easily as well, which can add character to your tray.  You can clean it using half vinegar and water mix, scrub, then rinse.
For heavier stains, you can use a solution of bleach and water to remove after cleaning. 

You can break it up into smaller pieces and compost it to send it back to the earth.  
You can send us the stainless steel legs for proper recycling.
