One. Can diatomaceous mud be wiped clean?
No.
Clay-based materials cannot be washed. If the clay-based material is washable, it is not true clay-based material; it should be referred to as "silica paint."
High-quality diatomaceous putty powder has self-cleaning properties, eliminating the need for extensive cleaning of large wall surfaces. For daily cleaning, you can use a clean dry towel, a duster, a brush, or a soft-bristled brush typically used for cleaning beds, to gently remove dust from the walls. Alternatively, you can easily vacuum up the dust with a lightweight vacuum cleaner.
Truly functional diatomaceous earth, which is free from chemical materials like binders, maintains the original state of diatomaceous earth, with countless micro-pores on the surface actively working. Therefore, it cannot be washed.
Two. What to do if the diatomaceous wall becomes dirty?
1、For stains on diatomaceous earth surfaces, such as pencil marks or shoe marks, simply use a rubber eraser to gently wipe them away, or lightly sand with fine sandpaper to easily remove them. This can be easily performed by the homeowner.
3. If the wall surface is accidentally stained with oil, water, or juice, we understand that due to the strong water absorption capacity of diatomaceous earth, it is necessary to immediately wipe the liquid off the wall. Light stains can be removed by gently dabbing with a clean cloth dampened with a mild chlorine-based bleach. If the stain is large and has penetrated deeply, it can be gently scraped off with a knife.
3. If the stains have penetrated deep into the wall, the manufacturer's after-sales service personnel can remove the affected diatomaceous earth by soaking it with water locally and then repairing it.
