Re: Tell me how diatomaceous earth is used for in our indust
Not sure about cleaning products, but it makes for a great pool filter media. Also.....sprinkle around your house foundation if you have ants trying to get in. It is supposed to get into their systems and destroy their musco-skelital system.
It has been used to prevent wicking stains on carpet but there are better ways to handle this situation. DE has also been used in poultice material to help pull stains out of concrete and stone.
I understand that California considers DE as being a possible carcinogen, requires special handling.
My first use of it was with Dr Edgar P York when he taught us how to use it on bleeders whether it be fabric or or rugs. It is a great absorbant for wicking stains and weak upholstry fabric.
