Preferably, the ratio of fibre to diatomaceous earth is in the range 1:6 to 6:1 and the fibrous material contains relatively long fibres, such as would be obtained from the manufacturing or pulping of quality paper, for example fibres in the range 1 mm to 4 mm. The invention also provides a poultice mixture comprising fibre, diatomaceous earth and water and optional additives such as a binder or thickening agent and a biocide. The invention also provides a method of removing salt from a salt permeable object comprising the step of applying the poultice mixture to the salt permeable object.
