I’ve used a towel style bath mat for decades, I think it’s the most hygenic. It goes on the floor to shower, then gets hung to dry between showers.
I lay floors and hadn’t seen a “permanent” bath mat in years but ran into one today. It was that typical shag rug style, bright pink. This was a clean house but it was strange to me, I didn’t think anyone used those anymore.
It’s a literal towel on the floor, usually the last one used. Then after everyone has had their showers/baths, the floor towel goes into the wash and the towels used once by a person are hung to be used one more time.
I do also have bath rugs but they also can go in the wash if they sit wet on the floor. But typically an actual towel to catch the actively wet drippings.
Nice, recycling. I like the structured feeling of the floor mat towel but have definitely used yesterday’s towel when necessary.
We have a specific towel we don’t like
We have those bathmats that are just mats without a rubber backing. The rubber backed ones tend to get really ratty and messed up in a dryer.
The pure cloth ones tend to last longer, imo. And they don’t make your clothes smell like rubber. White ones work best, as they can be bleached as needed.
Stone like thing
How do you like it? Those look cool.
I like it. Have had it for 2 years. Was worried about mold and stuff but there is zero mold still.
My partner bought a diatomaceous earth bathmat to replace the rug in front of the shower. It’s like stepping onto a piece of cardboard, so zero points for luxury. It does catch and re-evaporate the water well, so full marks there. Humidity is naturally low here, so no I have little to no worries about mold.
Never knew this was a thing. My wife has now ordered one 😆
I have a few nice cushiony ones that are quite comfortable to stand on. They stay in use for quite a long time before I swap them out because they don’t get that dirty. Though I recently learned that may be because apparently some people don’t towel off in the shower first like I do, and instead just immediately step out after finishing their shower, dripping water all over the floor. Thankfully, these people do not live with me. Lol
Yeah we towel off in the shower.
We have a wooden slat type mat thing. Inevitably a few drips on the floor but not a puddle.
It got mouldy once, I put it outside in the sun for a few days.
A wooden one? Can you send a picture? That actually sounds kinda interesting.
I just got one of those stone bath mats and it’s amazing. I always used to dry my feet especially and everything else in the shower. Now I just hop out and slop water all over it. It’s so cool
Are this kind of bath mat cold in the winter?
I only just got it in February and it wasn’t cold then.
