Non slip shower mats

Has anyone suggestions for decent shower mats? I bought two Magic mats for my husband to use in the shower but over time they have become mouldy despite being expensive and despite trying to clean them, I am ready to throw them out.

I stand on two face flannels. Easy to wash and dry them afterwards.

Soft flipflops for me.

But that Amazon one looks good. Our shower tray is rectangular. I like idea that it can be stuck to tiles vertically when not in use. I think one for bath would be good as well.

We use these. The art is though not to leave them laying in the shower / bath when you finished. Hang them over the edge so they can drain properly. www.amazon.co.uk/Bingobang-60x40cm-Anti-Mould-Machine-Washable-Bathroom/dp/B0B1968VDQ?pf_rd_p=c8b31a2d-7237-4f32-9823-4733e70b9aac&th=1&pf_rd_r=B52QKRS5789AM7DC219Q&pd_rd_wg=ft3is&pd_rd_i=B0B1968VDQ&ref_=pd_basp_d_rpt_ba_s_1_pr_t&pd_rd_w=Qbtic&content-id=amzn1.sym.c8b31a2d-7237-4f32-9823-4733e70b9aac&tag=gransnetforum-21&pd_rd_r=6b014a6c-ec8e-43a0-859c-a754297852b9

Funny you should mention. We have a problem with the bottom of a shower curtain going mouldy pretty quick. So even though I ordered a new one I sprayed the old one with this and it worked -white as white.
Then I thought I would try it on the shower mat, just sprayed and left then rinsed. Abracadabra...happy days.

We’ve never used one, just be careful

I bought my shower mar from Elys in Wimbledon for £10 17 years ago. I shake most of the moisture off and lay it over a small plastic stool - still going strong and slip proof.

I use Dikots Non-slip, washable and quick-drying shower mat for inside the shower. Buy it from Amazon £9.99. It's supposed to be able to be washed in a machine but have never tried that in case of damaging machine with any loose fibres. I rinse both sides daily and then hang to drip dry over bath taps. lasts around 4 mths before any sign of mould on the underside at which time I buy another.

I cut a shower mat in half and always take half on holiday wherever we go.
