Non slip shower mats

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

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 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.

We’ve never used one, just be careful

We never used one

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 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

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.

Soft flipflops for me.

Boots sella good one

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

My DH bought one for the shower over our bath, tried to adjust it whilst standing on it and promptly fell out of the bath! I just heard the noise and flew upstairs to find him climbing up from the floor looking suitably embarrassed, but fortunately not hurt

We have this one from Ikea. Easy to hang up after use to avoid mould.

Ikea rubber ones. Replace every two years - unlike plastic ones they will rot away in landfill not last for 1000 years!

You can wash the plastic ones on a 30 degree cycle in your washing machine when they start to look water stained.

We got one off amazon, it was called a loofah shower mat and has been great. We always stand it up after a shower and let it drain and dry out a bit. Have had it a few years now and washed the non slip side when power washing the garden, still good, and would replace it with same one if we needed to.

I just use a rubber one, about £7 from Boots IIRC. Our shower is over the bath, though, so maybe different. It’s our 3rd - first 2 went mouldy underneath after I forgot to hang them over the side of the bath before going away.

I buy the plastic ones with suckers from Dunelm or any supermarket, once they start to discolour, about 3 - 4 months, I buy a new one.

Our shower has a non slip floor. No mats needed.

So is ours but we added sucker type mats for added safety.
The shower room was installed last Spring and the installer told us all new shower trays are non slip now. I have noticed that even a few drops of shampoo or shower gel on the tray and it is slippy which if you have poor mobility could be dangerous so we play safe.

Ours is non slip too but the minute shampoo or shower gel are used it gets slippy as hell.

I use a small towel which when its wet does not slip , I then pop it into the laundry

Thanks AskAlice. That looks good and I see you can use it in the bath as well as the shower. Off to measure up.

Sores the sliders allow water to cover the feet. They're open at the front and sides. I also slip them off, one at a time, for safety, to pay attention to my toes.
I certainly hadn't thought of the sliders as chic. . Just safe.

I use a waffle-weave cotton teatowel, one of several which I bought years ago but discarded as not being as good for drying dishes as the linen ones. Once it is wet it clings to the shower base and doesn't slide around. After the shower it gets wrung out and hung over the grab rail, and it is washed with the towels - having several means there is no pause while the washed one dries.. It never gets dirty-looking or mouldy.

Same here, we bought them in Madeira some years ago and they’re very useful, much easier as well than trying to keep a rubber mat mould free, they are always a nightmare.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have ordered the mat that AskAlice kindly sent a link to. This is a great forum!
