Bath Mat question....

I guess this mostly applies to people who have the traditional tub/shower combo and smaller bathrooms.

Do you keep your bathmat down on the floor all the time, or do you keep it hung on the side of the tub (hidden by the shower curtain) and just put it on the floor during showers?

I always have kept mine on the floor at all times, but it's starting to gross me out. I wash it w/ bleach weekly but still......

What do you do?

Re: Bath Mat question....

  • I keep mine on the floor all the time too and wash when it looks like it needs it.

  • Because the bathroom is small and fortunately rectangular, I buy one largish bathroom rug and use that with weekly washings and avoid the bath mat all together. 
  • I keep mine and floor and wash it weekly.  I do rotate about 3 of them, so it's not 365 days of the same mat. 
    Turns out not where, but who you're with that really matters....DMB
  • I have a small throw rug in front of the sink.

    For the bath/shower, we use a floor towel for several reasons.  It matches the other towels and doesn't look like a bath mat.  it gets hung up and drieds fast, it is not on the floor except for showers/bath time, I also use that towel to dry down the marble walls (after I have rinsed the shower/tub walls with the hand-held water handle)  a towel is bigger than a bath mat.

  • We hang ours up when it's not in use.

    DH yells at me if I leave it down.

    He's probably right. It is easier for it to air out, and it probably fluffs it back up when he shakes it out.

    I just like to trample them down and buy a new one every few years, but he likes to take care of it and make me take care of it too.

  • I hang mine over the shower rod to keep it away from the cats. For some reason, one of my cats likes to pee on my bathmats 0_o. This has been the easiest solution for me. Prettiest? No. But I'd rather have a bathmat over the shower rod than a cat-pee mat.
