- Does it stick to textured tub floors?
- Suction is strongest on smooth, flat surfaces. On textured or curved tub floors the cups can release, so press each one down firmly before use.
- How do I stop it from getting mildew?
- Lift the mat off the tub and hang or drape it to dry after each shower. Rinse off soap residue regularly, since trapped water is what causes the spots.
- Will it fit a standard bathtub?
- At 17 by 36 inches it covers the floor of most standard tubs. Measure your tub floor first if it is a compact or oversized model.
- Is it machine washable?
- No. Wipe it with a mild cleaner and rinse by hand, then air dry. A washing machine can distort the foam and weaken the suction cups.
- How does it compare with a rubber bath mat?
- The foam is softer and lighter, but rubber mats generally last longer and resist mildew better. Choose this one for comfort and low cost, rubber for durability.
- Can it be used in a shower stall?
- Yes, if the shower floor is smooth and flat. Cut it only if needed, and check that the suction cups still sit flat after trimming.
- Where is the Mainstays foam bathtub mat with suction cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $11.44, as of our latest check.
