- Does the Tendance Bubbles mat stay put on smooth tile?
- The bubbles and textured PVC add grip, but there are no suction cups. On very smooth or wet tile it can slide, so check that your shower floor has some texture.
- How big is it compared with a full tub mat?
- It is 20 by 20 inches, a square. That covers a small shower stall floor or part of a tub, not the whole length of a standard tub.
- Can it go in the washing machine?
- Hand washing with soap and warm water is the safer routine. Machine washing and high heat can warp soft PVC and shorten its life.
- Will mold grow under it?
- PVC has no built-in mildew protection. Lift the mat after each shower and rinse it regularly so water does not sit underneath.
- Is it comfortable for bare feet?
- Yes. The raised bubbles are soft and give a light massage feel, which reviewers of bubble mats generally like compared with flat rubber mats.
- Does it work on a textured or tiled shower floor?
- It works best on smooth, flat surfaces. On heavily textured or sloped floors the mat may not sit flush and grip can vary.
- Where is the Tendance Bubbles Non-Slip Square Shower cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $22.60, as of our latest check.
