I’ve used a towel style bath mat for decades, I think it’s the most hygenic. It goes on the floor to shower, then gets hung to dry between showers.
I lay floors and hadn’t seen a “permanent” bath mat in years but ran into one today. It was that typical shag rug style, bright pink. This was a clean house but it was strange to me, I didn’t think anyone used those anymore.
I just got one of those stone bath mats and it’s amazing. I always used to dry my feet especially and everything else in the shower. Now I just hop out and slop water all over it. It’s so cool
Those are next level. They reduced the mold problem by my shower dramatically and I’ve ended up recommending these things to everyone who will listen.
