What colour bath mats do you have?

[SailAwaySandra]

I love my white, fluffy bath sheets. But I am finding my white bath mats are getting FILTHY after just one use (disabled DC probably the culprit with his enthusiasm for water splashing etc)

What colour are your bath mats? They seem to constantly be soaked and not drying properly, and looking grubby. Hand towels and bath towels all white and they’re fine

We have lots of bath mats (and an extensive number of matching towels as well) and use them to add colour to the bathrooms.

Lots of white (of course) plus a couple of black, grey, some blue/white stripped, multicolour and our favourites which are vivid orange.

Because of the amount, storage took some serious thinking about!😆

@Fortesque But a bathmat and a towel used as a bathmat are the same thing! There's no law to say it has to be sat there on the floor when you're not using it, ours goes on a towel rail tucked away behind the door.

I suppose if he prefers washing and drying endless towels to whatever he finds objectionable about a bathmat then it's up to him.

We have an orange one from Ikea. I don't know why it's that colour, it was probably because it was in the sale.

We don't have white anything (towels, sheets, bathmats, clothes) because I CBA with the maintenance and prefer something a bit more cheery.

Earlier this year we went on holiday a couple of weeks after I'd dyed my hair and I had to dry it on a beach towel because even though it had been washed a few times, it was still staining the white towels.

Various colours, I’m not fussy 🤗

I was just about to recommend a stone bath mat. They are so good and you can just wipe them clean.

Mine are the thick Egyptian cotton type and they are dark grey.

I stopped buying those noodle type bath mats years ago as they seem to wreck the washing machine as they're so heavy.

I'm with your husband!

You can get ultra heavy weight towel type mats that don't wrinkle up. Wash really well too.

I used to gave a Cork one that was great.
I don't have any now as only have showers and they're bug enough to dry down before you get out.

Black looks nice with white towels.
I've also got white, orange, green and there’s one with a picture on it somewhere.

Uhoh, the next mn discussion. In case you wondered where he was.

white. only ever white because they wash/bleach so well.
just have a couple so one is always ready and one being washed.
Hanging out on washing line in the summer is a bonus

nothing too carpet-like as wet carpet in a loo is horrible

Dark green. My mom has terracotta ones .

Clear/ transparent with yellow ducks on it. I got it from Wilko's a few years before it closed.

That's what we have - white cotton bath mats like the ones you get in hotels. They are cheap, quick to wash and dry and easy to store.

Teal and I have a green one https://www.re-foundobjects.com/product/view/cotton-bath-mats

Deep pink in my ensuite to match my towels and blind in my bedroom (can you tell first time I had all female zone😌). Dark grey in main bathroom that my sons use.

Ive got these in the natural and duck egg, they wear really well and dry really quickly . Also they’re not heavy to wash which was a problem with my previous ones. 2 years on and they still look like new

I've got 3, all from Asda -

Blue
Teal
Blue and white patterned

I have matching hand towel and bath mat. I've got teal, green, grey, pink. Our bath towels are totally different and we each have different colours.

Min are teal. We had duckboards
For a while but they were just pointless.

I’ve this and had it for yonks, matches the towels, doesn’t show any dirt really.
