Next bath mat

[Eatmycake3333]

Didn’t know where to post. Redecorated my bathroom, new ceiling, painted. Had to get new Lino too. Nothing fancy. Bought a new bath mat. Lifted it the other day and it’s totally marked my new flooring. Iv scrubbed it with bleach still not coming off. I’m complaining to next,but not sure what they will do.

How disappointing, a bath mat is one thing you'd expect to be colourfast.

How do you want Next to resolve it? - it helps to be crystal clear about what solution you want when making a complaint.

Did your wash it before you used it ? Not that you should have to.

I would try pink stuff or toothpaste.

This!

Have you tried old fashioned CIF or astonish? Something abrasive

Do you leave it down all the time?

Surely bath mat only goes down when you use it, then drape over bath to air dry?

Not suprised floor is marked if yoh left a wet bath mat on the floor

Only real option is to see if they'll compensate you the cost to have it replaced. Not sure if it's where you've been scrubbing but it does look faded on one side, perhaps try a few different cleaning products and see if anything else works, separately of course, maybe something lightly abrasive.

Two questions, did you wash it before it went down and do you lift it after use to dry away from the floor?

I would be very upset if I were you though as obviously this is not what you expect. I wouldn't ever think to wash a bath mat before it goes down but I do lift mats to dry off of the floor just so they can dry properly.

I've had issues with Next bathroom products myself, though in my case it was a mirror and matching loo roll holder that rusted about 14 months after they went in.
Seems Next haven't figured out that bathrooms are damp places still.

How long has it been on the floor?

It looks like you may have just been leaving it on the floor, even when wet, and the dye has run.
Do you remember if the washing instructions said to wash before use?

This, 100%

Try a magic eraser... works on pretty much everything!

I think it was pretty much guaranteed that would stain, tbh.

If it was me, I would scrub it with elbow grease and warm soapy water. It will fade in time.

eh? Were did I my post say I left it wet on the floor? Surely it gets a bit wet when you step on it after coming out of the bath shower?
anyway enough of the plonkers!
i always after my bath, hang it over the bath to dry. It never sits on the floor to dry. Plus it was washed when I bought. There is no way this should have damaged my flooring like this. Thank you to all the posts with some useful cleaning tip. Thanks

Ah the joys of mumsnet @Eatmycake3333 - try astonish x
