What do you wash with your bath mat?

[DoingItForTheKid]

To balance your machine. Seems dirty to wash it with anything else.

I wash it with a normal wash. Surely the whole point of a wash is that it cleans everything - whatever is on the mat will wash away as will everything on everything else.

Eh? I wash it with my other towels.

Towels.

Why is it dirty to wash it with anything else? Hasn't it only had feet on it?

I shove mine in with whatever needs washing.

Towels on hot wash

I'm a filthy animal - I throw everything in together. My children have all survived to adulthood (caveat - I don't let things go too long without a wash and I'd be more cautious if someone was poorly)

I have a couple & they're quite big & heavy- so I just wash them together & that's it

Even when I had smaller, lighter ones, I didn't wash them with the towels. But I'm 'fussy' I don't wash tea towels with anything else at all.

Towels or anything really. The point of the washing machine is thst it all comes out clean, after all.

Its had clean feet on it so in with the towels or whatever else is that colour.

I washed washable nappies with towels and sheets and nothing terrible has happened, bet I'm a sloppy person by MN standards.

Towels, tea towels and cleaning cloths. On a 60° wash with laundry bleach.

I shove my washable sanitary towels in with my normal colours wash, is that filth too?

By comparison you could eat your dinner off my bath mat.

I don’t get it OP - how is a bath mat different from any other towel?

I was with towels on a hot wash - it gets washed once a week and aired in between uses so it's really not that dirty

Towels. Any tea towels needing washing too.

I wash my towels weekly so it’s really not that dirty. No dirtier than the towels you use to dry your body.

I have 3 so I wash them together with all the toilet mats and the little indoor doormat that's by the back door.

Towels or bedding - hot wash

I find the idea that dirty things can’t be washed with cleaner things VERY odd.

@WinterAndRoughWeather I do that with my San Pro too. Only thing is I don't put tea towels in the same load.
Re bath mats - it's a rule in my house that bath mat get picked up after every use and slung over the side of the bath so spiders can get out of the bath and scuttle off to wherever they go so grubby feet don't stamp all over them. Much easier to enforce since it's been only DH and I at home.

Yes we always hang the bath mat on the towel rail after use, else it stays damp.

I do find toilet mats gross though (not that it would stop me bunging them in any old wash), I can’t see the appeal. If there are men in the house, that mat is guaranteed to be soaked with piss.

I use an old towel that Ive kept just for this reason but I’m thinking I should buy another bat mat and just wash them together

Towels, cleaning cloths or bed linen, ie things that I wash at 60.

Towels

Winter, not filth at all, sensible idea to fill up the machine. My DP didn't give two hoots about me washing the nappies with his pants and pyjamas and towels, and he's pretty fussy.
I answered this as only today I washed a bathmat my MIL gave me ages ago for the first time, actually it lives under a smaller towel mat. I washed it with the downstairs mat and 2 of DPs jeans to answer your question.
