Where does the bath mat go?

Is yours always on the floor, or propped up on the side of the bath until it's needed?

Do you even have one at all? Xmas Shock

Duckboard here as well.
It's supposed to tuck into the space between the bath panel and the bathroom cabinet. But most members of the household leave it on the floor...

It is supposed to hang over the bath, but I am the only one that seems to do that. It now goes in the wash daily with all the other towels.

I have to hang it on the side of the bath if I want the bathroom door to close completely

I live by myself so i only move it when I actually have to close the door Grin

Ours is on the floor by the shower. Boy cat has taken to pissing on it so now I put it over the bath.
When I do that family get a clean one out because they are all fecking blind and leave it on the floor and boy cat pisses on it.
Can't win.

Mine is one like you have in hotels, like a slightly thicker towel. It gets folded into quarters and hung over the bottom section of the towel rail. DPs have a more traditional thick one which gets put over the side of the bath.

Leave it on the floor because we've got under floor heating and it dries out quicker

As the mat is wet, i rinse it and then I stick it to the tiled wall to dry. It's out the way and not going on the floor etc

Same! Hate when DH leaves it on the floor as the door hits it and screws it up

So over the bath here - plus it dries that way

Mine stays on the floor I don't have a bath to hang it on

Theoldwoman · 13/01/2022 14:42

I collect all the towels each morning after showers and wash them, put clean ones out. The mat stays down on the floor all day.

Over the side of the bath. I am the only person who bothers to put it there Hmm

bonfireheart · 15/01/2022 12:52

Don't have one, don't understand the point of them.

Sagaris · 15/01/2022 12:53

Over the radiator until it's dry - it gets musty in a few days otherwise.

Blush21 · 15/01/2022 13:07

Mine are always on the floor but I buy fast dry ones and they don’t tend to get too wet but if noticeable wet I tend to just Chuck them in the wash a small put fresh down.

Ours is cork and lives tucked between the bath and the laundry bin.
