How do I keep my bath mat from going mouldy underneath?

[Fizzylemonade]

It is in the bath in the main bathroom (we have en-suite shower so rarely use the bathroom) and my boys have bubbles in the bath and also their hair is washed daily (it is needed as ds2 puts all sorts of food and salt dough in his hair!)

I rinse the bath out after they had finished but the mat still ends up slimey underneath and then starts to turn a nice grey colour around the suckers. Nice.

I know that I need to lift it out of the bath to dry but where do I put it???? How do you all do it?

I try to hang mine as much as possible to dry. When it gets bad I will fill the sink with hot water and bleach then put the mat in the soak. Then use a brush to mix it up occasionally. Seems to help remove the gunk and on a white mat bring it back up to brilliant white again. You have to throughly rinse though
