Bathroom mats about home HOT 5 OPEN

Of course!

My list of requirements:

• Dry feet or mop up spills and overflows well (ie absorbent)
• Dry quickly
• Easily washed
• Preferably tumble dried
• Don't show dirt too easily
• Size spans the whole width of the shower cubicle

What would yours be?

from home.

Fair. Quite high up there, probably at number 4 after easily washed (hygiene being a bigger factor than price).

With this criteria, only one option fits the bill - maybe I've engineered it to be my favourite 😅

Can we A/B test these to figure out which are most effective at meeting the requirements? 💭

@iteles these are all good requirements. Are they in priority order? You haven’t mentioned price … where would you rank price? (Given that we are need at least 16 to be able to cycle them…)

from home.

My list of priorities; pretty similar to yours:

1. Non-slip. As much as possible.#SafetyFirst The last thing we want is a wet bath mat slipping under someone. 😕
2. Fast drying . Tumble Dry-able is a bonus but definitely not a requirement (IMO). If we have a laundry room and enough of these. Tumble drying increases the cost of ownership by 5x. If you spend 5kwh per week (per batch) drying these it's €1! That rapidly adds up to more than the price of the item. e.g. you can fit 10 mats in a wash+dry load. That means €1 x 52 weeks = €52/year on drying... 💸 This is "OK" if there's no other alternative. But we know we can do better.
3. Easy wash - this doesn't rule-out non-slip materials like rubber-backing. Just worth consideration.
4. Ease/speed of processing time, e.g. non-iron.
5. Price. (I'd sooner pay more for the above features than less for an inferior product..)
6. Dark color. e.g: charcoal grey. this matches our bathroom floor tiles. 👌

@iteles happy for you to order any you want. But for me the most important thing isn't the mats but the #system we need to define for cycling them regularly and NEVER removing a mat without replacing it. 🤦‍♂️
