I had to give those rubberr ofyle ones. So much better.

Try again. I had to give those up in favor of hotel style mats they just throw in the wash with towels. They are thicker and work fine.

I use those in my personal bathrooms, but need non-slip for the rental space. Slipping in the bathroom is a major source of issues for complaints and refunds for Airbnb hosts.

Are you sure this is always the case for rental? I have a beachfront condo run by a serious agency that appears on vrbo, Airbnb and other rental sites. I don’t do any of this mysel. Your mat question hasn’t been case for us, as they furnish all bedding and towels with fine hotel quality thick ones. I’m curious now :)

Our FL rental home did not have rubber nonslip bath mats, but there were two sets of some type of mats that didn’t slide. I’d bleach them and air dry while the other set was down. Every linen was white which drove me a little crazy keeping them clean.

I don't know if this would work for you, Annette, but I hate those rubber nonslip mats -- for the disintegration and for how they start to look so matted -- so stopped using them quite some time ago.

In one bathroom where I have slipping concerns, I have an inexpensive wool Persian rug over a good rug pad, and then the regular cotton bath mat goes on top of the rug at bath time.

I just vacuum the rug, which wears like iron, and wash the bath mat.

The hot water and the dryer is causing the damage to the rubber backing.

I wash in warm wather, then air dry non-slip rugs. If they wrinkle in the washer I'll put them in the dryer for a couple minutes on low heat.

I find the rugs hold up well......as long as they're a good quality to begin with.

If matts without antislip on them use something like : Stopp from Ikea, anti slipp

Now you can use what ever matt you like and make it antislipp and wash it hove ever you like.

In my own bathroom, I use a thick mat that is like a towel. They don't slip. Now, I have taken to using these microfiber towels that are large and thick that I get at The Rag Company. I had one style for drying, but it was too thick to dry between showers. So I threw one on the ground to use as a tiny mat and I liked it. One time use, then onto the rail for drying or into the laundry with the towels. I wash my microfiber for bathroom shower wall drying at 140f without issue. I have all white. I don't know if that could work for you. I've just started doing this in the last 2 weeks, so far, so good.

I am so done with rubber backed bath mats. I has some for a couple of years, even though I knew better. I've gone back to 100% cotton. Kohl's, Lands End, and Vermont Country Store all have them.

Hmm, can you make the floor non-slip? Don't roll your eyes, but one-inch tile, with a cloth bath mat on top, is less likely to slip.

bpath Oh Sophie - I use those inexpensive rug liners Link for illustration purposes like this under my all cotton reversible bath mats. Cut to size with everyday scissors. Same type I have under the fake oriental runner and small rugs. After a few years they lose their grip and I just replace them.
