For the bathroom floor, not the shower or tub. Thanks!

All non-slip bathroom mats only have SO much life in them before the backing falls apart & they have to be replaced. After about 50 washings, it's time for a new mat, it seems to me.

I recommend drying them on a low temperature in the dryer. This did wonders for the life of mine!

I use the rolls of rubbery material that has tiny holes in it and cut it for length. It’s the stuff people put in cabinets so dishes don’t slide. I found 18 ft roll and cut new piece as needed. They were at Target.

I apologize I thought you meant for inside bathtub.
I would buy 2 so one can hang dry after washing. They still only have so much life though:(

I use the memory foam ones. It doesn't slip and holds alot of water and can be washed. Holds up well.

I, too, stopped using the dryer for all my throw rugs that have a rubber backing. The heat was cracking the rubber.

Thus, if it is a nice sunny day, I will wash the rug and throw it over the deck railing to dry, flipping it over every now and then :)

Thanks so much for everyone’s reply. I have not heard of the memory foam ones, so I will look into them. The latex-type backing on the lower quality mats I have been using have been falling apart after a few washings. I have been putting them out in the sun to dry. (The better quality ones were too thick and took several days outside to dry). But with the colder weather coming, a drying rack sounds like a good idea. My mom seems to need these washed frequently.

Interesting about the “non-skid” shelf covering to be used in the shower. Thanks for that idea too.
