The simple bath or shower mat isn't the straight forward choice is once was. There are now a huge number of materials and designs to choose from. Check out our blog article 'Which type of bath mat is right for you?'
Our mats are designed to last. At the end of their life, we urge you to return them to us and we will grind them into a material that can be reused to make more mats, or added to soil to improve moisture retention. Even if you put them in your bin they will do not decompose and release polluting gases in landfill as the alternatives might.
Most bath or shower mats tend to be either a cotton or a synthetic alternative with a rubber or similar plastic backing. Most recycling systems are very poor at separating materials that are bonded together therefore such products are highly unlikely to be recycled. Wood or bamboo mats tend to eventually rot under wet conditions and the coating applied to them to prevent this will ultimately make them difficult to recycle. Check out our blog on which types of bath mats can be recycled and which can't.
According to appliance technicians, fabric bath and shower mats are too bulky and become heavier when wet than modern washing machines are designed to handle. Natural steps bath and shower mats are kept clean without the need for wasting energy and water using a washing machine and dryer, simply wipe clean. Most conventional bath and shower mats are routinely machine washed, but the temperature is too low and therefore insufficient to kill all bacteria or too hot and will shrink the material. Machine washing and drying is very problematic for rubber backed bath mats as the material will degrade and clog the washing machine over time, shortening the life and landing you with a sizeable repair bill. Check out our blog covering this question in full.

You need food, water, a place to live, friends, family but most 'things' we don't need. The purpose of a bath or shower mat is prevent slips and also damage to your bathroom floors, so a bath mat is useful if not totally essentially. Natural Stap bath mats are more useful than most, which we think are pretty pointless or create their own problems. We fully encourage you to buy less stuff, unless it serves a genuine purpose in your life and isn't horrific for the planet
