Slimey mouldy bathmats

Our shower is over the bath with a mixer tap. The bath is slippery so we have one of those rubber bathmat things with suckers underneath, but it goes horrible within a few days. We are too busy (lazy) to take it up and clean between showers and wondered if anyone has a solution to this problem? The bath is enamelled steel but not cast iron.

Any suggestions gratefully received

Mike

I just pull mine up and either drape it over the mixer tap or sucker it to the tiles above the bath.

I do similar to Helen. We have a stainless steel container which fits over the bath, and holds nail brush, soap, etc, so I put the mat over it, rubber sucker side upwards. If it does start to get a bit grotty, I take it outside and scrub it. In over eight years we have only had two rubber bath mats.

I do the same as Helen, and when i clean the bath , just spray some bathroom cleaner on it and rince off along with the bath... Works a treat )t'

Ive also got a shower cubical, and liv uses a wooden garden slatt thingy in it to stop it from being slippy ( i cant stand it, it hurts my feet) , But that rarely gets clogged up as its raised from the base of the shower )t'

Thanks all. Seems laziness is the problem here!
