Choose the Right Material

The material of your shower mat plays a crucial role in preventing mold and mildew. Certain fabrics, especially cotton, can retain moisture, creating an ideal environment for these fungi. Opt for materials that resist moisture, including our wooden shower mats, that don’t have this issue.

Ensure Proper Drainage

Before placing your shower mat, ensure that the area around your shower is adequately drained. Position the mat so that water drains away from it rather than pooling underneath. This simple step can significantly reduce moisture accumulation, making it less likely for mold and mildew to take hold.

Wash Regularly

Regular cleaning is vital in preventing mold growth. Wash your shower mat frequently according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A hot wash can help eliminate any spores or bacteria that may have settled in. Allowing your mat to dry completely after cleaning is essential as well; hang it outside or in a well-ventilated area.

Consider Teak Wood Shower Mats

Teak wood shower mats are an excellent choice for moisture-prone areas and take the thought out of bathroom cleanliness. Teak naturally resists water and has antimicrobial properties that help inhibit mold and mildew growth. The slatted design allows air circulation and drainage, preventing water accumulation underneath. Plus, teak mats add a touch of elegance to your bathroom décor.
