 Bath Mat

This bathroom accessory is used in bathroom because it soaks up water but also keeps us from slipping and smashing our heads through the toilet. Also, it acts as a temperature buffer for our toes between the hot shower and the ice-cold floor. Although many people want a soft bath mat to step on when they exit the shower, many mats wear down after being repeatedly stepped on by wet feet. Therefore, the best option is to find one that is plush and durable at the same time, or to place a towel down on the mat while using the shower to absorb some of the moisture and this will give the mat a longer life.
