Cleaning the bathroom is a common chore, but bathroom items may not be at the top of many people's priorities. However, according to one expert, items such as bath mats can harbour lots of bacteria.
Bath mats are designed to absorb a lot of water, but it’s important to wash them regularly to maintain appropriate hygiene standards.
Ideally, your bath mat should be washed weekly - most mats can be washed by professional cleaning services, or in your washing machine.
Make sure to double check their label’s washing requirements before doing so.
For bath mats with rubber backings, try to avoid the washing machine. To prevent bacteria build-up without damaging the rubber, it’s best to spray them with white vinegar weekly, and to wash them in cold water every three to four weeks.
