The SlipX Solutions® extra long rubber bath safety mat is made of durable, high quality natural rubber that is less likely to fade, crack or tear than other rubber mats available, ensuring long-lasting durability. This rubber bathtub mat has ample thickness to provide both comfort underfoot and superior slip-resistance. This mat is machine washable! We recommend removing it after each shower and letting it hang dry. This will reduce the likelihood of bacteria and mold growth. Weekly washing is typical.
