The surface is a soft diatom-mud fabric that pulls water in on contact, backed by a foam layer that holds it and releases it quickly, over a rubber base that keeps the whole thing still. It is the piece most bathrooms are missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e50 x 55 cm (19.7 x 21.7 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eU-shaped contour, cut to fit around a toilet base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eBlack and cream with a patterned border\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003ePrinted basketweave stripe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eSurface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eDiatom-mud fabric — a soft textile, not a rigid stone mat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eFoam absorbent layer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eRubber, non-slip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eDrying\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eAbsorbs on contact, evaporates quickly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the three layers work together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe top layer is a diatom-mud fabric — soft and flexible, not one of the hard stone slabs sold under the same name. It takes water off your feet the moment you step on, rather than letting it sit on the surface. Underneath, an open foam layer pulls that water away from the top and spreads it out so it evaporates fast, which is why the mat is dry again by the time you next walk in. The rubber base does the unglamorous part: it stops all of that sliding across a tiled floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasure before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContour mats live or die on fit. Measure the width of your toilet pan at floor level and the depth from the wall to the front of the base. At 50 x 55 cm this one suits a standard close-coupled pan; push the U in until it meets the base and smooth the arms flat. Fitted properly it looks tailored — and it also means the area where splashes actually land is covered, which is the whole point of the shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wash it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWash it cool and air dry it flat. Heat is what hardens a rubber base and damages a foam core, so keep it out of the tumble dryer and off a hot radiator. Between washes, a shake and a wipe is usually enough given how quickly the surface dries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the pattern printed or woven?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrinted. That is why the linework is so crisp — a woven or tufted version of this basketweave would lose all its definition. Wash it inside out and skip the bleach to keep the black sharp against the cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse more in this colour in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/black-bath-mats\"\u003eblack bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e, or see the rest of this size in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/small-bath-mats\"\u003esmall bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Bath mat","offers":[{"title":"FGZN-11 \/ 50x55cm","offer_id":55198069129559,"sku":"14:2544#FGZN-11;183:200007736#50x55cm","price":10.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/3733\/3847\/files\/Sb2c9d3c400284580a7fce189bfb3ceefC.webp?v=1790699149","url":"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/products\/black-and-white-toilet-mat","provider":"Bath mat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
