Purple is surprisingly hard to find in a bathroom mat that is not either washed-out lilac or straying into burgundy, and this is a clean, saturated mid-purple. Soft polyester surface, dotted non-slip backing, machine washable.\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\u003eSizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e50 x 80 cm and 60 x 90 cm (19.7 x 31.5 in and 23.6 x 35.4 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003ePolyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eViolet purple\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\u003eSoft plush pile, absorbent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eEdges\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eBound in matching colour, rounded corners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eBacking\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eDotted anti-slip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth\u003eWashing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eMachine washable on a gentle cycle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy plain is the harder thing to get right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA pattern hides a lot — uneven pile, a thin surface, a colour that is not quite what the photo promised. A single flat colour hides nothing, so the pile has to be dense and even across the whole mat, and the dye has to be consistent edge to edge. The bound border in the same violet is part of that: a contrasting binding is cheaper to produce and always looks like an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing between the two sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e50 x 80 cm is the standard UK bath mat size and the right choice for most bathrooms — enough to step out onto with both feet without covering a small floor. 60 x 90 cm is the large option, worth having if you have the space in front of a bath or a walk-in shower and want somewhere to stand properly while you dry off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I stop the purple fading?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWash cool on a gentle cycle, on its own the first couple of times, and no bleach. Air dry flat rather than tumble drying — heat is what dulls a saturated colour and damages the dotted backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the pile go flat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNot if you shake it out after each wash and rotate it end to end every few weeks so the wear spreads.
