Bath mat

[sherrardk]

Bought a non-slip bath mat today (for some reason, it has been the highlight of the kids' day - they are easily pleased). It is round on the ends but at one end their is a circle cut out (about 5cm across and about 3cm from the top edge) - what's that all about (it's from Aldi so I suppose it could be some foreign thing). Any ideas anyone?

Maybe it's a shower mat and that is for the drain

Don't think so - it is longer than a usual bath mat, covers about 4/5 of the bath but the hole wouldn't fit over the plug hole.

maybe just a fancy design type thingy

Is it to hang it up?

You know Aldi its probably a job lot they bought from an East European country their baths & showers are different from ours.

I've had our bath taken out and a double shower put in instead it covers all the bath area, your mat would fit fine, I'd cut the bit with the hole off.

Yes likely to hang it up.

Just looks daft but the kids like the colour of it and it is bumpy (thing 1 complained that it hurt her bottom!).

I thought the same as jem, could it be for a wet room? Weird idea nontheless.

It said bath mat on the label - but I've chucked that out now. Will have to see if they have any left next time I go and see if it has any clues!

Sher, bite the bullet and either try Poundstretchers or Asda

Hi Alba, looked for one in the week but the colour of this one caught my eye. Didn't spot the stupid cut-out bit till I got it home.

Hi Sher x Come to think of it I could do with a new one. There's only so much scrubbing can do.

My current one is pink, which ticks off the three men in this house nicely :-)

The old one had ducks on it but they started coming off - the new one 'turns' the water blue. Most of the ones I have seen have got huge bumpy, something-therapy lumps on them. The kids like it so that's ok.
