Bathmats need to be cleaned as the way they are positioned on the floor makes it near impossible for them to dry off or circulate air effectively.
As a result, a bathmat can become a breeding ground for bacteria in the form of mildew and mould. Therefore, it is recommended that bathmats are cleaned at least once a week, or more regularly depending how many people use them after stepping out of the home bathtub or shower enclosure.
