This is a great full length bath mat that definitely keeps my 1-year old son from slipping and sliding all over the tub! The only thing is that there are so many suction cups on the bottom (which is a good thing), but they don’t all stay put. MOST of them do, but the part by the bath drain doesn’t stay suctioned to the tub. This hasn’t been a problem for us, and I may just not have inserted it properly. But even with that, I would DEFINITELY recommend this product.

I don’t just find this thing annoying to clean, it’s a major pain. After only a couple of uses, it will mildew so you definitely HAVE to hang it up after each and every use. I can throw it in the washer (on hot) with okay results, but since it’s see-through, I spend a lot of time cleaning it so I can’t see the mildew which drives me nuts (we have a white tub so it really shows up). Also, at least in our tub, it doesn’t stick that well. It definitely bunches up and since I remove it after each use, I am constantly trying to get it to stick, to no avail…In my opinion, this is a major drawback, hence the 2 stars.

You never know how good a bath mat will be or how long it will last. They always seem to get dirty so fast and stay that way, no matter what you do to prevent it or to clean them. I guess we’ve had our Ultimate mat about two months, and so far it has stayed pretty clean. Usually, when that unidentifiable gunk starts to build up in and around the suction cups or in the crevices of whatever texture the mat has, it takes hard scrubbing with some sort of cleaner or bleach to get it out. Eventually, no amount of scrubbing gets it all out, and you have to just throw out the mat (what a waste and a burden on the environment). With this mat, so far (I have to keep adding that phrase because it may not last), a light rubbing with an old soft toothbrush and some water gets it clean. It doesn’t have a lot of texture where dirt can get caught, it’s comfortable to stand on, and it’s not slippery when wet. It’s lightweight and easy to pull up to drip-dry. If this keeps up, this may truly be the ultimate mat.
Addendum: It’s been about 6 months, and although this mat has some great qualities, it would not stay clean. There is enough of a texture on the surface so that it does get dirty and eventually becomes impossible to clean. The most problematic areas are the suction cups. Dirt and shampoo residue seem to collect quickly around them. The residue does come off fairly easily with a toothbrush, but there are so many suction cups, it becomes quite tedious to clean them all. This mat actually doesn’t even need the suction cups to stay in place. It stays put very well even when folded in half with the suction cups to the inside. We’re long overdue for a new mat. If anyone can suggest a better one, with fewer suction cups, please comment.

I like this mat because it covers the length of the bathtub. The texture keeps my son from sliding when he’s taking a bath. It’s better than those little appliques that we applied to the bottom of the tub when I was a kid!
