Rubber Bathtub Mats : C
Rubber bath mats equipped with suction cups can, if properly designed, enhance the traction in a wet tub. While they are not particularly attractive, the rubber does provide additional friction when soapy or wet.
The biggest problem with rubber suction cup mats for tubs is that soap scum and dirt build up underneath the mat. You can also see both mold and mildew build up on the bathtub mat.
There is no installation required with mats as they can be laid down in the bathtub or shower.
Depending upon thickness and quality of the rubber or fabric mat material you can expect the mat to last 1 to 2 years before they deteriorate.
