she had a dollar store broom that she kept in the bathroom for scrubbing the shower floor and would flip that little thing over and scrub that too... it was easier than getting on hands and knees!

sometimes those bath mats get too gross to clean. You might also try one of those soap scum and mildew-removing products for bathrooms.

If you see PINK, that is pink mold.

Kill it. I use Comet a/bleach.

If it won't come off, time to replace it.

They don't last forever, that's for sure!

I hear you about how hard work is on an old back. Giant ugh!

Take care CTyankee!

Depends on the size of the item and the dishwasher. It works best as a periodic cleaning rather than a “let it get gross and then try to clean it” remedy. Top rack is probably best but the water jets are stronger on the bottom.

Throw it away

It may work with just a soak, but if not, you won't have to scrub too hard with a brush.

To paraphrase Eli Manning, 'I use that shit everywhere.'

(Except glass and chrome. It is not made for either.)

First thing, detach or peel off the rubber mat with suction cups from the floor of the shower or bath.

Lay it flat facing suction cups up.
Then fill the tub up with enough warm to hot water to cover the mat.

Sprinkle in a cup of baking soda and a cup of vinegar, or a cup of Hydrogen Peroxide. Another
option is to use an amount of bleach (1 teaspoon – 1 Tablespoon of bleach per gallon).

Allow it to sit for 30 minutes. For the dirtiest items or those that have stubborn stains,
allow them to soak for 1-2 hours.

Scrub with a soft bristle brush. Scrub in circular patterns so the bristles get all around the suction cups.
For getting into the details an old toothbrush is a good idea.

For extra hard water stains, I employed a brillo pad and magic eraser in certain spots.
Rinse with water and allow it to air dry before reattaching it to the shower or tub floor.

I just pick it up after every use and rinse it off of all soap residue, then drape it over the edge of the tub (suction cups side up) to dry.

I'm serious. My back is not up to scrubbing on my extra-large bath mat.

You can soak it in a bucket of hot water with detergent and bleach and let it sit for a couple of hours. If it's still dirty, use a brush on it.

I was my bath mat in the washing machine and it comes out clean.

Happy Googling!

…and another gallon jug half filled with water that I use as a weight because the mats float.

Put bucket into shower stall — it will be heavy when full.

Fold mat(s) into bucket. Pour some bleach in — measure 1/2 to 3/4 cup if you want to, but I just pour a glug or two. Pour in sufficient water to cover, weight down, add some more water.

Walk away and do something else for a couple of hours or until it’s time for a shower. Empty the bucket into the shower drain.

Too easy for words.
