The Songziming 16x35 inch mat features a pebble-inspired design that provides a distinct tactile experience for the feet. Made from flexible, phthalate-free PVC, the mat is sized to fit most standard alcove tubs. The black pigment used in this version is helpful for households that want to minimize the visibility of water spots or minor mineral buildup over time.
While the design is visually appealing, the spaces between the pebbles can trap soap residue and skin cells. To maintain a clean environment and ensure the suction cups continue to function, the mat requires weekly machine washing. Specifications indicate a Shore A Hardness rating that makes the mat feel firmer in cold water, so it is best to run warm water over it before stepping in to ensure it is pliable and well-seated.
Always hang the mat to dry after use; leaving it flat on the tub floor allows moisture to sit in the gaps, which can lead to a slippery biofilm.
If you find that the pebble gaps are too difficult to keep clean, a smoother mat like the Gorilla Grip shower mat might be a more practical alternative for your routine. Note that this mat is strictly for smooth enamel surfaces and will not work on textured floors.
