How to choose the right bathroom rug? It depends on what we expect. Differences are not only in colors, patterns, or shapes, but also in the materials used. First, however, we must inform you that at Pepco you will find a wide range of bathroom rugs that will delight with their quality, aesthetics, and price!
First, let's pay attention to the material from which the rug is made. It will determine the appearance, durability, and ease of cleaning of the rug.
What to choose? If you want warm feet after getting out of the bathtub or shower, soft and pleasant, cotton bathroom rugs or terry rugs will work well. It's worth remembering that their pile should not be too long, as this means a longer drying time. A rug exposed to constant moisture is more difficult to keep clean and less hygienic. If you want to use a product in this area of the bathroom that resembles a miniature of traditional carpets, you should ensure it is dried very thoroughly. Some of these rugs can be washed in washing machines, which makes them easier to keep clean and ensures full hygiene, without the risk of fungal or mold growth.
This small drawback does not mean that bathroom rugs with longer pile, which are very soft and fluffy, cannot be present in our bathrooms. Pepco advises that when choosing them, find a place for them, for example, next to the sink or toilet bowl, where they are not so heavily exposed to moisture. In turn, right next to the bathtub or shower enclosure, you can place a bamboo mat or one made of microfiber. Their advantage is very good moisture absorption, quick drying, and ease of cleaning.
Textile rugs can be based on natural, synthetic, or artificial materials. They are very pleasant to the touch, but also extremely warm. They will therefore be an ideal solution if the bathroom does not have underfloor heating.
Or maybe a rubber rug? Models with special nubs perfectly massage the feet. Its undeniable advantage is its high adhesion to the floor and high water resistance. Depending on the chosen model, such products can even be used directly in the bathtub or shower enclosure.
