Always wash the bath mat before using it. Then dry it in the tumble dryer so it becomes wonderfully fluffy again, just like new. Its absorbency will be fully optimal after a few washes.

Shake the bath mat out well or beat it outside to remove dust, dirt and hair before putting it in the washing machine. Wash the bath mat at a temperature of 30-40°C. This is warm enough to remove dirt and bacteria without damaging the mat. Wash the bath mat separately or with towels to prevent it from being damaged by hard materials such as clothing with zips or buttons.

Wash the bath mat regularly with a mild detergent to remove dirt and keep the fibres supple. Use fabric softener sparingly or replace it with vinegar to maintain softness without reducing absorbency. Dry the mat at a low temperature in the tumble dryer or let it air dry to fluff up the fibres. Avoid high temperatures to prevent damage. Hang the bath mat outside now and then to air it and prevent mould. This way your bath mat stays soft and comfortable, even after frequent use.

GSM stands for grams per square metre and is a measure of the density of textiles such as towels and bath mats. A value of 1200 GSM means that one square metre of the material weighs 1200 grams.

The higher the GSM value, the denser and softer the fabric generally feels. Bath mats of 1200 GSM are usually luxurious and comfortable to stand on.

A higher GSM value often indicates better moisture absorption, meaning the mat can absorb more water after a shower or bath.

Bath mats with a higher GSM are often more durable and last longer, as they are more resistant to wear.

In general, a GSM of 1200 is considered a premium option, ideal for those looking for luxury and functionality in their bath mats.
