Before stepping into the tub/shower, I always test the bath mat with my foot before stepping in. Every few weeks, it will become slippery due to mold developing under it & preventing the suction cups from working.
I noticed it was slippery last night. To make it safe again, I take it outside & scrub the underside with bleach & rinse with hot water until it feels squeaky.
Then I do the same with the tub. The mat sticks like glue again.
And when the rubber starts to crack, replace it. $20.00 is much cheaper than a fall - especially at our age.
