To use shower pads (also often called bath mats), you need to ensure they are securely attached to the shower or bathtub floor before stepping onto them, and clean the surface regularly.
Here's a breakdown of how to use shower pads effectively:
-
Prepare the Surface: Periodically clean the bathtub or shower floor surface. This is crucial for proper suction. Remove any soap scum or debris to ensure the suction cups adhere correctly.
-
Position the Mat: Place the bath mat in the desired location within the shower or tub.
-
Secure the Suction Cups: Press down firmly on the bath mat to engage all the suction cups.
-
Test the Security: Before each use, push and pull the bath mat with your hands to ensure it is securely attached to the surface. This verifies that the suction cups are properly engaged.
-
Step onto the Mat: Once you've confirmed the mat is secure, carefully step onto it.
Important Considerations:
- Material: Shower pads are often made of materials like rubber, PVC, or textured plastic.
- Maintenance: Regularly clean the bath mat itself to prevent mildew and bacterial growth. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
By following these steps, you can ensure your shower pad provides a safe and slip-resistant surface in your shower or tub.
