FAQs
What material is the Bedeck of Belfast Bath Mat made from?
The bath mat is made from 100% high-quality cotton.
How absorbent is this bath mat?
It features a 580gsm (grams per square meter) feather touch construction, indicating high density and excellent absorbency.
Can I use bleach on this bath mat?
No, bleach should not be used as it can damage the cotton fibers and affect the color and absorbency of the mat.
What sizes are available?
The Bedeck of Belfast bath mat is available in 4 sizes: Hand, Bath Towel, Bath Sheet, and Bath Mat.
How often should I wash my bath mat?
This depends on usage. For busy bathrooms, washing weekly or bi-weekly is recommended. For lighter use, monthly washing may suffice. Always ensure it dries fully between uses to prevent mildew.
Is this bath mat suitable for a wet room?
While highly absorbent, it is best suited for traditional bathrooms where it can dry adequately between uses. In a wet room, ensure excellent ventilation and consider drying it completely after each use.
What is the benefit of the 'feather touch' description?
Feather touch refers to the soft, plush, and luxurious feel of the fabric, achieved through its high GSM and dense weave.
Troubleshooting
Mat is not drying effectively
Ensure the bathroom has adequate ventilation. Hang the mat to dry after washing or after each use if possible. Consider a lower GSM mat if drying time is a persistent issue.
Lint or debris clinging to the mat
Vacuum the mat regularly. Wash with similar colored items and avoid over-drying in the tumble dryer. Shake vigorously outdoors to dislodge loose particles.
Mat feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can stiffen cotton fibers over time. Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and consider adding a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle to help soften the fibers.
Color fading
Wash in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Use a color-safe detergent and wash with similar colors. Some fading is natural over time with cotton products.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply place the bath mat on a clean, dry bathroom floor. Ensure it lies flat to prevent tripping hazards.
Compatibility: Suitable for most bathroom flooring types, including tile, vinyl, and linoleum. It is not designed for use with underfloor heating.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable at 40°C. It is recommended to wash the mat separately or with similar colored items.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the cotton fibers and reduce absorbency.
- Maintenance: For optimal performance and longevity, shake the mat regularly to redistribute the fibers and air it out between washes. Vacuuming can help remove loose lint and dust.
