:confused: Does anyone know how to make it easier to remove dirt and grime from the bottom rubbery mat of the shower stall? We can get it off by scrubbing like crazy but if anyone knows an easier way like a spray or something please let me know. It's the kind of matt that has a rubber feel to it sort of like tire material but beige. Thanks in advance.

I would get a CLR type of cleaner used for breaking down mineral deposits and soap scum. Fill up your tub, make sure the product is safe for the tub. And use as directed with the hottest water possible. Take your matt flip it upside down and toss it in and let sit 10-15 mins...rinse with hottest water possible afterwards. Intial use may take a few treatments.

You can toss the mat into the washer along with some towels. Perhaps a new mat of a material and texture that would be easier to maintain would be a time-saving and less worrisome option.
