- 3:05–3:28 Air Dry Washed Mats/Towels
From how to clean and maintain carpet stair treads, Step 4: The Final Touch: Air Dry for Perfect Adhesion
After the wash cycle, remove the wet bath mats or towels from the washing machine. To prevent damage to any rubber backing and ensure thorough drying, air dry them. You can drape them over a laundry basket, hang them over the back of a chair, or use a drying rack. The key is to ensure air can circulate on both sides of the mat/towel. Avoid putting rubber-backed mats in the dryer, as the heat can cause the rubber to degrade, crack, or melt, shortening the lifespan of the mat.
