Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lake View House, a popular B&B in Ambleside, decided to refurbish their guest bathrooms. Their existing mats were looking tired and, most importantly, lacked a reliable non-slip feature, which was a growing concern for the owners.
"Guest safety is our top priority, but we also want every detail to feel premium. The Nova chocolate bathroom mat solved both issues at once. They look fantastic against our new tiling and our housekeepers have commented on how well they wash. A brilliant, simple upgrade."
Eleanor Vance – Owner, The Lake View House
The upgrade led to specific positive mentions of 'bathroom comfort and safety' in online guest reviews increasing by over 25% in the following season.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
First Use and Placement
- We recommend washing the mat before its first use to enhance its natural absorbency.
- Shake the mat out after washing and drying to fluff up the cotton pile.
- Always place it on a clean, dry floor to ensure the non-slip backing has maximum grip.
- Position it neatly alongside the bath or shower for easy access.
Keeping It in Top Condition
- Always wash with similar dark colours to maintain its rich chocolate shade.
- Crucially, do not use detergents containing bleach or Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs).
- Tumble dry on a medium heat setting to keep the fibres soft and fluffy.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the cotton fibres and reduce absorbency over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this bath mat suitable for a commercial laundry?
A: Absolutely. It has been designed specifically to be soft yet robust enough to handle frequent, heavy-duty washing cycles common in the hospitality industry.
Q: What is the material?
A: It is made from high-quality, absorbent cotton to provide a soft, comfortable, and luxurious feel for your guests.
Q: Will the chocolate brown colour fade?
A: The mat is designed to be colourfast. To preserve its rich shade, we recommend washing with similar colours and strictly avoiding bleach or detergents with OBAs.
Q: How effective is the non-slip feature on tiled floors?
A: The integrated anti-slip backing is designed to provide excellent grip on typical hard bathroom flooring like tiles and vinyl, as long as the floor beneath is dry.
Q: What are the exact dimensions of the mat?
A: The Mitre Essentials GW353 bath mat measures 500mm in width by 800mm in length (50 x 80cm), a standard size ideal for placing next to a bath or shower.
Q: Are there matching towels available in the same colour?
A: Yes, the Nova range includes matching facecloths and towels, allowing you to create a fully coordinated and professional look in your bathrooms.
Q: What is the 'Grecian key' design?
A: It refers to the classic, interlocking border pattern woven into the fabric of the mat. It’s a timeless design that adds a subtle touch of elegance.
Q: Can I use fabric softener with this mat?
A: It is generally best to avoid fabric softener, as it can leave a residue on the cotton fibres which can reduce their natural absorbency over time.
