The Mitre Essentials Nova mat hits that sweet spot between cost-effectiveness and guest experience.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Royal Mile Suites, a boutique aparthotel in Edinburgh, was looking to upgrade its in-room amenities to improve guest satisfaction scores, which had noted the existing linens felt tired. They chose to standardise with the Mitre Essentials Nova Collection in charcoal grey, including the GW388 bath mats.
"The difference was immediate. The mats look sharp, feel plush, and our housekeeping team noted they dry much faster. Guests have commented on the quality, which is exactly what we wanted. They provide that little bit of everyday luxury that gets you great reviews."
Robert McGregor – General Manager
Following the refresh, the aparthotel saw a 10% increase in positive guest reviews mentioning in-room comfort and amenities within three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash before first use to maximise absorbency and remove any loose manufacturing fibres.
- If using a colour-coded system, ensure staff are briefed on which colour is for which area.
- Place flat on a dry floor outside the bath or shower.
- Ensure the Grecian key border is straight to maintain a tidy, professional appearance.
Keeping It Going
- Wash at high temperatures with similar colours to maintain hygiene standards.
- Crucially, do not use bleach or detergents containing Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs) as they can damage the fibres and cause colour to fade.
- Tumble dry on a medium setting to restore fluffiness. Avoid over-drying.
- Check regularly for any snags or loose threads and trim them to prevent further unravelling.

Explore more from Mitre EssentialsWhy Hospitality Grade Cotton Makes a Difference
Ever wondered what separates a 'hospitality cotton bath mat' from the one you have at home? It's all in the weave and the fibre length. Think of it like the engine of a car. A standard car is fine for popping to the shops, but a Formula 1 engine is built for extreme performance and endurance. Hospitality grade cotton is the F1 engine of the linen world. The fibres are woven more tightly and are often longer, which means they can absorb more water, more quickly, and—crucially—release it faster during the drying cycle. This construction also gives it the strength to endure the high temperatures and powerful detergents of commercial laundries without fraying or losing its shape. So, you're not just buying a mat; you're investing in faster laundry turnaround, longer product life, and a safer, drier floor for every single guest.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotels & Guesthouses: Provide a safe, comfortable, and stylish bathroom essential that elevates the standard guest room experience.
- Spas & Wellness Centres: Use in changing rooms and treatment areas to ensure quick water absorption and a cohesive, professional look.
- Leisure Clubs & Gyms: Offer a durable, quick-drying mat in high-traffic shower areas that can withstand constant use and laundering.
- B&Bs and Holiday Lets: A simple way to add a touch of hotel luxury and practicality for your paying guests.
