The ‘Go Green’ revolution can be hit and reflected in every nook and corner of your house, if you have the willingness and zeal and adapt to the usage of eco-friendly articles. This includes bath mats for your bathroom, which can further contribute to your efforts in saving our environment as well as the planet we live in.

Bath mats work like wonders in soaking excess water in the bathroom area, but generally they are made using synthetic materials which lead to multiplication of molds and bacteria on them. The accumulation of mildew can be harmful for people who are prone to allergies, leading to frequent replacement of the bath mat. However, a wide range of environmental-friendly bath mats are available in the market nowadays, which are equally effective and also expose our ecosystem to minimal amount of dangers and hazards.

Various kinds of materials used for eco-friendly bath matfor your bathroom:

1. Teak wood- A wooden bath mat gives a spa-feel and looks to your bathroom and is surprisingly very comfortable to use, especially after a shower or bath. Teakwood being a tropical hardwood is generally used in manufacturing bath mats due to its viability of being most pliable and durable and also because of its deep amber color. It provides firmness and flexibility to it, making it dry very fast. In a nutshell, a wooden teakwood bath mat is a perfect choice to compliment a contemporary bathroom as it proves to be a better option over its nylon counterparts.

2. Organic cotton- Organic cotton is made from non-genetically modified plants without using harsh pesticides, and is therefore considered to be kind on nature. These are being widely used in different colors and designs, instead of the regular cotton yarn, to make bath mats. Bamboo cotton, another sustainable bath mat, are also very much in demand as they come in multiple colors and can be easily co-coordinated with the existing bath décor and color scheme.

3. Cork- Cork is anti-fungal by nature, very light in weight, dries quickly, non slippery and have hypoallergenic properties. They are naturally pliable and relieve fatigue and stress when used for long hours at a stretch, have utilitarian appearance and are even low on maintenance. They fit into any décor standards and can be easily moved from one spot to the other. Being eco-friendly, they are now being universally accepted and used for both public and private bathroom areas.

Eco-friendly bath mats have one negative point, that is, they might prove to be a little heavy on your pocket.
