I honestly cannot say for sure since I use my mat in my office setting and it is on top of carpet. I have used other mats on my kitchen floor; however, where the floor was washed and it did not seem to affect the mat in any way. I really don't think it will affect this mat either since it is a sturdy rubber back. Hope this helps.

This will not hurt the mat. I come to work in the morning with snow filled shoes and stand on it for the first couple of hours. As long as you aren't swimming with it you should be fine. I set mine up along the wall to air out between work shifts and so far no smell and no damage.

When I wash my floor, I pick up the mats. I do not put them back down until the floor is throughly dry. I wipe off the mats separately.

It shouldn't, unless you're putting cleaning products directly on the mat, then it will. Just wait for the cleaning products to dry and/or evaporate before putting the mat back on the floor and you're fine.

Hi Julianne. Please contact me directly through the Amazon message system. Are you folding the mat to store it? Please store the mat rolled up, not folded. Folding the mat will cause crease damage.Please contact me:)Thanks,Square36 Team

You can wash the mat in the machine on cold and hang to dry. I can't remember the recommended setting, so I always wash it on "delicate" to be safe. All other items are "surface clean only".

Seriously? I'm not sure what would cause a person to ask this question. What damage could it possibly do? It's well made with sturdy material that holds your silverware. Mine is in my handmade cabinets. Hasn't damaged a thing. Put an anti slip mat under it if your so concerned.

You worry too much about a simple sink mat. I have mine for over a year and is has worked very well. Does not smell, makes marks on the sink or tears. But it without care and worry about more important accessories.

Hello, we Have hardwood floor and found it to be just fine in protecting our son from some of his falls. He has taken some pretty bad spills on this mat and has basically dusted himself off and kept going. Our son has used this since he was about 7 months old and is now 13months old. Now that he walks it's obviously harder to keep him on the mat but that's not really the mats fault! :) hope that helps.

I just throw it in the washer with bleach and detergent, and it turns out fine. - I haven't actually had a problem with mold, but washing the mat is part of my routine - maybe yearly, ie - not "needed" often.

Yes. You can take the mat part off and wash it - in fact I recently washed ours because my daughter spit up on it quite a few times.

I don' know twhy the reader is asking again, when the answer to the question has been provided, that the treadmill will damage flooring. The mat is cheap in comparison to having new flooring installed.

I am sorry I cannot help you as my mat is on carpet. If you find out the answer let me know as we are about to replace the area's carpet with wood flooring.

Yes I washed the mat with normal baby laundry and it was just fine. I hung it to dry and it dried pretty quickly.

Good mat, but we had mildew issues with it. Put it in the washer to clean it & it ripped down the center

I have mine in my garage so I honestly could not be sure about it sliding on the carpet. But having said that, I would be concerned about the fine black "dirt" that comes off the mat. I am still trying to figure out what that is, and surely would not want that on my carpet. The makers of this mat are probably not happy about my "dirt" comments but I would love it if they could tell how to make this go away.

Definitely! I use just a little bit of water to wet the towel on my mat before I start my practice. If not you tend to slide just a bit until you start to sweat. Also, don't wash the towel with fabric softener. I seriously love this towel and will be buying another one soon.

I find the mat to be easy to care for. Most days I just sweep it off when I am sweeping the kitchen floor. If something would happen to get spilled on it, I just wipe it off with a damp rag. I would never consider laundering it. It is so easy to care for it with a damp rag.

I have this mat for 2 years and I do not have any problem, it constantly in my kids bedroom and they use it once they are exercising on a monkey gym

The small mat says "dishwasher safe" in the top rack. I would think the large one is the same, but I have not tried it.
