Do you remove this mat between baths? And if so, have the suction cups started to detach?

We do not remove it daily, only for cleaning, but the cups appear to be holding out well.

I don't remove it between baths. The suction cups are intact. However, some dirt builds up under the mat. I rinse it and use a tub cleaner on the tub.

Yes, I do, my mat is new, used only a few times so the suction cups are fine for now. Please, remember, you do not want to sit on this mat as it is the most uncomfortable I have ever used. I cut one end off to ensure safety getting in and out of my early 1900's claw foot tub.

I remove the mat between baths, water would stay under the mat and get gross between baths otherwise. I have been using it a few months and no issue with cup detachment

I do remove the mat and hang it up between baths to let it dry. I have not noticed any suction cups becoming detached.....and I am not gentle when I remove it from the tub.

No. It's like a lightweight rubber mat. Easy to clean with a towel or a quick rinse in the bathtub. I like it very much for comfort but the edges are wearing out faster than expected.

There's a place for the suction cup to stick to. I love the pad. Every once in a while you need to rinse the bottom off with warm water. I've done 3times in a year.

I think it has to be a smooth surface. But we use ours on a bath mat and don't worry about the suction cups.

Yes it does come off. I gave it as a gift to my 1-year old niece, and she loves it. She kept the outfit on so far, but it is supposed to be able to go in the bathtub and washing machine.

No, I don't think the suction cups are removable since they're attached with bolts.

I believe you can certainly remove the suction cup. That was also my thought when I first saw it. Then I decided to leave it as I could always remove it later. It really is very nice to keep the container firmly planted where you set it and I think you will be glad to have it. Its design of "leaning forward" I think might cause it to tip over without the suction, but again, try it your way to see what happens.

I have 2 and I've never had the suction cup detaching. Well! once when I was moving it. It was a little stuck but all I did was stuck back on and no other problems.

No the mat is flexible. If there is a lot of mess on it, I normally turn up the sides and carry it like a taco to the trash and then rinse or wipe it off outside or in the bathtub.

The suction cups have came loose a few times when I took the feeder off of the hooks for cleaning. I have never had a problem putting them back up, but I can see how it could be problematic down the road.

To be honest, you're better off buying a shower mat with the multiple suction cups that hold it in place. My wife and I use one when we travel and use several hotels. The Tub Tattoos don't stay on very long. Hope this helps and thanks for serving!Mark

I apologize but we have not had to remove mold and mildew from the suction cups and we do not put the grip in the dishwasher.There is a locking tab behind the suction cups in the hard plastic section. It's grayish color in the item picture. When released, there is a little space behind the suction cup where you can clean with a bleach solution or other cleaning agent.

The mat is removable but you have to turn the unit upside down and remove the outer ring that holds it in place. We wash ours every couple weeks. We vacuum daily and keep a layer of towels that we can change as needed.

wish I could tell U. You are not alone with such problem. Use mine in SPA with 10 jets .....seemed "moisture" under the suction cups was problematic; sure is comfy when it stays in place : -)

Well the ones that have lifted come right off. The ones that are still affixed I haven't tried to remove. I followed the directions to the T to ensure they would last but not so lucky. I'm contemplating removing them and going back to a regular mat.

Yes. However constant removal would probably shorten the lifespan of the suction cup a bit.

YES! We recently got a water softener - having a textured bathtub, I didn't think anything of it until my 2 year old was taking a bath and jumped while in the tub, slipping immediately (luckily I was there and caught him). I realized that we needed to get a non-slip mat that wouldn't move and the suction cup ones just didn't suction. We made the purchase and concerned with the textured tub - contacted the seller to find out and were reassured that the back was designed for it. Not only can my son jump in the tub without slipping now, due to backing the mat doesn't move AT ALL. Well worth the cost! YES!
