Is there a reason why this mat is not sticking to our tub? Is there some sort of trick to get it to stick? Thank you.

My mat has about 200 suction cups. It sticks so well that I haven't had it slip at all. I cannot imagine why it would not stick to someone's tub. Possibly the tub needs scouring with a good product like Ajax with bleach.

It only sticks to certain type of tubs depending on the material. I think it sticks to the older models as the newer ones are made out of some kind of acrylic.

Hi! This is Kristina from SlipX Solutions. Our suction cup bathtub mats are designed to adhere to smooth surfaces. If your bathtub or shower is textured, tiled, or not completely smooth, than there is a chance some of the cups will not stick to the surface. Please contact SlipX Solutions if you have any questions. Thank you for your question.

You may need to run some water first. Suction cups won't work very well on a dry tub.

I think it might be too big for your tub. If you don't need a back, try looking at the round seat that rotates. Good luck!

I had stainless also and the thing wouldn't stick at all, maybe if you had a larger bowl? That might help. Or a larger bowl that was ceramic?Basically I think the thing is worthless, maybe if you stuck it on with super glue--Nah, buy something else that makes more sense.

Mine has never gotten "yucky". Weekly, I spray by tub with the "blue then white" cleaner and let the hot water rinse go through the mat. Then, I hang the mat on the inside shower door until it dries. That is the only time I remove the mat from the bottom of the tub. I have had mine for months and it is still like new!

I does not seem to damage the tub....they wear off fairly quickly but I prefer them toa bath mat....a lot easier to keep clean

I've had that happen too. What I've done with my mats (which are not "the mat") is just smear a very thin layer of shortening to the mat. I make my own fondant and this has always worked. Don't know why it wouldn't work for The Mat too.

I had the same problem. Bigger issues were that the base doesn't roll all that easily.. Almost better off bolting a bench to the tub.. Not great for the tub.. But way safer..

Our tub is not rough so I can't comment, but it stays "glued" in place in our tub. I clean it with Soft scrub and a brush

The mat is a little tacky, and rubbery feeling but works well. Is it more sticky then when it was brand new? If yes, then it isn't all the way clean. There is still oil stuck to the mat. If no, then this is the normal tacky feel of the mat. It can be difficult to get stuck grease off of the mat. I usually have this problem if it is allowed to soak or comes in contact with water for an extended period before cleaning. For some reason this makes the oil stick to the surface. I agree with Melissa. Hot Hot water and a good soap like dawn to clean. Although, I've had to step it up a notch before and use a heavy duty cleaner like 409.

It isn't a soft plastic and not really the best for kids in the tub. It only fits half of the bottom of the tub. My kids slip since it is only in a small area of the tub. I would go back to the bath mats that have the cartoon characters on them. Those are the best that I have used so far! But to answer your question, yes it does stick but it is a slippery mat.

I have not had this problem. Try cleaning the surface of both the tub and the suction cups with a mild solution of Oxyclean. Best of luck.

not sure but it sticks to my non-textured tub just fine - I would assume if you've tried other suction bath mats and they stuck, then you would be okay with this one.

Hi,I scrubbed mine with comet cleanser and then I went to bed bath and beyond and got the SQUARE stick on, they work great, the stips did not work but the squares did. Just make sure that the tub is rinsed clean of all chemicals and dry it with the hair dryer. They will work great.Hope this helps. My tub was so slippery, i fell last year.Kathy

ummm, The mat doesn't really prevent dough from sticking to it, you still have to use flour. I made a very sticky cookie dough recipe which stuck, so I just used more flour. I just really like the mat because I don't have to weigh down the corners, it sticks to the counter.

Ours does the same thing. It appears to be stuck but there's nothing to be stuck on. It seems to be doing the job of keeping the pool bottom fairly clean however.

It shouldn't be sticking... I would call the manufacturer. They should be able to tell you how to fix it or send you a replacement part!

Sorry, I don't have that problem. I have a shower stall without a tub tho... Maybe that's the difference? Maybe try a safety pin in the corners to hold the fabric and plastic together??? Idk I could definitely see how that would be frustrating and magnets in the corners would be an improvement. Good luck!
