Slipper-Embedded Bath Mats (UPDATE)

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Mat Walk Bathroom Mat by Paolo Ulian Makes Cleaning Easy

— April 19, 2013 — Lifestyle
Bath mats are a basic, but essential piece of bathroom equipment and the Mat Walk Bathroom Mat by Paolo Ulian takes things in a more efficient direction by incorporating slippers into the mat to make cleaning a little bit easier. The mat looks like any other, but features clever pockets on top for slipping your feet into and allowing you to walk relatively freely without a fear of slipping.

What's more -- and best -- about the Mat Walk Bathroom Mat by Paolo Ulian is that it makes cleaning a dirty bathroom floor a breeze; as you walk across the floor, simply wipe around and toss the mat into the washing machine after use to eliminate floor washing.

Cozy and efficient, the Mat Walk Bathroom Mat by Paolo Ulian is ready to keep your feet warm and dry while you wipe away dirt and grime.
