Solidstep shower mat
Will it actually stay put?
Yes, on the right surface. Hundreds of suction cups press flat against the tub floor, and once they seal, the mat does not shift underfoot. Two things make the hold strongest: press it down on a clean floor, and wet the base first. If a corner ever lifts, one press seals it again.
My tub has a textured bottom. Will it work?
Honest answer: no. Suction needs a smooth, glossy surface to seal, and no suction mat holds on heavy texture or tile with grout lines, whatever the listing says. Run your hand across your tub floor: if it feels smooth, you are good. If you feel raised dots or rough texture, this mat is not the right tool, and we would rather tell you before you buy.
I have bought mats that slid before. How is this different?
Most mats fail for one of two reasons: too few suction cups, or cups too small to seal. This mat covers the full underside with hundreds of them, so the grip is spread across every step instead of a few points. And you do not have to take our word for it: try it for 90 days, and if it does not hold on your tub, we make it right.
Will it get moldy like my last one?
That is the failure everyone has lived. Two things fight it here: open drain holes stop water from sitting trapped under the mat, and the TPE itself is antibacterial, so mold does not get the foothold it gets on cheap rubber. Hang it up after showers now and then, and machine wash it cold when it is due.
Is it soft to stand on?
Yes. The surface is cushioned TPE, gentle on bare feet, without the hard plastic bumps some mats have. You get the grip without standing on gravel.
I am buying this for my parent. What should I check?
Two things. First, their tub floor: it must be smooth for the suction to seal (see the textured-bottom question above). Second, the size: Medium for a standard tub, Large for long tubs and walk-in showers. After that, the mat asks nothing of them: no tools, no installation, nothing to learn. Press it down once and it is part of the bathroom.
Does it help during recovery from surgery?
Many customers set up the bathroom before a scheduled knee or hip surgery, or right after a scare. What the mat gives them is steady footing on a wet floor at the moment balance is hardest. It arrives in days, presses into place in a minute, and needs no tools.
Which size should I pick?
Measure the flat part of your tub or shower base, then pick the size that fits inside it: Small (27.5 x 15 in) for compact tubs, Medium (29.5 x 17 in) for standard tubs, Large (35.5 x 23.5 in) for walk-in showers and long tubs, Square (21 x 21 in) for square shower stalls. The mat should lie flat, not ride up the curved edges. Not sure? Medium fits most standard US tubs.
Does it work in a walk-in shower?
Yes, when the floor is smooth. Most walk-in showers have exactly the glossy base the suction holds best on. If yours is tiled with grout lines, see the textured-bottom question above: the cups cannot seal there. Pick the Large for coverage, and place it so the drain stays clear: water keeps running through the mat's holes on its way there.
Can kids use it?
Yes. The same grip that steadies an unsteady adult keeps a standing toddler from skating around the tub. Parents tell us bath time got calmer the first night.
How do I clean it?
Rinse it under the shower head, hang it over the rod to dry, and machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle when it is due. Air dry, skip bleach and high heat, and it comes back looking new.
Ordering
What payment methods can I use?
Checkout runs on Shopify's encrypted checkout, and every payment method available for your address is shown right there before you pay. We never see or store your card details.
Where is my order confirmation?
A confirmation email goes out as soon as your order is placed. If it is not in your inbox within a few minutes, check your spam folder. Still nothing? Email us at support@winalee.com and we will resend it.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, any time before it ships. Email support@winalee.com as soon as possible with your order number and what you would like to change. Once the order has shipped we can no longer modify it, but our 90-day guarantee has you covered either way.

Email support@winalee.com right away with your order number and the correct address. We can update the address any time before the order has shipped.

Shipping
Where do you ship?
We currently ship to addresses within the United States.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are processed within 1 to 2 business days. Once your order ships, tracked delivery typically takes 5 to 7 business days.
How do I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, we email you a tracking number and a link. You can also enter your order details on our Track Your Order page any time.
Tracking says delivered, but there is no package.
It happens, and it usually resolves within a day. First, check the shipping address on your confirmation email. Then look around your door, mailbox and building entrance, and ask your household or neighbors. Carriers sometimes mark packages as delivered a day early, so give it one business day. Still nothing? Email support@winalee.com and we will work with the carrier and make it right.
My order arrived damaged.
Email a photo to support@winalee.com. We will send a free replacement or issue a full refund, your choice, and you will not pay any return shipping.

Orders with more than one cover can ship in separate packages. If yours does, you will get a tracking number for each package.
