Moss Bathmat: an Honest Review 

Update: I have done a lot of experimenting, using some of his tips and just general info I learned through trial and error. If you're going to make a moss mat, use pin cushion moss. It's the best and sheds the least! Additionally you can decorate the edges of the mat with rocks or other pretty things. Important thing to know, is that your moss should generally be moist. So even if you step on it, it's not going to dry your feet off to then step on your tiles. You will still walk off with moist feet. I have made mine twice as big as his (half is by the bathroom sink and the other half is by the shower with a stone pathway separating the two). The one by the sink has gotten suuuper flat from being stepped on for longer periods of time. And needs watering 1-3x's a week. The one by the shower is still fluffy and only needs to be watered once every other week. The moss mat gets damaged if you scrape it with your toes, drag your feet and or kick it. You need to be gentle and conscious about your steps on the mat. We walk on the sink half sometimes with shoes and it's fine still. But my roommate keeps kicking pieces off, but you can easily put them back if you're not reckless. Thank you so much for posting this video, you made it possible for me to have this nature in my home! And I'm in love with our moss mat, it's extremely beautiful and heightens the zen in our bathroom!

If you had someone house sitting for you. "Don't forget to water the bathmat weekly or it will die. Have fun, see you in two weeks."

Thank you for the update, I love how specific you are in your explanation!

This is an amazing project,thank you for this video . I live with my brother, sister, dad, and mom and we all share a bathrrom. I cant wait to make this!!!

I just made one! Your videos were super helpful! I used thick weathered cardboard as a substrate and put it on a plastic winter shoe rack base. Used all kinds of moss I could find nearby. I wasn't patient enough to soak off all the debris (I kept rinsing and soaking ad nauseum) so I'm going to spend the next two weeks taking it our with tweezers before I use this thing. I plan to baby it on the counter for about two weeks. Already found a worm and took it out... Hopefully I don't get attacked tonight! But so far, so good!!

Thank you very much for an honest review! I'm gonna go and get me one!

Thanks for your videos! Just ordered materials. I've been wanting to try this for a long time, and your videos were super helpful. :)

I would love to try this. I wonder if using it for an outdoor shower area would cause it to get the bugs that you mentioned that you don’t want.

This was the most helpful thing I've found about moss bath mats, Thanks! I am curious, now that you are regularly watering the mat, 1) do you have gnats, 2) do pieces of moss still stick to you feet? Thanks!

I love your project and how you presented it, I wish all of RU-vid would be like that. I was actually looking for ideas on a living moss wall picture when I stumbled upon your project. Do you think the moss sticks well enough to the coco fibre to be hung vertically?

Gonna try a bit of moss underlay as a substrate

Thanks!

This was a good video. I loved the honest review. My only question is instead of using the coco board could one use dirt instead?

Did you make? Also if you step on other parts of it out of shower? Did you make or buy?

If I grow moss from the ground up will it be more likely to grow to have its rhizoids latch?

Throw water on it?

I love sort of off the beaten path and wanted to have an outdoor shower. This is amazing. It is cold here though so maybe the moss wouldn't thrive well?

This little ru-vid.comUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.

“Aim my drips”😂😂🤣🤣

Hi, can I ask if your bathmat is exposed to sunlight in the bathroom? My bathroom doesn't have windows and I'm not sure it will survive without sunlight.

How much light does this get/need?

hi, i have a bathroom with very poor natural light as it has no windows, would this be detrimental to the moss if i tried this?

Do you have a window in your bathroom? Does the mat need natural light? Our bathoom has no window - would it survive just with artificial light you think?

Curious about how soap and shampoo affects the moss

Hi! Can I ask how and where should I search silicone tray If I wanna do too? Thank you in advance :) nice video!!

Is it safe for pets?

Does it smell??

It's been a year now. Do you still use this? xD

doesn't it stick to your feet?

Don't think a water bottle, to mist dry areas, would be very high maintenance. Maybe other types of moss would be more suitable for making a mat like this.

I just use a rubber mats.

This might make more sense as a shower liner, no? Then it’ll get tons of water

Pfff... I have moss on the walls not only in bathroom

Just spray water on a daily basis 😁

Well I always suspect moss was alive

Way to ruin my dream

Here's an idea, dry off while standing in the shower, then you won't need any mat.... Try looking at your moss mat under a microscope. It's full of critters! Maybe even a crotch cricket 🦗 or 2! "Let's go Brandon!"
