Has anyone had a problem with moisture or mildew forming underneath the mat?

We have only had our mats in place for around 2 months. I can't tell yet but with all the snow we have had, this winter will be a good test.

This is our third year with the mat and with all the snow and slush; the mat really saved our garage floor. Haven't noticed any mold or mildew.

I have had the mat for over six months and have never looked under it until today. Your question got my attention so I checked, there is no sign of any moisture. I do live in a dryer than normal area, Saint George, Utah elevation 2400 feet. Hope this helps

I had mine for a year with no mildew. For the price and quality I highly recommend it!

I would agree with Matthew. The whole thing is practically covered in a plastic material, so it is mostly impervious to water splash or drips. The largest concern would be where the power cord attaches to the mat. Do not know if age and localized rapid temperature cooling from water contact could cause the material to become brittle and crack over time.

So, far I have not had any problems with moisture, or mold. And we get pretty good winters. I used the underlsyment for my hsrdwood gloors which was all throughout the house. Hope this helped in your decision.

Follow up: I see a previous poster had cracking issues...I had that with a previous mat...not a crack on this in over a year and counting.

I washed mine multiple times with dish soap and water and left it out in the sun, this eventually fixed the problem for my mat. Try supplier Tasha Maydonik <tashamaydonik@gmail.com> (contact 6 months old)Square36

No - mine has been fine the entire time. My only complaint is the fungal build-up... have to use vinegar every few weeks to clean it out.

I don't use a towel. The mat is fine until it gets wet with sweat, then it gets very slippery, at least for me. I have been told by a friend that this improves over time with usage, that the mat requires a 'break in' period.

try placing a ball mid-table and other items on cushions to keep some air circulation going. Might mitigate your mildew problem.'''' marinmarine

I have this mat for 2 years and I do not have any problem, it constantly in my kids bedroom and they use it once they are exercising on a monkey gym

I have two mats - both still in new condition EXCEPT that both are raised up around all edges. I don't remember ever even having a warranty info. Has anyone contacted the company and heard back from them yet .

After every shower, I hang our mat so that the water drips off of it. I then spray it with a shower cleaner to prevent mildew from forming. My mat has no odor on it.

Not that I am aware of. We have used ours for months w/ no problems. It removes moisture like a champ!!

I have used soft scrub with bleach directly on the mat with a brush. No problems.

Wow thank u, good to know/keep in mind, i just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. Maybe try wiping down the surface? Maybe its been de-sensitized?

I have also used this mat, but have not met such a situation. Maybe the mat is not dry when you bake with it.

I haven't had that problem. I usually put a towel over the actual mat and hang the towel to air dry after using it. I then store the bamboo mat on its side, next to the bathtub. You may try putting the mat in strong sunshine for a few days, especially if you are in a dry climate. :/
