Hi Janet P.,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for continuing to use our scrub on your face and hands—we're so glad to hear how soft it leaves your skin!
We also appreciate you sharing your experience with the residue on your shower mat. You're definitely not alone—our scrubs are made with natural oils and butters, which can sometimes leave a light residue behind. It sounds like you’ve found a great cleaning method already, and you're doing a fantastic job keeping things maintained!
If you’re looking for an alternative that might be a little easier on your hands, try spraying the mat with white vinegar after each shower. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing—it can help break down oils without the need for heavy scrubbing each time.
And if it’s possible, placing a small towel or washable mat under your feet while you use the scrub can help minimize residue buildup on your main bathmat.
We’re always here if you’d like to troubleshoot further. Thanks again for being part of the Bend Soap community!
