Care varies greatly by bath-mat fibers and backing. The official IKEA Korea listing for TOFTBO 806.102.62 specifies polyester fabric, adhesive backing, a 40°C wash and low-temperature drying. These settings do not automatically apply to other bath mats.

Check the care label and item number to confirm you have the specified TOFTBO variant, such as 806.102.62. If its backing is peeling or cracking, consult IKEA before washing.
Shake off loose dust and hairs and remove anything that might snag during washing. Keep mats with different care labels separate.
Follow IKEA's label: machine-wash on a normal cycle at a maximum of 40°C. Do not use bleach.
If tumble drying, use low heat, up to the stated maximum of 60°C. Always follow the actual label if it differs, and avoid overheating.
Do not iron or dry-clean. Make sure both the fabric and backing are thoroughly dry before returning the mat to service.
Dry the bathroom floor before replacing the mat and check it lies flat. If it moves underfoot, stop using it and reassess slip protection.
