    I might be able to fit my 18 x 24 in the bathtub but none of my bigger ones. Maybe they have kiddie pools on clearance at walmart.

    I think putting wet towels on the mat top and bottom and keeping them wet would work for the big mats.

    It would go in lengthwise, but would have to curl up at the sides. I think the Kiddy pool idea is a good one. If not, I will resort to wiping down with a wet cloth from time to time.

    I want to try that with my old mat. I sure hope it works. It's my favorite mat.
