Camping mat as substrate

[GeoffreyDragon]

Hi all, I recently put down some linoleum for Geoffrey, but it's too slippery.

I bought a foam camping mat, but it's got a strange smell. Is this OK to use or should I try washing it first etc?

Thanks in advance!

The best thing would be spongy backed shelf liner that you can put in your kitchen drawers & cabinets.

Non-adhesive

Hi Terry, thanks I have been looking but to no avail yet. I just thought this would be perfect as I already have it. I'm going to air it out for a week and see how it is

If it is a porous material (which it sounds like it is) I would not use it. It will absorb the liquid portion of any feces and harbour bacteria.

Do you have a Walmart or a kitchen store close by ? You will be able to find a roll of non-adhesive shelf or kitchen drawer liner there. It has rubbery or spongy type of backing to keep it in place. Very easy to clean. Google it, then you can see what it's like. They have it here in the states for about 10$ a roll.
