Looking to try out something in front of tanks, plankton culture, and sinks to keep vinyl floor from getting so wet during cleaning and water moving activities. Looking for waterproof, absorbent, quick drying, machine washable, and not too expensive. So far, memory foam bath runner is at the top of my list, thought it looks kinda bulky and comfort is not needed. Until now we have just thrown towels on spills, so I am up for trying something better. (This is for use in a classroom; I am not just super messy.)
