How To Easily Get Mold Out of Bathmat

It took me too long after having a baby to get a bath mat. Then when I did, I wasn't diligent about hanging it up between baths, and it quickly developed mold around every single little suction cup.

Then it sat in my laundry room for months. Then I had the epiphany to hang it outside in the sun. So I threw it over the chain link fence in the backyard of our apartment. And sure enough, within days, maybe sooner (I wasn't paying close attention), all the mold was gone.

And the last type it listed was French Farmhouse. I knew as soon as I heard those words, without even looking at any pictures, that this is the term I have been looking for. *lets out a sigh of relief from years of uninspired design decisions now come to a close* I later learned that an...
