Aquarium rug or mat?

[Tristan]

Anyone know of or use a rug/carpet/mat that they put under or in front of their aquarium? Doesn’t necessarily have to absorb a ton of water, just prevent occasional splashes from getting on to the floor and can be easily washed.
I’ve been looking at a waterproof entry rug or something like the cobalt aquatics aqua sponge mat.

I just keep some old towels handy. When I do work I fold a towel in two and work over that.

Beach towels, hang in the garage when you are done.

I use a bath mat. Works very well and much cheaper.

I just ruin my hardwood floors and get yelled at by my girlfriend....

A mat or set of fish towels would probably be a good investment. Any sleek or non-obvious designs for mats?

Nobody gets into this hobby and thinks to themselves “I need to start saving money”

Don't own carpet or pergo type floors and there's no problem. Lifeproof or linoleum or properly sealed real hardwoods are good to go

I do the towel folding thing, seriously considering a bath mat because I keep getting yelled at about water on the floor and the towel tends to get wadded up by the end of a water change
