Alternative to carpet

I had seen the concept in a product for basements to help keep them dry, but I did not need enough to do a whole house.

So I thought small..... This is a non-skid shower mat that has ribs and holes to allow for airflow.

I can cut it to size as needed, available on Amazon and for not much.

I have not tried it yet, but I will soon. Better than nothing the way I see it.
