Designs that reduce mold and mildew include drain holes or perforations to let water escape, quick-dry materials that air-dry rapidly, and materials described as inhibiting microbial growth to limit fungal development.

Attachment methods include suction cups, non-skid or strong-grip backings, rubber or latex backings, and neoprene backings; some products list no backing at all.
