A busy mom got the shock of her life while cleaning her bathroom. As she moved the bathmat from the floor, she came face to face with a terrifying sight. Long, stringy, white-colored figures were lurking beneath the mat. Understandably alarmed, she took a photo and turned to the internet for help.

At first, she thought she had a bathroom infestation of worms. Luckily, they didn’t start moving all at once, sparing her a potential heart attack. But what were these strange creatures? Was it a fungus or a plant that had somehow found its way into her bathroom?

The truth turned out to be much simpler. It was not a living creature at all. Her bathmat had melted onto the tile floor, leaving behind rubber strands that mimicked the appearance of worms. Relieved to discover they were not alive, she sought advice on how to clean up the mess and restore her bathroom’s pristine condition.

She posted her query online, asking for help. Many people offered suggestions, but some were still taken aback by the rubber strands’ resemblance to squiggly worms.
One woman exclaimed, “I thought those were worms – I had a heart attack for a minute there!”
Another added, “Lord, I thought those were worms!”

Cleaning experts eventually recommended using “goo remover” products like Orange Power Sticky Spot or Goo Dissolver. They also suggested pouring boiling hot water from a kettle to help dissolve the strands. Alternative solutions included using acetone, paint thinner, or eucalyptus oil.

In the end, the mom was able to remove the rubber residue, thanks to the helpful suggestions she received. Her bathroom was back to looking clean and tidy once again.
