Bathroom Rugs?

WildFlowerUnicorn — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 14:57:09 GMT

My Mom always had the set of bathroom rugs. The one that fits around the toilet, plus a toilet seat and tank cover.

I do not use any of those myself except a rug in front of the sink. The rug in front of the toilet is not the kind that fits around. I notice some people do still use these.

Do you use the sets? They still sell these sets in the stores!

NO. We haven't in at least 25 years. We never have used the toilet seat cover, and in one house the one for around the toilet didn't fit and in our little college apartment that's ALL that would fit there! LOL!!!

Yes I do use non skid rugs in the bathroom but not the one that fits around the toilet---that concept grosses me out--had only one boy child and a hubs and never had those then, but can you imagine a house full of boys and keeping that thing clean---gross!!!

I don't use any kind of rugs in my house. They are an accident waiting to happen. When I became disabled I had a home-environment-safety specialist come to my house and evaluate any issues that needed attention and one of them was to get rid of all the area rugs, especially the ones in the bathroom where falls have been most commonly seen. They told me if a slippery floor is problem in the bathroom then friction tape is an option, not rugs.

Never did much like that style, and now that every day my balance reminds me I'm getting closer and closer to "old" no way do I want small rugs where I walk.

I use the one around the toilet because I hate my bare feet on a bare floor. I have a rug in front of our sinks and one to step out of the shower. I wash them often.

They still sell all of those types of bathroom rugs.

I don't have any rugs in my powder rooms. I use a very large rug in my master bath that covers the path from the tub to the sink. My other two baths have a rug folded and made available for use if needed..no one usually uses those bathrooms unless we have overnight guests or grand kids staying over.

I do laundry for an elderly lady. She uses those rugs around the toilet and a toilet seat cover as well as a bath rug. They are used for safety reasons. She uses a walker 100% of the time and her bathroom floor is shiny and slippery...wet or dry. She has limited use of her hands as well.

Yes - Yes - Yes = 3 One of which is a long fluffy in front of my double (2) sinks. Cozy on the toes!

I use a rug that's larger than part of the set ones. I don't do the sets. I do use a hand towel on the top of the tank. I can change the color weekly. (laundry).

How about a large non-skid rug by a bathtub or a shower? Just me here, it I think that provides more safety than wet feet on a tile floor. Safety bars should be installed to help you exit bathing.

Yup, a small oblong step-out mat in front of the toilet and a larger oblong rug in front of the sink. I wouldn't never not have any rugs in a bathroom. So cold and sterile. Gotta have a few rugs to warm it up a bit on the old tootsie toes.

Do any of you remember the matching doorknob covers that were also included with these bathroom sets?...LOL

When my husband and I were first married, we lived on the second floor of a two family home...There was carpeting installed in the bathroom...Ugh!...We quickly removed it and had new flooring installed!

I've always used non-skid bathroom rugs in front of our vanity and tub areas.

I only use small white washable rugs by the shower and tub.

I have one in front of the sink and another for when I step out of the shower but before I leave for work I hang that one on the side of the tub.

NO RUGS! Only use the bath mats on floor when showering/bathing - then into the wash they go.

As someone already mentioned, they are an accident waiting to happen.

I use bathroom rugs but not the sets. I just have throw rugs in front of the sinks, tub and shower. I grew up with the rug sets though and all the stuff on the toilet . I never did like them.

When DH was alive I used them, now no.

In my full baths I have a rug to stand on when getting out of a tub or shower. In my bath, I also have a rug in front of the sink.

NO sets now, or ever. I do have a small rug in front of the tub and the shower as a safety measure, since the bathroom floors are ceramic tile.
