People who carpet bathrooms clearly don’t understand the concept of mold. This is beyond filthy. What a disgrace.

People who don't get carpeted bathrooms, underestimate the dangers of slipping on tiles.

It's no coincidence that the elderly love a carpetted bathroom. It's less of an issue than it once was, especially if you can afford a cleaner who shampoos the carpet once a week.

Not this monstrosity obviously.

Or I can just put down a bath mat that I can easily remove and throw in the laundry.

So that step up to the shower is even more of a bad idea then.

Then wear sandals or something

If elderly people tripping is the biggest worry than instead of carpet they should floor it with outdoor decking vinyl or something. Waterproof and gritty for grip.

Slipping in the bathroom is just the modern version of lions weeding out the old.

Wow if only there was a choice other than tiles or a filthy carpet that you gotta shampoo with a cleaner every week.

If only there were tiles with ribs and other anti slip features that could prevent slipping.

If only there were bathroom rugs.
