Your Bathroom is the Riskiest Room in Your Home
You may be aware that a lot of accidents happen in bathrooms, but do you realize that your bathroom is the riskiest room in your entire home? It makes sense, when you think about how much water there is in your bathroom, combined with smooth floors and other slippery surfaces. You can easily see how the bathroom is a waiting disaster area for many types of accidents.
The most common bathroom accident is the slip-and-fall. These often happen in the bathtub or shower. The addition of rubber bath mats can greatly decrease the likelihood of this type of accident.
Falling in the shower or tub is particularly common, not just because the floor of the tub is slippery, but also because the heat of the bath or shower can cause lightheadedness. Add to this the element of taking baths or showers first thing in the morning or last thing at night, and the combination of fatigue, lightheadedness, and slippery floor can be a lethal one. Simple rubber floor mats in the shower and tub can make the bathroom much safer.
By adding rubber mats to the bathtub, you are eliminating one of the most common causes of accident in your home. Many people slip in the shower and break limbs, suffer head injuries, or even die from a broken neck or blunt force injury to the head.
While the likelihood of an accident this serious is small, the cost and effort involved in putting in rubber bath mats are even smaller. Rubber shower mats, and rubber mats for the bathroom floor, are a very simple way to prevent slip-and-fall accidents in the bathroom, and can make a dramatic difference in the safety of your bathroom.
