Is your bathroom a safe place to be? It is one of the rooms in your home where the most accidents occur, so here are a few tips on simple things you could do to lower the risk to your health when stepping into the bathroom.
First, you should do your best to keep your bathroom floor dry. A wet floor can be very slippry, so make sure that your shower doesn’t dump a lot of water out on the floor. This could happen if the shower liner is too short, so make sure it is installed correctly.
Your tub will get wet, there is no getting around that, and that is why installing a non-slip bath mat in the tub can be a life-saver. It can be cheap and it doesn’t have to be one of those ugly ones that your grandparents had.
If you are older, the addition of handrails can add a whole other layer of safety to your bathroom. They are the best option for steadying yourself. Just ensure that they are installed correctly so that there is no chance of them pulling loose when put under stress.
