I didn’t realize I could dry off with a towel while still standing in the bathtub/shower until I was 26. Now my bathroom floor doesn’t get wet on a daily basis.
The perfect bathmat is one of those brown fibre door mats, the kind people also use to get their car out of the snow. Always feels dry, never slips, and lasts for years.
They're so pokey, though!
Preal men like scratchy mats. Puts hair on your feet.
I hate when I get hair on my feet
Or just one that's more of a rug than a small towel.
Huh, I tried so many of those over the years and always hated the way they feel. Then a few years back, I discovered mats that are more like towels you can throw on the ground but thicker. So much better. The clincher was that I never knew how to clean the mats, but the towel- like ones can go in the wash whenever towels are cleaned
You can wash a small rug just fine. But the dryer on high heat may damage the backing, so use low heat.
Moss is superior because it feels great on the feet and the water falling off you is a feature instead of a problem.
That's what bath mats are for..
Ok, but why not leave all the water in the spot that actually has a drain for it?
I believe wet bathrooms have a drain in the middle of the bathroom. This is the way we should build all bathrooms.
Bathrooms should have a floor drain regardless of whether they are of the wet variety. I personally hate the concept of a wet bathroom and the behaviour it encourages. Stuff gets wet that shouldn't, it just makes everything harder and expands the scope of cleaning while compromising "dry" tasks after someone else has used the shower if they partake in the undisciplined behaviour the design encourages. Also not a fan of all the functions being in one room.
I might be using the term wet bathroom wrong, I just mean the floor should have a drain (and be able to get wet obviously).
Because your towel will get wet when drying your feet and such.
...lift up your feet.
I do both. You don’t want to step on a cold floor either.
After you've skimmed the water off, then towel dried inside the shower, the bathmat barely needs to get wet, especially if you step onto your towel when getting out.
