Slippery Shower Floor
Ken Williams has a very slippery shower floor in his Mooresville, NC home. Let him describe it:
"The water in my house is very soft and so it is very slippery and the soap never seems to be rinsed off and as a result the shower floor which is 6X6 tiles is dangerously slippery.
The nature of the floor tiles does not allow for a bathmat to adhere to the floor.
The bathmat just slides around. I currently stand on a small towel to shower which helps a lot. What else can I do to make the shower floor safe and not dangerously slippery?"
Here's my answer.
Ken I worked in a restaurant in high school and college and discovered that if you don't want to slip on wet floors, the floor surface needs to be REAL rubber.
I'm wondering if the mats you've tried are not pure natural rubber. Natural rubber is not slippery when wet believe it or not. That's why hiking boots, firefighter boots, dock workers, etc. all have rubber soles.
I'm convinced that a rubber bath mat that's got suction cups on the bottom will work for you and it will not slide around.
