I have the combination shower/tub. Thru the years I have tried many
nonslip ideas. I found those suction cup mats exceedingly dangerous and threw it away after one shower. What Julie says about those stickon appliques is spot on. I solved the problem by buying the strips and cutting them into tiny dots and polkadotted the bottom of the tub. Round picks up less friction than strip edges so they stay stuck and still prevent slippng. I have an industrial grab bar though it's placement really only makes it good while in the shower, not for stepping out. It has saved me from a fall twice. Like Gary, I have to be careful and never hurry the process of exiting. My "threshhold" is 16inches high-dangerous for the elderly but also for shorter people. As for cleaning products, any of those limeaway or scrubbing bubbles type products leave the tub floor slippery. I use Soft Scrub with Bleach (not the green gel) and have no residue slipperiness. I have hard water-can't stand softened water. |

The building was circa the 1920's. Hardwood floors except in the kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom had a claw-foot tub :) French doors separated the dining room from the living room and another set of French doors opened off the bedroom into the living room. I put up curtains on those for privacy. The dining room opened onto a small galley kitchen which worked perfectly well for our needs (I was married at the time). There was a walk-in butlers pantry on the other side of the dining room. It had a a small (about 16") door at the bottom of the wall that opened onto the hallway to allow for milk & butter deliveries. That's how old this building was. It was charming! The landlord had maintained it beautifully and it was only about $250/month. I loved that apartment. Loved the French doors. Jill |
