Working at Stanley Steemer, I would hate running into carpet in restrooms. Once the steam would hit the carpet around the toilet it would agitate urine odor. 😷

Amsterdam has these wonderful outdoor urinals that are just spiral sets of walls for privacy with a drain in the middle.
The only time I visited was when there was some big game against a British soccer team, and they'd be power washing these things, orange clouds rising into the air, and drunk hooligans just waltzing through the piss clouds like no biggie, whereas I'm running streets away to avoid

Why do people have carpets in the bathroom? By the commode 🤢

u/The_Velvet_Bulldozer 6d ago
It was definitely a 70s-80s thing. They hated hardwood or tile floors. It was either carpet or shitty linoleum. I rewatched Poltergeist the other day and the whole bathroom is pink carpet. Just a mold nightmare.

I used to think I liked carpeted bathrooms. Then I realized it's just that each of the carpeted bathrooms I knew in my youth were all at houses that I enjoyed being at. My grandma's, my aunt's, my best friend's mom's, and my elderly neighbors. My kid brain associated carpeted bathrooms with some of my favorite people.
As an adult I shudder at the thought lol.

My aunt and uncle's house growing up was like that. They also didn't have a shower in the upstairs bathroom, just a bathtub. To shower you'd have to go down to the basement bathroom very far out of the way.

I learned recently that the bathroom in my early childhood home wasn't carpeted when we moved in; rather, MY DAD had it carpeted in the early 90s! When I asked my mom wtf he did that for, she said he wanted his feet to be warm when using the bathroom 🤢 why he couldn't just wear slippers idfk

In the UK it was common to have a little rug specifically to put under the sink & up against the toilet. or against the bath/shower in the 90's, but not an entire carpeted bathroom.
Even the toilet rugs are pretty rare now. Still occasionally have a small rug by the bath/shower though.
I never understood the logic. If you wear slippers, theres no need for any carpet in the bathroom. plus, It's much more hygienic to clean a tiled floor than put down a rug to soak up urine.

u/DuckCleaning 6d ago
Bathroom mats are quite common in most households still. Especially for stepping out the shower and sink. Bathrooms in condos are small though so the shower mat is the toilet mat.

u/Gseph 6d ago
Yeah, i just feel like they've declined in popularity since i was a kid in the 90's. Every house used to have 3 bathroom mats in each bathroom, now its usually just one for the bath/shower.

I still have all of them rugs and always have, sinks, toilet and next to the bath all shaped specifically and I have several changes of rugs so I can wash them every few days, I basically wash them as soon as the bath one is abit too wet, just change them all. I thought that was common!!! Feel like I gotta have the rugs to take the chill off the room.

My mom and stepdad's house was a foreclosure, and it had some wacky features, including a carpeted master bathroom with a sunken in tub. The carpet was just cut around the tub, and if you took a bath in it, the carpet would get all wet. No one in our family ever really used the tub bc it was gross. Then last year, my mom and stepdad remodeled that bathroom and put in one of those huge fancy rain showers, and tiled the floor. But yeah I have no fuckin clue what the previous owners were thinking.

I'm not gonna lie, these were on my grandmother's toilets and felt GREAT. However she washed them every few days and was, in other areas, unbelievably clean. What what stranger is she had these germ catchers but had plastic on her very expensive couch.
She also left out a bowl of hard candy year round (no individual wrappers) which I had to use a butter knife to break off a piece.
Life was strange back in the 80s.

u/justthestaples 6d ago
I've always figured plastic on the couch was to prevent stains from food or dirt more than a germ thing. You can't usually wash couches after all.

My friend bought a house that has this and matching, wall to wall carpet. Yes, in the bathroom. From the bathtub to the toilet to the sink, the entire bathroom has wall to wall carpet.
The previous owners had left their poor cats locked up in there and their urine had soaked through the baseboard and rotted it. When my friend pulled up the carpet most of the floor came up with it.
