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. 😷

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

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.

My great aunt/uncle had carpet in the bathroom when I was a kid. I would go over their house exactly once a year, probably been there like 10 times in my life, and even as a <10 year old kid, I thought it was nasty.
