Carpet in the bathroom? How the heck do you remove all the curly hairs, inaccurate toilet shots, blood, etc from the carpet without renting a steamer?

my current bathroom has tile, and every bathroom I've ever had was either tile or linoleum. of the two, I prefer tile, but linoleum is easier to clean.

my friend has a carpeted bathroom and I'm not really a big fan. it's nice when you're coming out of the shower, but it's gotta be pretty groady too.

Master Bath = tile
Kids bath = carpet (stupid builders. this summers project is to rip out that carpet and put tile down)


I have a friend whos Grandma's kitchen has carpet. It just amazes me everytime i vist... I guess it was the fad thing to do in the 70's when they built the house.

One house four baths all 24" tile aka marble ( i did it myself). The other 3 bath all wood aka brazilian walnut aka ipe (i did that too).

Pulling toliets off was nasty.

Carpet in the bathroom? That's just plain gross. And if it's an apartment like someone mentioned above, and the carpet wasn't brand new when you moved it, that sounds like a fricking health hazard.

We have nasty looking linoleum which we put a carpet over. But we're going to replace the flooring with something else. But since linoleum isn't a choice... I guess I'll vote carpet.

And the carpet isn't attached so we just throw it in the BIG LOAD Laundry machine a block over every so often.

I know one person that bought a house. Had wall to wall carpet in the bathroom! Probably hte cheapest way tyo do it if using remnants I guess.

Most people have tile or linoleum with throw rugs on top, so you poll is loaded. You need like 6 options.

Tile, carpet is just stupid... what happens if your toilet backs up? Yep, gotta get a new carpet.
