Accessories in the personal hygiene room are, first of all, comfort and a great opportunity to get a boost of energy in the morning, to relax after workday evenings. Today, no one asks himself the question of why do you need rugs for the bathroom and toilet. Soft and grooved, with and without pile, natural and synthetic - these seemingly insignificant components of the interior firmly entered into everyday life of everyone.
The absence of rugs in the bathroom and toilet creates a feeling of discomfort, making the interior meager. However, few people know that they also have a number of requirements that must be taken into account when choosing and operating. Failure to do so may result in premature wear of the product and even a health hazard. The functional load, which is endowed with rugs for the bathroom and toilet, can be arbitrarily defined as follows:
- protection;
- health improvement;
- security.
Any coating will help protect your feet from hypothermia, both from natural and synthetic materials. The meaning of this function is to prevent the surfaces of the feet from cooling enough to harm the body.
If there are no other wishes, then you can safely buy a bath mat made of polypropylene or acrylic. Such products are easily amenable to any type of processing - both machine washable and manual. For those who prefer natural materials, a cotton model with the addition of synthetic thread is perfect.
Improving load, as a rule, are interior items made from natural materials, designed in a special way. If bath and toilet mats are made of cane, bamboo, jute, wool and have a corrugated, sometimes rough surface, then we can safely talk about their health benefits.
Foot massage after taking a shower will be useful to everyone, without exception. On the same surface, you can perform a little gymnastics for the legs, only you need to take care of your own safety. Bath and toilet mats located on a smooth surface should not be displaced by foot movements and moisture. Reliability of fastening provides the wrong side of the accessory.
The ideal option is a model with a rubberized or vinyl back side, having an additional substrate made of latex, rubber, or equipped with special suction cups that fit tightly to the surface when water gets in. It is worth paying attention to the models on sale marked "Bactericidal coating." The special composition of the substance prevents the occurrence of fungal diseases, and also prevents mold.
Among other things, like any other interior item, the rug should harmoniously fit into the situation both in color and in shape. Before buying, you should determine for yourself: what effect do you want to produce when using this accessory? Perhaps this will be the concealment of defects in the flooring and a visual increase in space, or maybe multi-colored bath mats will divide the room into zones. A good solution is to design all the components of the interior in one theme. In any case, a personal design decision is a matter of everyone’s taste.
