Do you have carpet in your home? It is becoming less common in modern homes, especially when considering how difficult it is to properly clean carpeted floors, but there are still some that enjoy the soft surface in their home. How about in your bathroom? You will find even fewer homes where they have carpet in that room, but again, there are some that want to have their feet warm in the bathroom.

So, why is it a bad idea to have carpet in the bathroom? One issue is hygiene. There is a lot of bacteria to go around in your bathroom, and it can be difficult enough to keep it clean, even without carpet on the floor. To really get a carpet cleaned up, you would need to use a steam cleaner or something similar.

You also have the risk of mold growth in your carpet. With the amounts of moisture found in a bathroom, mold could start growing very easily, and as you probably know, it’s not easy to dry a carpet that has gotten wet.
