The bathroom is our favorite place to relax and get away from stress.
There are three ways to decrease injuries in the bathroom
1) Reduce the risk of falling in your bathroom
Slipping and falling accounts for 47% of these injuries. 79% of these injuries are caused by older adults. Many readers may not be surprised by these numbers, as the bathroom floor is often damp and tiles can be shiny and slippery.
How to reduce the risk of falling in the toilet
These are some ways to reduce falls and injuries in your bathroom.
Use a slip-resistant rug outside your shower and bath enclosure.
For benchtops that are rounded, you can reduce the risk of injury.
By storing plants and other items on counters or shelves, you can keep your bathroom floor clutter free.
The most important factor to make your bathroom floor safe is the choice of tiles. As it provides grip, you will need to clean and detail the tile grout.
It might be worth considering re-embellishing tiles or fixtures with an anti-slip treatment. Anti-slip treatment offers a better grip on wet surfaces up to 800% and reduces the chance of slippage.
2) Pay attention your temperature
Your water heater's heat setting might be higher than its boiling point. This can result in severe burns to your skin or the skin of your family members.
If you're remodeling or building a hot-water system, it is advisable to install an antiscald device in your bathroom fixtures. You can choose a shower valve that has anti-scalding capabilities or a rail kit with a thermostat.
If you're one of the people who heats their bath, then waits for it to cool down, consider that the material in your bath will impact the cooling time.
3) Remove mould and mildew
Grout stains are a common sight in bathrooms. However, they can pose a danger to your health. These stains may be found around your bathroom taps or bathtub, which could indicate cracks and present a danger to your health.
There are many cleaning methods that can be used to remove mould or other stains from your bathroom. To clean your bathroom, you might also consider hiring a detailer.
