First of the year maintenance checks

I have had poor experience with strip in tubs/showers. They hold dirt, discolor and peel eventually. Alternatively buy a couple non slip suction mats and alternate them after disinfecting them with each turnover. They don’t last forever either but they work and look better than strips.

Actually, with every cleaning. It is not hard where we are.

In one apartment has a non-slip surface which is built into the tub. (I think that may be a feature for the elderly as to loo is higher than normal too). But I use the suction mats in the other apartment. I use clear ones and put them in the laundry with everything else. They don’t last for ever with such frequent washes but they are clean and lovely for every guest. :slight_smile:

KKC, do you mind if I use this idea for our ABB Community Host Leader FB group? Great idea! Slow month

If you have just a shower like us, get a teak platform or mat.

Absolutely, please do!

If anyone is putting in a new shower stall that isn’t a prefab, they might want to consider using pool tiles for the floor, as I did in my showers. Because there are so many grout lines so close together, even though they are small, the floor isn’t at all slippery.

I got this for the shower to keep hair and gunk from accumulating. I just throw the hair collector in the washing machine with the towels, and it comes out good as new, although you can also buy replacements.
