Do You Use Scatter Rugs In Your Home?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. CatsandDogs (6420)   ranked 2 out of 78 in my home 4 years ago

I have quite a few in my house. One at the front door, one in the hallway, one at the kitchen sink, two in the mud room, three in one bathroom and four in the master bathroom. I love having them there to step on for it's much easier on my back than the hard floor. I wash them once every two weeks and hang them up to dry. I don't use the dryer because of the slip resistant backing because the dryer dries it out and it peels off. They last much longer if hung out to dry. I have a wet clothes rack and use that on a rainy day.
So do you have scatter rugs in your home?

Naw.. I prefer a stable single rug that is unmoveable.. I get kind of annoyed by unstable objects...

LOL That is a scatter rug hon. What ever you do when you wash it, don't put it in the dryer because it will dry out the nonslip stuff on the back. It'll last much longer if you don't put it in the dryer.

I have three. One beneath my kitchen sink, one in the bathroom by the tub(so we don't slip & fall when we step out) & one outside my patio door.

That's cool. I love having them in my house for it makes it feel really homey. lol I have so many that I can't fit them all in the washing machine and so I have to make two loads. lol Don't put them in the dryer or the nonslip backing will dry out. They'll last a lot longer if you don't put them in the dryer.

In my last house we had hardwood floors so I had alot of rugs like that too. I would wash mine and hang them on the line to dry. Now in this house we have carpet so I only have the rugs in my kitchen and bathroom. Your right the dryer is hard on them.

Terry! You have a clothes line too?! COOL!!thumbup lol I thought those things were becoming obsolete anymore. I'm glad I'm not the only one who still hangs clothes out to dry! Hey, it saves money not using the dryer. The dryer uses twice as much energy than anything else so yeah it saves quite a bit.

Hi CatsandDogs... I have one between my living room and dining room where the carpeting isn't tacked down. It helps to preserve that area (and the carpet). happy

There's another at the door that comes in from the garage and a small one at the sink in the kitchen.


myLot reputation of 96/100. CatsandDogs (6420)   ranked 2 out of 78 in my home  4 years ago

That's a good way to preserve that area. I like rugs at the sink and at the toilet for it's good on my back at the sink and to have something soft at my feet when stuck on the toilet. LOL

I only have them in my bathroom for after a shower because I have no choice. I use to love them, now I do not care much for them. When I was working as a caregiver the lady had one down in her bathroom. Most of the slip resistant backing was gone and me being accident prone, I slipped on it, not once, but twice, on the same knee in the same hour. Now I have tendonitis in both knees from falling too much. This is why I steer clear of those rugs.

Ouch Rozie! I'd have thrown that thing out the first time and gotten a new one. That's pretty dangerous to have a rug like that around. My mother had a few in which I've slipped but caught myself and that darn rug went flying across the room and I told her that it had to go and I'd get her a new one because that one was just too darned dangerous.

When I moved into my first own apartment I chose not to have rugs or scatter rugs there, there was new flooring in it and I found that pretty enough.
When we moved into here, we saw that the little hallway and the living room is floored with laminate, and did new flooring in all the other rooms. He insisted on having these bathroom rugs and so he bought them, if he feels better so he should have his way as with most of the decorating in the apartment. In fact I only had a say in the kitchen and my own computer room where I also sleep.

Well book, since you're the breadwinner and the one who pays the rent, you should have some say in how you want the place to be decorated. After all, it's your place too. As for hubby wanting rugs in the bathroom, I'm with him there because it's comfortable on the feet especially at the toilet when having to be there for any length of time.
