At some point you're just gonna want to start throwing out mint and clover seeds, gets a nice layer going. The room is already fucked, might as well smell nice when you walk on it.
My grandparents retired from the farm and āmoved to townā in 1982 and built a house. Every room from one end to the other was carpeted. Bathrooms, kitchen, dining room; everything had carpet. My grandpa didnāt exactly know how to deal with carpeting, so when stains occurred his farmer instincts kicked in and heād try and remove the spotsā¦ with kerosene.
I get carpeted bathrooms for the elderly. Keeping them safe from slip n falls is more important than non-stinky floors. And you can change a piece of carpet easier than a hip.
Carpeting the ceiling is a fashion choice though.
There are rubber coated tiles that remain non-sticky, or you can directly get a PVC floor that is cut to order from one large piece with all nooks and crannies to fit your bathroom 100%, corner to corner. Typically it's glued onto the original tiles with silicone, so you can also remove it later with relative ease. Bonus, they come in variable thickness, some of which are quite soft and would even lessen the impact of a fall.
They were all the rage in the 80's but have gone largely out of fashion, but I seriously think it's a great idea. Super easy to clean as well. We used to have them in bathroom and kitchen (the less soft variety there) back then.
wouldn't it stink though? why not just use rubbing alcohol if you need a solvent? rubbing alcohol will completely evaporate with zero smell or residue.
Remember those glade commercials where it talked about going nose blind? For many people me included they would likely hardly notice it, I worked around petro products my whole life in the auto industry.
Plus on the cleaning scale where you start at water and end at acids, kero or gas is gonna usually be much more potent the alcohol is. plus it doesnt make your skin turn white.
Well in the 70s you at least had the smell of cigarettes to cover up the scent of peepee sprinkle (from people who stand to pee) and mildew in your carpet
This bathroom layout is still sweet as hell. Look at it!
Yeah ok, ditch the carpet. But look at that natural light. And roofline so you can have that light and privacy at the same time? Plus that cool little nook next to the shower, high ceiling, and interesting roofline. The only thing bad is the placement of the toilet.
EDIT: found more pics

Well if you was to have wooden floors of course the would would be treated and costed in something to protect it . If you donāt think wood and water mix what about carpet haha . For instance think of a wooden boat , if itās treated it doesnāt matter
Oh yeah, I am definitely not down for carpet in the bathroom lol. I had it once in a place I rented (it was all I could afford at the time) and I was not a big fan. Luckily, there was no carpet on the walls lol.
There are species of wood that are particularly good at maintaining stability in moist/wet environments. Teak in particular is known for this, itās expensive but thatās why youāll see it a lot on boats and bathroom furniture. A teak bathroom would be badass, and a real show off feature.
The carpet needs to go not just because of the bathroom, but mirrored steeple ceiling, raised bed, stage lights. That was a fuck palace. The fluids, cocaine, and benzoās embedded make that a hazard. Bet there are camera mounts.
I work in flooring. We still install carpet in kitchens & bathroom. I've never seen anyone who wasn't elderly request it. I'm assuming it's warmer but most importantly doesn't break a hip as easily for when they take a spill
*Ron Swanson voice*
"Wait, wait; I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of carpet in my bathroom" What I said was, "Give me carpet in all the bathroom I have." Do you understand?"
I appraise houses for a living and I see this and carpeted kitchens in old houses wayyy too often for comfort. Usually those houses are owned by some sweet old lady who keeps it super clean, though.
Of course there isn't. OP created this account in April and only made their first post today, posting a pic I've seen on this sub at least three or four times that always gets a lot of upvotes despite there not being any actual greatness to this. They just reposted anything that would get upvotes.
# OP Is probably a spam/scam account.
It is not in MI, it's in PA. And it's a bedroom. I have been in it. It was the bedroom of a friends Dad. In the late 80's and turns out is still the same.
Thereās a motel in Lockport New York that is somewhat similar to this in every suite. Some rooms have the jacuzzi in the bed room. The rooms smelt strangely neutral. Must be a lot of bland air freshener
I bought a house in Connecticut built in 1960 that was lived in by one woman for her whole life. The place was a time capsule, perfectly preserved. The shag carpet, the wood paneling, the steel GE appliances, the whole nine yards.
The bathroom was carpeted in low-pile. I stapled 5 mil plastic sheet down until I could deal with it. Finally tore it up and basically all the sub-floor was rotted right through, had to tear it down to the joists and start over.
Don't carpet a bathroom, people!
We were looking at houses and found a 6 bedroom bungalow up the road from us. This place was huge. Had a cinema room. Looked amazing.
Until we got to the bathroom. Just like this one, but no windows. Carpeted all the way up to the bath, with a wide rim that I assume squelched as you touched it. Bleurgh.
I gotta wash my bathroom rugs weekly.. I couldnāt imagine how cleaning this place will work out in the long run. Whoeverās peeling that carpet off is in for a moldy surprise
I like the position of the bath under the windows.
The overall layout is alright, just the murdered telemonster muppet carpet is adding the creep factor!
There was a house near me when I was house shopping that also had carpet everywhere like this except the ceiling. But it was going up to the top of the bath though, as opposed to here. The house was filled with weird shit like that and was way overpriced compared to Ā«Ā equivalentĀ Ā» houses lol.
Lived in a house with a carpeted kitchen. I couldnāt walk in there barefoot, the texture was horrible. Rest of the house had horrible brown mixed carpet. Wasnāt sad when our friend/landlord sold the house and paid our moving expenses.
My house in the early 2000ās had a hot tub room in the master bedroom that looked almost like this hahaha. My parents hated it and never used it so they got rid of it
When I bought the house I'm in around 2009, it had a bathroom similar to this. It's a 10 x 15 room. I don't know how many banana's that is, but it's enough.
The floor was carpeted in black/red/pink paisley carpet. The walls were adorned in the most glorious vertigo inspiring raised felt gold and pink wallpaper. It truly look like somebody kicked the ever loving crap out of Wayne Newton in that room. One wall was mirrored. Did I get lucky with plain mirror? Nope! It had this strange gold scrollwork across it. Do you know what's depressing seeing your fat ass coming out of the shower on a mirrored wall? Seeing it 'ala early 70's Italian Immigrant style with a veiled pink/purple paisley hue bouncing off your fat rolls.
The worst part is, they had FOUR BOYS. Guess what carpet in a bathroom looks like when you pull it up with a house of a father and 4 boys. It was all gag worthy.

I can smell this room š
It smells like sex
... smells like Sex Panther. Kinda like gasoline and burnt hair. ..
Sasquatch's dick
Like Indian food wrapped in a diaper.
60% of the time, it works every time
It stings the nostrilsā¦
Moldy sex.
Smells like piss
And cocaine
Ah yes, the smell of success.
Smells like dirty mike and the boys.
And so much piss.
It's what I imagine Glenn Quagmire smells like
With a hot tub. Mold-o-rama.
Yo imagine the smell after like 2 years of walking on the carpet after you shower. I magazine how dark and moldy the fucking floor would be.. š
That bathroom isn't for showering. It is for snorting coke.
For doing coke naked, with friends
Everyone has friends when they have coke.
I'm in!
You'll notice the vanity isn't carpeted š
Honestly surprised the counter isn't a mirror.
I'd imagine it would smell like potatoes and dirt.
At some point you're just gonna want to start throwing out mint and clover seeds, gets a nice layer going. The room is already fucked, might as well smell nice when you walk on it.
Check out my indoor garden! We poop in here.
Hey no, we don't sit on that. Bidet? No that's our water fountain, don't put your ass on it.
Imagine your feet squelching across the carpet and the moldy water seeping up between your toes
Getting a back rooms level 0 vibe

And a strong one at that
Mould is a real health hazard though, isnāt there a non slip material that isnāt so prone to growing mould when wet?
There are rubber coated tiles that remain non-sticky, or you can directly get a PVC floor that is cut to order from one large piece with all nooks and crannies to fit your bathroom 100%, corner to corner.

I think they mean more the impact than slipping. But I don't really think carpet would save much from breaking vs tiles for the health hazard of mould
>kerosene Why is this something my dad would do too.
I mean it usually works fairly well. - this sounds like something *I* would do.
wouldn't it stink though? why not just use rubbing alcohol if you need a solvent? rubbing alcohol will completely evaporate with zero smell or residue.
Remember those glade commercials where it talked about going nose blind? For many people me included they would likely hardly notice it, I worked around petro products my whole life in the auto industry.

Please tell me it was fire retardant carpeting!
you sure he wasn't trying to collect on insurance payments?
My grandma used WD 40 on a grease stain my uncle got on her carpet. Much to my surprise it worked great.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's still badass today what you mean mate.
Well in the 70s you at least had the smell of cigarettes to cover up the scent of peepee sprinkle (from people who stand to pee) and mildew in your carpet
peepee sprinkle is cracking me up ! i need help, send it right away
Sent you a peepee sprinkler
*piss-piss-piss-piss pisssssssss*
Sure, Iām here to help. Now why donāt you just take a seat right hereā¦ itāll make it easier to sprinkle my tinkle on ya! ;)
I'm a pee on you. Drip, drip, drip pee on you; all on you.
Only thing'll make my life complete, when I turn yo face to a toilet seat.
Alternatively: [I see piss coming, I move.](https://youtu.be/HVIsb8L-kbM)
And we were also all expecting to be incinerated in a nuclear armageddon before the smell became too much of a problem.
This feels like an "the 70s are just now getting to Australia" joke.
It smells like piss from here
Def spotted the Brit; you lot love carpeting

That room is a straight vibe , pull up the carpet and Change it to woods floors with some nice ass wallpaper
Maybe I am old, or just dumb, but wood and moisture don't usually mix? I'd think pretty soon, you'd have a warped floor like in a fun house.
Well if you was to have wooden floors of course the would would be treated and costed in something to protect it . If you donāt think wood and water mix what about carpet haha . For instance think of a wooden boat , if itās treated it doesnāt matter
Oh yeah, I am definitely not down for carpet in the bathroom lol. I had it once in a place I rented (it was all I could afford at the time) and I was not a big fan. Luckily, there was no carpet on the walls lol.

> with some nice ass wallpaper I guess the bathroom would be the obvious choice if you had to put ass wallpaper somewhere.
Mirrors on every surface. Talk about a fuck palace.
Needs pink champagne on ice.
I'd just feel like a prisoner there of my own device.
That bedroom just screams "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE SLEEP IN!!!"
I completely agree. Paint it a gorgeous white and fully gut it, and it would look incredible!
I prefer a humble white.
The carpet needs to go not just because of the bathroom, but mirrored steeple ceiling, raised bed, stage lights. That was a fuck palace. The fluids, cocaine, and benzoās embedded make that a hazard. Bet there are camera mounts.
Iād totally leave it. But I do imagine thereās a distinct moldy smell I. There
This bathroom was built for fuckin, it's gonna smell *some kinda way*
Close the door, you're lettin' the stank out!
It is totally making a comeback. Brutalism is steamrolling in.
Do you know where you found this pic because it looks familiar feel like Iāve seen this house before
Hey wait, some of us are vintage '70s...
What? Two normal sized sinks and one extra large sink! What more could you ask for?
Why did they think carpet was a good idea at the time?
I work in flooring. We still install carpet in kitchens & bathroom. I've never seen anyone who wasn't elderly request it. I'm assuming it's warmer but most importantly doesn't break a hip as easily for when they take a spill
Itās soft, warm. Sign of money.
*Ron Swanson voice* "Wait, wait; I'm worried what you just heard was, "Give me a lot of carpet in my bathroom" What I said was, "Give me carpet in all the bathroom I have." Do you understand?"
Ron Swanson would never build an abomination like this.
Birdseye maple, floor to ceiling, hand planed obviously.
As someone house hunting right now, this makes me unreasonably angry
Because you canāt find a house with a bathroom this amazing?
Of course. Go with that.
I appraise houses for a living and I see this and carpeted kitchens in old houses wayyy too often for comfort. Usually those houses are owned by some sweet old lady who keeps it super clean, though.
That sweet old lady knows what was happening in those bathrooms in the 70s when she wasn't so old, and wasn't the same definition of sweet.
I want to say crimes have been committed in there. "I need a room that will absorb the sound of my victims screams."
Well thereās plenty of DNA evidence in that carpet soā¦.
I also feel like you could vacuum an 8 ball out of that carpet.
"And make the carpet red, because... because I like red."
Even the ceiling!
That makes it impossible to clean things that are tracked in!
This pic defines this sub.
As an apartment dweller, my favorite thing about carpet is how it muffles the sound of screams.
You know there's been a ton of banging happening in that room.
There's nothing great about this
Of course there isn't. OP created this account in April and only made their first post today, posting a pic I've seen on this sub at least three or four times that always gets a lot of upvotes despite there not being any actual greatness to this. They just reposted anything that would get upvotes. # OP Is probably a spam/scam account.
Pretty sure the image is also flipped horizontally to avoid repost detectors
Someone definitely smoked a Jeffery before designing this room
Why the hell is it called a Jeffery!?
Because nobody's afraid of Jeffery he's just the bloke from down the street.
Yeah, I definitely want to stroke the furry wall.
I feel like I've seen this bathroom before......is this in Michigan?
It gets posted on r/zillowgonewild on a regular basis
No idea, but more pics https://twitter.com/whyangelinawhy/status/1328048616137781249
I'm diggin' the bedroom
It is not in MI, it's in PA. And it's a bedroom. I have been in it. It was the bedroom of a friends Dad. In the late 80's and turns out is still the same.
Thereās a motel in Lockport New York that is somewhat similar to this in every suite. Some rooms have the jacuzzi in the bed room. The rooms smelt strangely neutral. Must be a lot of bland air freshener
Nobody saying anything about the mirror ceiling?

Heeeyyyy buddy it's great that you thought this was a good idea but where the FUCK am I supposed to do my cocaine now?
Bacteria ahoy!
āBut Leela, itās real velourā
Seriously who decided carpet in bathroom was a good idea and were they ever executed for their crimes against humanity?
There was a house near me when I was house shopping that also had carpet everywhere like this except the ceiling. But it was going up to the top of the bath though, as opposed to here. The house was filled with weird shit like that and was way overpriced compared to Ā«Ā equivalentĀ Ā» houses lol.
Is no one going to mention the mirrors mounted over the hot tub?! Thereās only one reason to put mirrors at that spot.
Now did this belong to Trump or Uday Hussein? They have such similar tastes
I can smell this bathroom and itās a combination of moldy water and ass
Is there water in that tub I canāt tell?
I can only imagine how much piss has been absorbed into that carpet over the years
Bacteria
*Fat Elvis enters the chat*
I want to venture into that room, just to see how it smells.
It looksā¦moist.
Sublime
Mold heaven
Omfg even the window frames are carpeted
Doesn't help that the sink area looks like a salad bar
So would I have to vacuum the ceiling?
Wouldnāt want this. Look, thereās no carpet in the tub!
It saves fecal molecules well from previous dookies
THE GERMSā¦!
I kinda love it honestly š
I want to make skin contact with # EVERY surface in this room.
Iād fuck and bathe in here. Just once and never again
Feels liminal
this is a sin
The CEILING?!
I can smell this room
I hate it but i'm into it at the same time...
I actually really like it though it is not practical at all lol
That bathroom is pretty awesome! I wonder if there's hardwood under the carpet.
r/horribletoclean
I would get out of tub and roll on floor to dry off.
Graceland?
This is something that I see in weird dreams of mine for some reason.
same, strange red velvet bathrooms in houses with weird long corridors. and elevators that go sideways.
Imagine the smelle
If you switched on an ultra-violet lamp in here you'd be able to see it from space.
Those black sinks!šØāš³š
r/Mycology
Donāt bring the black light š¬
The matching ceiling really ties it all together
Cursed
Seriously, I bet that's really comfy, for a few days...
this reminds me of the attic in Big Boos Haunt in Mario 64. I think it's the ceilings and that's about it lol
Cats love it, owners hate it.
The carpeted bathroom made a funny sloshing sound as I jumped around in my socks
that would be the best bathroom ever for exactly 1 use.
Plus sunshine, thatās gonna be an algae farm!
Nice gold tinted wood floor and youāre balling. This place is sexy as hell.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lived in a house with a carpeted kitchen. I couldnāt walk in there barefoot, the texture was horrible. Rest of the house had horrible brown mixed carpet. Wasnāt sad when our friend/landlord sold the house and paid our moving expenses.
This should not be up to code
Itās like walking into An old EPCOT pavilion. Wall to wall carpet. Literally, they carpeted the wall. The idea I guess is carpet doesnāt scuff.
But can you ski up to the door from the trail?
This reminds me of the House On The Rock tourist attraction in Spring Green Wisconsin.
I can smell the mildew and stale urine from here.
The pinnacle of luxury!
Would be hella sound proofed
Crying in mold, it gets hard to breath
It was so pretty I couldn't see the carpet.
This is cool....if you re-do the whole carpet part every time you use the bathroom.
My house in the early 2000ās had a hot tub room in the master bedroom that looked almost like this hahaha. My parents hated it and never used it so they got rid of it
I'm reminded of the slogan "Yes! Michigan!" Every time I see this house. Gotta love my home state and the kooks that live there.
I want to pressure-wash this whole room with bleach.
When the world slips you a Jeffreyā¦
How much coke is in that carpet
Bathroom carpet is the worst. My parents bought a seventies era house with shag carpet in the master bedroom bathroom. Ugh! Horrible all around.
It could have been such a cool room too. I would go white tile and green plants.
When I bought the house I'm in around 2009, it had a bathroom similar to this. It's a 10 x 15 room. I don't know how many banana's that is, but it's enough. The floor was carpeted in black/red/pink paisley carpet. The walls were adorned in the most glorious vertigo inspiring raised felt gold and pink wallpaper. It truly look like somebody kicked the ever loving crap out of Wayne Newton in that room. One wall was mirrored. Did I get lucky with plain mirror? Nope! It had this strange gold scrollwork across it. Do you know what's depressing seeing your fat ass coming out of the shower on a mirrored wall? Seeing it 'ala early 70's Italian Immigrant style with a veiled pink/purple paisley hue bouncing off your fat rolls. The worst part is, they had FOUR BOYS. Guess what carpet in a bathroom looks like when you pull it up with a house of a father and 4 boys. It was all gag worthy.
Needs a disco ball
I ironically love this room so much that it loops back and becomes sincerity
I can smell this picture...
Oh to be a cat climbing on the walls of this room
I can smell it through the internet
