a carpet [...] meant for a bathroom
Yuck!

It's only in recent years that I've started to see bathrooms with lino
or tiles. All my parents' houses have had carpet (usually artificial
fibre on foam backing) in the bathroom, and several houses that we've
seen while house-hunting have had carpets.

As long as it doesn't get wet, and as long as there's a mat round the
washbasin and loo, and a mat for you to stand on when you get out of the
bath, then it's fine. Nicer than standing on cold lino or tiles. But not
as hygenic.


I once helped a friend strip out a bathroom in a house he had recently
purchased. A carpet had been fitted and the toilet then fitted on top of
it. The smell of stale urine was present before the toilet bowl was
released and when lifted off..........

Any fixed carpet anywhere near a loo is bad news.

Yes. If you get down close to clean around the bog it's remarkable where pee ends up. I can't imagine why but it often does. Maybe some people are just not housetrained.
