Quick Home Safety Tips

Quick Home Safety Tips

Bathroom safety is important for all of us, not just the elderly or disabled. Here are some inexpensive and effective ways to make your bathroom safer!

1?? First up: The shower. I highly recommend using a bath mat in the shower area with an anti-slip surface. But beware of those suction cup mats - they tend to get moldy and slippery themselves! Instead, check out this amazing loofah mat that is comfortable safe and dries quickly.

2?? Another essential safety item is a nightlight. In the middle of the night, it's crucial to have proper lighting so you can navigate safely. I love nightlights with motion detectors and brightness adjustments like this one:

3?? Now let's talk about grab bars. Having grab bars installed in your bathroom provides extra support and stability when needed most. Trust me, it could save you from ending up in the hospital.

4?? Lastly, have you heard about tub cuts? If you're thinking about converting your tub into a shower but don't want to break the bank with those one-day bath companies', we've got an incredible solution as Maryland's only licensed, certified installer and dealer for the TubcuT - and it's reversible.

FYI - DON'T fall prey to the tricky sales gimmicks of one-day shower conversions....They are expensive and frankly cheap-looking with panels instead of real tile. Your future home buyers will notice that too.
