How would you prevent fall/slip in the bathroom…
If your bathroom is tiled- Read this!!!
1. When your phone rings, never be in haste to pick up. No matter how important the call is, even if it is a million dollar worth of call. Let your phone ring, you can always call back.
2. Get a different type of tiles for your bathroom. Tilers can help you. Avoid smooth tiles. If what you have is a smooth tiles, change it ASAP!
3. Get bathroom slippers. There are slippers for bathroom. Not the random slippers you wear in your streets. These slippers are designed in such a way that when you step in them, it grips the floor.
4. Avoid raising one leg in the attempt of washing and scrubbing it. This particular one has sent many people to their early grave. If you need to scrub your legs, bend down with your legs gripped to the floor or sit in your bath tub to wash your legs.
5. Avoid your bathroom from getting wet at all times. For those who have their WATER-CLOSET combined with the shower/ bath tub. Don’t spill water everywhere in the name of bathing.
6. There is nothing so important in the world when you are in the bathroom. No running. Walk gently.
6. Get a towel. A towel same size just as the one you use in drying your body or even bigger. Place at the entrance of your bathroom. It is wise to always dry your feet before moving out to any other part of the house.
7. If you have kids below 7, never let them in the bathroom alone. As in, never!
8. Don’t take your phone in. Either you are bathing or you are not. Do not go in with your phone. Your Phone is a big distraction.
9. Wash your face separately. You must not have soap on your face while you are also washing other part of your body. Important to have your eyes open at all times.
10. Do not dance. Many are guilty of this. PLEASE STOP IT!
11. If you must sing, don’t sing religiously.
