... of that powder room and the bathroom and the bathtub. It's a very cheap investment considering that a slip and fall accident may easily result in a broken hip or some other serious musculoskeletal injuries to your body. A broken hip would be horrifically disabling, perhaps even permanently so to some degree, even with surgical intervention to repair it. Non-slip mats go along way towards prevention of such falls. Invest in them. You will not regret it.
