Not digging the “no carpeting” new trend

[jen7233]

Just did a split stay YC/CR. The YC didn't have carpet, loved it. The CR and more expensive room, had carpet, and it had a musty smell in the room. Allergies were more kicked up with the carpeting for me. I prefer no carpet.

I totally agree. Unless it's real wood floors, just leave the carpet there please!

Plus, I’ve never been a fan of baths. Sitting there in a warm stew of my own grime and dead skin cells? Blech.

Bath's are actually more hygenic than showers since showers don't clean all your body parts.

Especially in a bathtub that is used by a totally different family every couple of days.

Yup, I'm okay with real wood floors but not that fake chemically touched non climate friendly laminated vinyl.

What body part am I not cleaning in a shower, with a stream of clean water rinsing away soap and filth?

Baths use about 3x the water of a shower, so I’m saving the earth with every shower.

Unless you are doing hand stands while showering you aren't cleaning all your parts.

Nonsense.You don’t have hands? You’ve never used a washcloth? There are also shower heads that detach, you know. So you can hit all the nooks and crannies.

Okay? I’m pretty sure I get 100% of my body, even between my toes. And it gets rinsed. We have a rule with the kids, if they take a bath, they have to shower afterwards so they don’t smell like a wet dog. Their hair is never properly clean in a tub.
To each their own, though.

Still not as effective as a bath.

Ph neutral Hot water exposure actually does alot for cleaning, not to mention soap.

A couple wipes with a stinky towel is nowhere near as effective.

To be technical a bath then a quick shower would be the cleanest way but that would waste alot of water.

What are you smoking?

You can get just as clean with a bath as a shower. I don't ever get out of a shower without 100% of my body having been covered with soap suds, scrubbed clean with a shower pouf and/or my hands (in the nether regions), and thoroughly rinsed. I'm sorry no one ever taught you how to properly shower.

It's levels of cleanliness.

Same thing as the carpet vs laminated vinyl debate. Neither is perfectly clean since you have 1000s of people rotating through the same hotel room.

Do you "Bath only" peeps think taking a shower is standing still with arms at your sides? I don't expect the water to do the job alone. I am pretty active while showering. Lathering with a loofah or poof. The water is a rinsing agent not a cleaning agent. That is what the soap is for.

Do y'all shower before getting into the hot tubs? Probably not and neither do the hundreds that got in before you. I know, chemicals keep the water clean...hmmm. When we lived in Japan the tubs were deep and only used for soaking. You scrub down before getting in. Carry on...

The reason they do that in Japan is because the same family would use the same hot water in the tub for everyone. They wouldn't empty the tub and fill it with new water because that would cost too much in water and heating the water.

No, but I do take a bar of soap with me into the hot tub.

Don't forget to sing Happy Birthday while washing your hands.

Now that Disney allows more pet carpets no longer work.

Now I’m pretty sure that has happened everywhere, not just in Japan, when times have been tough. I’ve heard plenty of “old folks” tell those stores; thankful I’ve never lived it.
