Anyone use one in their bathroom?

They look rather 'cool', but I must admit, I don't get it. Aren't they uncomfortable to stand on?

I'd love to look 'cool'.........

PS I want to add a Tumbletwist cover to the toilet lid. The only thing stopping me? They don't seem to sell them any more. What buggers.

Mind you we've never had a carpeted bathroom. Lino or wood.

Don't have a carpeted bathroom either.

Don't like rubber-backed bath mats.

Mine doesn't get smelly either.

Actually, mine is so old it isn't rubber backed, but I think many new ones are.

Anyway this is a stupid thread. If you don't want a duckboard don't get a duckboard. I really couldn't give a damn about duckboards, bath mats or where you hang them or when you wash them. I'm off to do something less boring.

So there! Sticks to tongue out in childish gesture and waggles fingers in ears.

don't you?

Tantalised! tbugrin

Maybe it was!

Must be boredom, am now killing time before DS gets back from uni for Easter, this afternoon. Duckboards now seem thoroughly riveting.

Re washing them every day - DS has had a long battle with fungal infections, from doing a lot of sport in smelly trainers. Hence trying out duckboards.

I've got a cork mat in the bathroom [very 1970's blush]. Doesn't slip; when not in use it lives behind the sink [very well behaved]. Not sure what it's like bacteria wise though hmm.

Rubber ducks are wonderful, especially yellow ones drifting on ocean currents.

Duckboards sound good but cleaning them I would think is a pain. I imagine them to be like the wooden draining boards around butler sinks which used to get grotty. I wouldn't have one of those either and as for a tumble twist toilet seat, I would ask 'Why?'
