"In summary, carpets installed in bathrooms tend to trap moisture, urine, and substances that can cause structural damage and health problems."
I tell people to clean the leaves off their roof because it can cause the shingles to rot. I even tell people that wall paper can become an area for moisture to be trapped in high humidity areas of a bathroom and can cause mold to grow. Good advise never hurt anyone, except someone wanting to sell the house or someone who make a sales commission. How about this for advise... Carpets in the bathrooms can trap moisture, urine, and substances that can lead to bacterial growth and fungi-mold issues, along with structural decay damage in wood floors. John McKenna, CMI
