And leave to dry in the heat :thumb: it will smudge, causing water effect

soggy carpet isnt a good look :p
RMA26 19 October 2006, 12:53 Have you looked online SS?
TelBoy 19 October 2006, 12:54 Do you specifically need it to be a vinyl/lino, Sara? I can point you in the direction of very high gloss non slip floor coverings, but they don't come on a roll. :)

Used to me a rumour of a guy who worked at Standard Life who was called Mr I P Sqwint
Presume his bathroom suffered from the same :D

But how about a floor "treatment", ie something you apply directly *to* the floor, is that ok or do you specifically need it to have floor-covering qualities?

Thats why you should make sure you dry properly after a shower :p
or shave

i dont like the floor i have so i want a nice shiny new one. ive seen two in B&Q but they are dark patterened ones. i want a light colour but cant find any wnywhere:(
mr & mrs carlos uk300 19 October 2006, 16:30 Hi ss, i have black granite tiles with silver quartz bits in in my bathroom, looks the business but quite expensive, but will also last for years. :)
richardg 19 October 2006, 16:31 we use a metallic appearance vinyl in new homes - "Nairn Cushionflor Futura"
not quite "wet look", but some of them are fairly high gloss
Shark Man 19 October 2006, 16:43 Baby oil will gives a good wet look :)

bit slippy :p
the glossy look flooring is pretty new. the gloss is non stick and makes the floor look highly polished. i saw some in a bathroom but i can remember who's house it was in:(
jjones 19 October 2006, 17:18 Have you tried varnishing your carpets?
best idea yet
sarasquares 19 October 2006, 18:09 men dont have good ideas :D
speye91 19 October 2006, 18:33 Step 1, Chop both your legs off.
Step2, Drop Knickers(if not Commando already)
Step3, Drag yourself afound the floor(like a farmer ploughing the fields)
Bingo, snail trail flooring that has the wet look.
