I found puffy paint to wear off rather easy, here is what we do for our felted slippers, and they become non-slip PLUS waterproof on the bottom: We wrap ours (the parts we dont' want sprayed)in cheap plastic bag, then spray then with plasti-dip (we buy the spray rather than the paint on kind, works better)..lightly a few times. This works great for a few reason's. Lightly spraying leaves a texture on the bottom, aiding in slip-proof, and the plasti-dip is rubber, also making non-slip. We get the plasti-dip at Home Depot. I've only gotten it in black, but I figure it's on the bottom of a slipper, so who cares. They do sell other colors I guess, just on-line. Ace Hardware is suppose to carry also. One can does about 3-4 pairs of slippers depending on how many layers you put on, and how big the slippers are. DO IN WELL VENTILATED AREA!! Vickey-MN

Hi to everyone. I recently had a house fire and fortunately had great insurance, the whole house is to be re-done. Just yesterday, my GC asked me what kind of tub do I want... steel/porcelain or fiberglass. I opted for the steel. I was reading about the non slip surface and about how it recommended to clean with Bar Keepers Friend. Have any of you tried this? I was very excited to have the non-slip surface as the other tub was older and very slippery... but now I read how hard it is to keep clean. oh well. I say I'd rather not me or my elderly parents fall than have a sparkling tub. Of course, I'd rather both.... like the baking soda... I used to use that on the darker tile and hard water stains...baking soda and vinegar to be exact. Worked wonderfully. So - anyone try BarKeepers Friend?

My basket weave marble tiles have been installed (and in use) for almost three years with no particular maintenance problems or grout issues. My grout is kind of a light gray color that blends in with the Calacatta tile. I have dropped a few things on it and can't see any discoloration - if there is any, it just blends in with the grout. As I stated in my original post, I take reasonable precautions as I only keep cleaning stuff that is safe for marble (as well as my Toto toilet). My shower floor drains really well as I can literally see where it slopes around the drain and I have a great fan so that my bathroom isn't moist. My Panasonic Whisper fan turns on and off based on ambient humidity levels.

I cannot with door mat, but interested to hear what you think of Grande Petronas? Number of board variation for install? Issues? What like and do not like? I am trying to decide what to install and like sample board, but I read one post where post install they were j happy as lots of dark ends not seen on sample board.
