Rug in downstairs toilet?

[Purpleavocado]

Would you consider it odd to have a rug in a downstairs loo? The loo is next to the front door, with a cold tiled floor. I don't mean a pedestal mat, just a small mat between the toilet and the sink.
We did have one in there, DH threw up in there today (food poisoning), so I washed the rug, but it's impossible to spin out as it's so heavy. I am tempted to chuck it and don't know whether to replace with something thinner.

No different than having a bath mat in my opinion...

You can get some really rug-like bath mats too so it won't look too much like a bath mat but fit for purpose for the area...

Ruggable have just stared doing bath mats, sounds like it would work well in your space!

I have one because the sink is small and the floor easily gets splashed, they are dark matte ceramic tiles. I feel it makes it warmer and it stops the tiles getting marked with water marks and looking bad.
my machine would struggle to spin it on its own as it couldn’t ‘balance’ so I’d try adding a couple of towels or similar.

otherwise I would chuck it as it’s likely to smell musty if it takes days to dry…
if it was summer it would be a different issue it could bake dry in the sun!

Hope your dh is ok btw

Thanks! He's pretty much back to normal. The rug has been binned so I'm on the lookout for a new one.
