Mount your shower head correctly. Reduce the need for a hand-held shower head (a lost grip can result in a freaky water show) with a shower head mounted in just the right spot. Make sure the tallest person in the household can comfortably stand underneath. Choose one with adjustable water flow for easier control.

Tuck the shower liner inside the bathtub. Water can easily slip over the tub rim and onto the floor when there's no shower liner to stop it. Replace lightweight shower liners (that blow away easily) with heavy-duty liners with suction cups.

Get an extra-long shower curtain. You can raise extra-long shower curtains higher so that less water will come over the top of the curtain. The standard shower curtain length is 72 inches, so look for a curtain that's a few inches longer than that.

Watch the water when preparing for a bath. When it's bath time, it's also time to stop multitasking in other parts of the house. Stop the water when the tub is about three-fourths full.

5
Allow room for you. When filling the tub, be sure to allow room for your body mass. Many a splish and often a splash occur when the water rises over the rim after a person creeps into its territory.

Take extra measures for kids. Children often think bath time is a water sport invented especially for them. Add towels between the bath rug and the base of the tub and thoroughly instruct them on the perils of water on the floor.
