It's going to be tough to top the discussion about shower curtains Staging + Bathroom Listing Shot Advice but this is a practical question.

We shower in the morning and leave to go to work/school. There may or may not be showings during the day while I am gone. Where can I leave the damp towels and especially the bathmat? I am planning on hanging the towels on a hook on the back of the door. Someone will still see them when they close the door in order to open the linen closet but I am thinking that's ok, this is clearly an occupied home.

But I am stymied by the bathmat. I don't want to hang it with the towels because who wants their clean towels next to it (even with it being one of those hotel style heavy towel type mats)? Plus I think it's too heavy and would fall off a hook. Do I really need to take a clean bathmat every day and toss the used one into the laundry?

I would put a thick/thirsty towel over the bathmat to step on after taking a shower to keep it from getting wet, and subsequently put the wet towels in the dryer, thus the mat will stay dry and towels will be out of sight.

How wet does your bathmat get? No one would notice that mine was wet within 10 minutes of the shower.

as a buyer I could care less about things like wet towels or bathmats, really. When I am looking at the bathroom, I usually look at tiles condition, and overall condition of shower/ sinks/ toilet, and never pay attention on decors or towels...

I guess we are messy showerers, it gets pretty wet!

I used two bath mats. One we used went in the dryer or under the bed before showings and the new unused one went in the bathroom.

Why do you think P&G makes deodorant?

This is what I was thinking but it felt a bit crazy. But as long as I'm not the only one, sounds like the plan.

I'm just hoping that for a quick sale so I don't have to make myself nuts with this stuff for too long!

The main reason I used two was because I put fluffy white towels and mat for showings. We did not use the display towels or the mat so I never had to clean them just get all the used stuff out and in the dryer or couple times on short notice stuffed in a garbage bag under the bed lol.

I also knew I could use them later in guest bathrooms in my new house where they wouldn't get lots of traffic.

Do you step out to dry, or do you pull in a towel and stand in the shower to dry off most of your body and hair before stepping out?
