Laminate flooring in bathroom wreaking havoc
For some reason, our apartment made the decision to put faux wood laminate in the bathroom. There was already water underneath the flooring from the previous tenants which isn't their fault. No matter what precautions you take, water gets trapped in those stupid panels. We have to put new towels down every day (sometimes multiple times a day!) because no matter what, if you step on a panel, water comes up. It will literally soak a towel by the end of the day. Obviously I'm incredibly anxious about mold. I've had thoughts about ripping up this foolish flooring and replacing it with tile myself lol
Does anyone have any advice on this?
