  • If you can't afford to replace the flooring, I suggest good non skid rugs to coordinate with your decor.

    SlipDoctors Stone Grip


    This substance meets the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Administrations guidelines for floor safety. After cleaning and drying the tiles, you can apply the treatment according to the directions, and then rinse it off. This formula is clear, and it won’t alter the appearance of your floor.


    Traction Kote 400


    Traction Kote 400 is an epoxy-based formula that is available in spray cans or gallon drums. When using spray cans, simply spray the substance on the tiles. When using the gallon drums, use a roller designed for epoxy-based solutions. Once the formula has dried on the tiles, the floor should be non-slip. Traction Kote 400 is also suitable for outdoors, and it comes in a range of colors, including clear.


    InvisaTread


    Just like the products above, InvisaTread is another option that will make your glazed tiles less slippery. Although the product is not a “non-slip coating,” it helps make your surface feel less slippery, especially when wet. This product is invisible when dry, and it doesn’t leave a sticky feel.

      Interesting, will need to try this. I use an indoor/outdoor rug. If you get spills you can take out side and wash it down, dry and replace it. Do the same in my laundry/mud room.
