NEW SUCTION BATH ACCESSORIES FROM MOEN HOME CARE
ADD CONVENIENCE IN THE SHOWER
Oakville, Ontario…With many Canadians currently fulfilling the "caregiver" role in some capacity, home safety – and particularly bath safety – has become an important topic. Fortunately, Moen Home Care, a leader in bath safety, continues to offer innovative solutions, such as the new Suction Bath Accessories, to easily incorporate convenience in the bathtub and shower – without adding a permanent fixture.
New Suction Bath Accessories – including a Shower Holder and Soap Dish – offer an innovative solution to keep bath essentials at your fingertips. The Suction Shower Holder allows for convenient placement of most handheld showers – anywhere on the shower/tub wall; while the newSuction Soap Dish is perfect for keeping bath necessities, such as soap and loofahs, within arms’ reach.
“Aging adults, those recovering from an injury, or young children often need to maintain a seated position while bathing,” said Lorenzo Sciarra, accessories and specialties manager, Moen Canada. “Unfortunately, necessities, such as showerheads or soap, are often located at a higher level and out of reach. The new Suction Accessories provide an extra level of convenience and keep items close at hand – removing the need to stand or reach, which can lead to falls.”
In addition to the functional benefits, the new accessories offer tool-free, easy installation – an important feature, since research shows that more than half of homeowners using bath safety items (57 percent) claimed that they installed bath safety products themselves**. The Suction Accessories simply attach directly to the shower surround or tile (4-inch x 4-inch tile or larger required; tile must be larger than the 3-inch diameter of the suction cup).
Both products are affordably priced and available in a clean, white finish to complement any bathroom décor and offer a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
