Any time shampoo, conditioner, or body wash finds it way to the tub surface, it's best to carefully remove it and thoroughly rinse it away IMMEDIATELY before inadvertently planting a foot there. I took a spill some years ago and luckily escaped with a large bruise to the lower back. But it was a valuable learning experience!
