Our kitchen floor is very slippery. We are afraid that Mom might slip on it. We don’t want to carpet it. Is there another solution?

If replacing the flooring is an option I would head to Lowe’s and look into flooring that is designed specifically for the kitchen/bathroom. Explain your concerns to the sales person and if they don’t know, place a piece of the flooring on the ground, dampen it and step on it and just test it to see how slippery it is.
Get mom those non-slip crepe sole type shoes. If you are allergic to peanuts, you just don’t eat peanut – you don’t outlaw peanuts altogether.
Of course there is another solution, buy new tail for the kitchen floor that’s no slippery, but a little smooth & ruff at the same time.
