Rugs are fine you can easily wash those. I used to work for a carpet cleaning service in my college days and I have been in home where there is permanent carpet around the toliet and shower and 100% of the time it was gross. Even in houses were everything else was kept clean.

surprisingly steam doesn't really harm the carpets near the bathrooms. I have an archway to the master bath, and sometimes I forget to turn on the vent fan, and it'll steam up all the way to the closets. I guess it's mostly from splashing because people can't aim 
  
 also, rugs are pretty expensive to wash, I spend around $450 each a month to clean them, and around 3k for the one in the main living room
