Really boring question. How do you clean pubes off your bathroom floor?

I’ve moved into a house with a white tiled bathroom floor. When a stray pube is released from its follicle it stands out like well a pube.

Currently I’m using spray and kitchen towel to mop up the short and curlies.

What do you use?

Hoover. We get some dog hair too which is the same colour and reassuring as you can’t tell which is which

FizzyPink · 27/03/2021 14:42

The hoover?

Sparklingbrook · 27/03/2021 14:42

I don't have a pubes on the bathroom floor problem. Confused

BluntlySpoken · 27/03/2021 14:43

Hoover? Just pick it up and wash hands? I mean it's a pube not a pile of dog shit.

Makes a change from 'what do you do with your pubes while they are still attached to you' threads I suppose.

It’s not a huge problem like there are hundreds and hundreds. But when I’m cleaning the bathroom floor I feel like I’m just pushing the bloody things around.

Hairy teenage sons = this problem. Dustpan and brush then flush down the loo.

LaBellina · 27/03/2021 14:46

Just shave ‘em. Problem solved.

Why are you not vaccuming first? In between just pick it up and put it in the loo?
Deedeedocket · 27/03/2021 15:03

I don’t hoover the tiles. Blush I’ve never hoovered tiles. I clean them all with a spray and kitchen towel.

Surely it's normal to clean hard floors by hoovering/sweeping first and then mopping?! You can't pick stuff up with a mop...

TweeterandtheMonkeyman · 27/03/2021 15:08

Oh gosh I always vacuum the tiles , they get fluff, dust , hair , all sorts of stuff on them. Then just a wipe over with a floor wipe.

Very rarely see a pube I have to say ! 😂

Potpourriandpennysweets · 27/03/2021 15:09

I use a cloth and spray cleaner, I start in one corner and push any little bits on the floor as I go, making sure to regularly rinse the cloth in a basin of warm water. At the end you get a little pile which I fold up in the cloth and shake out into the bin, then I wash the cloth. No need to sweep, hoover or mop. I do like to put my mop socks on and give it a buff though. It's my favourite way to clean a floor and I do the same in the kitchen sometimes, although the floors bigger so it takes a long time which is why I use the sweep, then hoover, then mop method. But I find that nothing works quite as well as a cloth and/or brush on your hands and knees.

Hand held vacuum.
The amount of the fuckers on my floor, you’d think dh was a walking pube bush.

Stichintime · 27/03/2021 15:10

Hoover, mop, hoover. That should get rid of the buggers.

PregnantGotCovid · 27/03/2021 15:10

I Hoover them.

dividedwefall · 27/03/2021 15:11

I used to have this problem. Getting a divorce appears to have completely solved the problem!

Seriously though, I have long hair that ends up all over the floor and the only solution is to hoover before I mop.

Aquamarine1029 · 27/03/2021 15:12

A tile floor is just like any other floor. Of course you hoover it.

SylHellais · 27/03/2021 15:13

Jesus Christ.

Juliesipadwillcallyouback · 27/03/2021 15:13

We have this problem as we have horrible cheap matt white tiles in our ensuite bathroom and every fucking pube and hair that has fallen on the floor after DH shaving at the sink stands out like a beacon on them, there is nowhere for them to hide!

Hoover is the only was I'm afraid, but I have always hoovered my bathroom before mopping anyway?

TheVanguardSix · 27/03/2021 15:15

Not a crazy question at all, OP and I will happily answer it!

I use a Leifheit clean and away dusting mop to which I attach Leifheit magnetic cloths (disposable). It's amazing! I then chuck the filthy magnetic cloth in the bin and attach a Dettol floor wipe to the Leifheit clean and away mop head and voila! Hairs are gone AND my floor's clean. I keep it in the bathroom at all times, along with the magnetic wipes and Dettol floor wipes so I can just grab it/them any time. I use magnetic wipes daily. We're a hairy family.

Haha.

This is genuinely not something that I have ever thought about OP.

MrsTophamHat · 27/03/2021 15:16

You are making work for yourself if youre not vacuuming/sweeping your hard floors before cleaning with any kind of liquid. Clear the debris and corners, then apply the cleaner otherwise you will just chase the crap around.
