To judge someone on their toilet ?

[KeepOnKeepingOnAndOnAndOnAndOn]

I know I probably am...

I am no snob, but ...

Jesus Christ, what is it with folk and not cleaning their shitters?

I immediately lose alot of respect for someone who has a filthy toilet. Ok, so a one off fine. Esspecially of kids live there. But I have been to a few mates houses and their toilet is always filthy. I now cannot eat there and always equate them as being grotty :/ its awful, I know.

Am I abnormal? AIBU?

YANBU. In minging toilet scenarios, I am forced to hover wee. I invariably end up peeing on my own thigh/the seat/my shoes. I actually keep antibacterial wipes on top of the cisterns so that I can wipe around easily.

I think loo brushes are vile, but our loos are sparkling.

How would you clean poo stains otherwise?

Well how I clean them is: spray, leave for 15 or so mins then flush. Whatever is left, gloves on, big wad of loo roll and wipe, flush again, wash gloved hands and hang to dry over bath hand rails and wash hands. I also put bleach in my cistern every night so each flush has bleach (small amount but it makes me happy) in.

So do you have to dash in there in between users to check it?

Cleaned morning and evening here, but not after each use, and it always looks okay to me.

You loo is only as clean as it's last visitor surely?

Well ds1(8) knows to clean the rim/seat with a toilet wipe if necessary and ds2 (4) still needs help wiping his bum so i clean the toilet after him anyway. I'm the only other person here and tend not to leave 'marks'. Maybe it's just me but you can usually smell poo that has been left on the sides so know it needs cleaned.

Call me old-fashioned but I always tidy & clean for guests. I can't bear a dirty toilet so always make sure it's clean. I also hate man-piss and after men have visited and used my toilet I make DH clean it (his friends).

Morning and evening here but in between wipes sometimes necessary with dcs.

YANBU. I'd judge too.

I am an accomplished Slattern but even I keep a clean bathroom and toilet. If friends pop by I nipping to check the young DDs have flushed after their last visit.

YANBU. It's 2 minutes out of your day to bring joy and comfort to household inhabitants and guests.

Yes I would seriously judge someone for a scuzzy toilet, and someone who shat and walked away leaving skiddies. I clean for someone and the son always leaves his toilet shit spattered....I judge.

We live in a hard water area, yet we dont have scale in the loo

Sillybilly i commend you on your enthusiasm to keep your toilet clean... But why bother going to all that horrid and unecesarry hassle, may I ask? Cant you just use a toilet brush?

YANBU. Cleaning a toilet takes about 1 minute. Should be manageable for even the busiest of families.

There's a no excuse for a dirty toilet but skiddies don't bother me unless they're crusted on.. it's the minging rims and the gunk around the back.. you can always guess what the floor behind and the waste pipe is going to be like.. never mind the outside of the toilet and the foot.

There's no excuse for limescale either.. makes you wonder how many times a week it's getting done.

But I'm weird about toilets.

I am a bit of a loo snob. A bit of bleach chucked down is not good enough, you have to clean the whole thing inc the outside as boys splash around [boak]. I hate to see scrud caked on the screws on the lid or skids and I'm afraid I do judge especially when one friend has students and they pay her a fortune and her loo is disgusting - I would be embarrassed

It's infuriating if a house doesn't have a loo brush and my young DC poos and leaves marks that I can't clean as won't put my hand down someone elses loo and don't as a general rule carry gloves with me

I don't have a bin in my downstairs loo do in my upstairs one so not sure what visitors do if they need to dispose of sanpro etc - it's actually never occurred to me to have one downstairs - what do the rest of you think?

I hate the idea of toilet yuck sitting in the house when i can just flush it away. I know people say just store it in bleach but i have never once seen a clean toilet brush in a house (i was a cleaner as well so was in plenty of bathrooms) they always have remnants on them. And my 4yo would probably try and brush the dog with it

I dont understand why people use bleach anyway.. bleach doesn't clean anything.. it just kills germs and bleaches stuff

and why would a brush have stuff clagged to it? You use the blush in the flush after doing below the water line.. anything on it just gets flushed off.

As I said, weird about toilets

"and why would a brush have stuff clagged to it? You use the blush in the flush after doing below the water line.. anything on it just gets flushed off."

Well all the ones i've seen have crap on them. A toilet flush will never reach all parts of the brush.

In the spirit of the thread i've just inspected my toilet brushes and there's definitely nothing stuck to them.

Or maybe we don't produce especially sticky shits.

If you rinse the brush in the flush after use surely it rids of most poo remnants ?? Right?!

Anne- Get a downstairs bin too! I haven't, but I will ...

"If you rinse the brush in the flush after use surely it rids of most poo remnants ?? Right?! "

I dont know as i've never had one but the ones ive seen clearly arent doing it right as there was stuff on every single one. Even the ones in hotels.

I think toilet brushes are gross. But, I have one of those Clorox brushes with the disposable head in each of my bathrooms. They're nice, you pop the head on, scrub the toilet, then pop the head into the trash.

I live in house with four other people, and I've never seen (or left) "skid marks" in the bowl. Is it a water pressure issue? As in, maybe my toilets have a stronger flush? We do have those dual flush toilets, with a #1 flush and a #2 flush, IYSWIM.

I can forgive dust bunnies and all manner of mess but not a dirty toilet. It really stays in your mind. No-one ever confesses to having one though, who are all these people with dirty toilets?

The tall tower ... Thank-you! Were are you people? Come and explain yourselves , please?
