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?

Where

Steff- i think shape of the toilet and also bum position has something to do with it. I know my 4 yo sits quite far forward on the loo whereas my big ass is further back.

Hmm, that does make sense.

I don't have a traditional loo brush as such, I use the fresh brush handle with the flushable pads. I have one in each toilet with a pack of the pads and a pack of baby wipes, so can do a very quick wipe n scrub at short notice (or for guests to clean up if needed, tho I've never noticed anyone doing so). Probably highly environmentally unfriendly but I can't stand the smell of trad loo brushes. And yes they do smell.

Yanbu!! My PILs toilet constantly looks like a shit explosion has taken place. As far as I am concerned, squirting on a bit of loo cleaner does not equate to cleaning the toilet!

What's a trad loo brush? (Sorry)

aye of zoflora

There is no such thing as flushable pads.. just like there is no such thing as flushable tampons/pads.

I'm 60 and can safely say that I have never seen a dirty toilet when visiting family and friends. We're all working class with a fair share of kids between us. I don't care how people clean their loos < boak for bog brushes though > It 's not rocket science is it. Go to loo ... Flush... any residue ? ... Wipe with loo roll ... flush again . Put bleach down at night and twice a week put the Marigolds on and scrub.

YANBU.

I make sure my kidneys are well wrung out before visiting one particular friend and I never have a cuppa there to ward off emergency visits.

Although the state of her mugs is a whole nother issue in itself...

Maras... Funny you mention the class thing. I am from a working class background and cleanliness is of vital importance - so is being house proud. When I visit some of my middle class mates i do notice it tends to be theirs that are no clean ...

My mum always says its because we feel like we have something to prove , whereas middle/ upper classes would be more relaxed ... I dunno?

the flushable pads are flushable though gamerchick, by the time you have given the pan a good scrub they start falling into little bits of tissue.

I used to buy cheap loo brushes and replace every 6 months, but I quite like the disposable ones now, so do both.

I have known MIL 18 years and I swaer she still has the same loo brush she has always had!

By the way i use the bloo toilet tablets that you pop in te cistern - they flush a lovely cleaning soapy flush :)
I love them!

I am so, so sad ...

Keeponkeeping ,I think that your mum talks a lot of sense . :)

Although my house is dusty my loo is always clean. Bog standard

ah right phanto i'll let you off then

That is rank if people have bits of poo on their loo brush. You should rinse it out with every flush after you've cleaned and fill the holder with soap/bleach for it to sit in and change that every time you wash plus replace the brush every few months. I judge on toilets. Fresh skids not so much as 4 year old ds often does a poo, doesn't tell me till I find poo on the loo but that dried in shit and wee is just gross!

Your lucky between my 5 year old and two year old, there is often a little pressie left bobbing in the toilet (blahhhh)

"To be fair me cleaning the loo seems to set off DH's bowels so I can clean it and if we have visitors before I check the upstairs toilet there may be skidders I have no knowledge of,"

Does he not clean his own shit up then?

Or if he can't, why doesn't he at least tell you that you need to?

If dh didnt clean his own shit up... Well, he would be dh no more... Sbxh he would most certainly becomest methinks !

Imagine feeling sick in a rank toilet house, rushing to the lav to be sick then having to stick your head anywhere near a pee/poo filth fest. I couldn't.

THIS is why my toilets are lovely and clean, so you could vomit and not feel even more sick whilst doing so.

Haha, CheapBread-my sentiment exactly!

I imagine I am the only one to picture the op making judgements (YOU'RE GUILTY!), whilst sitting on their toilet.

Do you know i think this might be why i'm so fussy about my toilet. I was sick in school once as a teen and the toilets were rank. I had to kneel on the floor and couldnt avoid touching the loo. I felt worse just for that. Maybe that is what makes me so over zealous now.

How do you get rid of the limescale? I bleach and scrub and put toilet cleaner down there but it won't go

I am feeling green just reading this thread.

I have been known to actually throw up at the smell/sight of a grubby loo, just writing this is making me want to hurl. I very rarely use public loos unless I am desperate.

I just can't understand why people don't clean their toilets every day (mine gets done twice a day). There are 2 boys and a grown man who all have problems with their aim in this house.
