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?

What is totally disgusting is when the once white bowl is a yucky scummy brown. UGGH

laqueen I cannot belive your inlaws dont even say anything about you cleaning their loo for them (out of necessity too!?) seriously, what planet are these people from...? How could you not be MORTIFiED?

sillybilly - what, what, what?? I am sorry, but I have no clue what you are on about with regards to towels and cloths and some for guests , some for me?!? Where do you find the time and energy !?!

Its just a basket of face cloths beside the sink. We use a facecloth for drying hands then drop it straight into wash basket. There is a hand towel for anyone who wants to use it. Its really no extra effort/time involved.

But doesn't that amount to a lot of extra washing? Sounds lovely and clean idea though :)

bochead with regards to the candle - do you leave it burning for a bit, then blow it out and the scent remains?

Not that i've noticed. Facecloths arent big and i was already changing the hand towel twice in the day which probably took up more space in the machine.

... I would freak out about having a candle burning all day neurotic about fires

You change the hand towel twice in one day? Why?

Because i hate going to dry my hands and finding a wet patch already on the towel.

Ah right.. Yes I remember you said in your earlier post :) well I am sure a visit to your loo is an absaloute delight! It sounds 5* to me :)

I do love it if i say so myself i only wish everybody else would go somewhere else and leave my bathroom just how i like it

I went and scrubbed all three of mibe after reading this, even thoigh they look clean Im seriously worried now.

We once stayed with friends for a weekend and their whole house, but particularly their bathroom was so disgusting we've never gone back. It was literally filthy. The bathroom was covered in pubic hair, urine stains down the front of the toilet (on the outside) and skid marks everywhere. It made me feel sick staying there. I was pretty surpassed since the wife is a nurse so you would think she had a good understanding of basic hygiene issues.

We now only ever see them when they come here or we see them en route to somewhere else so that we don't have to stay.

surprised not surpassed!

I find it tempting to squirt bleach down there if I find someone's toilet dirty.. and then stop myself in case they notice and feel bad that I noticed, IYSWIM

Have also ordered some Kilrock thanks to DrFunkes!

Is it just me? I'm finding this thread really regressive for women, who seem to be judged as the main culprits for not keeping their toilets clean.
I do a proper clean of ours once a week and use wipes or toilet brush in between for streaks or wee stains. But frankly it is not usually me who leaves it messy and now, much as I feared, if I fail to clean up after DCs, DH or guests even then I am being judged (rather harshly) from the comments on here.
I find that really depressing.

We have three loos and sometimes one is messy because a certain small child has not flushed...though they are both starting to get to grips with the loo brush nowadays. I wouldn't say I'd be mortified about it though. Shit happens!

The rankest toilet I've seen was when DH was sharing a flat with a mate. It needed a bomb. But I didn't judge him on it, clearly! I did tell him the loo was revolting though.

Jodie - I am eagerly awaiting my kilrock - will keep you all posted when it arrives :)

Sprite - so sorry, my post is genuinely not about demoralizing women - just messy folk, be it male or female. Infact, one of my friends in question is of the male species believe it or not ...

Perfectly normal.

Shall we post our before and after pics?

Yes!! Let's do this Jodie!

Well, at any given time my toilet is fucking disgusting, with all of the revolting features mentioned in this thread -so much so that I'm wondering if any of you are talking about me.
The reason for this is I am a lazy, disgusting slattern.
BUT if we're having visitors, my toilets are spotless. And I tidy up and clean as well! Who has a party/visitors/overnight guests and doesn't clean their toilet???

But Polly how can you cope with poop all over your toilet than you have to use? Does it not make you sick ? I would be heaving, literally!
