OK it's not my toilet, it's the one in our en suite but it makes me irrationally stabby when I've cleaned it & does his usual come-in-from-work-and-sit-on-the-loo-with-the-laptop-for-an-hour Hmm I might even check for skid marks afterwards Grin

His feet leave lumps of sock fluff everywhere on the newly-vacuumed carpet as well Angry

What post-cleaning events drive you nuts?

Divorce. It's the only sensible answer to your dilemma. Grin

Never, ever, use a bristle loo brush. Imagine the germs. Always use those disposable stick cleaner thingies.

whenever I wash the kitchen floor it always rains and then it's covered with little muddy paw prints from our cats. Same with clean bedding.

So I don't bother to wash either the floor or the bedding very often.

Poo is the main reason why I would loathe an en-suite. I want a reasonable distance between me and any fecal odours, thanks very much. And DD and DH are veggie and their poos definitely smell different - mine are much nice Grin.

DH always has a shave after I've cleaned the bathroom. Leaving hair everywhere. Although he claims he doesn't. He does.

MrsCakesPremonition · 25/04/2014 16:09

As he is only in your home in his professional capacity as Husband, I would recommend sending him to the local supermarket to poo.

MeMyselfAnd1 · 25/04/2014 16:11

I think you should LTB, how on Earth is he going to live to keep up to your expectations?

.... Alternatively, teach him how to use the toilet brush and send him back straight to clean the toilet as sopn as you notice the mess.

Why is it when you follow a female into the bathroom after she has taken a dump it smells flowery and perfumery yet after us blokes it stinks, oh god it stinks!

My DP splaps teabags into my newly bleached and scrubbed white sink! He doesn't even let them drift down the side, he pelts them at top speed so there are splatters everywhere.

StickyProblem My mum used to do that.

[rage]

Particularly because she had a lovely stainless steel sink installed and when I was growing up she used to endlessly lecture me about scratching it.

LittleBairn · 25/04/2014 18:43

Ican I buy cheap brushes (usually have a few new ones ready to use but had run out that time) then throw them away after one wash because I just can't bare to have them in the house it makes me gag. The idea of poo particles clinging to the brush and keeping it.
I do know its totally mad and wish I could get over it but I just can't no matter how many talks I give myself.

neiljames77 · 25/04/2014 19:09

In his defence, he might not see that he's left any marks in the toilet because there's loads of foam in there from whatever little block has been left in the cistern or hung on the bowl. He can't be expected to wait until all the bubbles have gone. He might have important things to do. Smile

It appears that buying bog brushes by the dozen is the new way to spot a mumsnetter Grin.

terribly wasteful IMHO

MrsTerryPratchett · 26/04/2014 01:03

Please tell me all these bog brushes aren't plastic and will last a million years after using oil to make them. Please.

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 26/04/2014 01:08

They are made of cobwebs and unicorn hair, mrsTP...

lessonsintightropes · 26/04/2014 01:19

Genuinely - what the hell else is a loo for?!

MrsTerryPratchett · 26/04/2014 01:25

That's alright them, Doctrine. I understand unicorn hair is biodegradable and smells like jasmine.

HannahHorvath · 26/04/2014 01:26

Throwing away bog brushes after a single use? Are you actually being serious?

I'll just stop recycling, conserving energy etc now then.

How absolutely, ridiculously, stupidly selfish!

Grow up for crying out loud. Get clever with your cleaning and hygiene, instead of being so bloody lazy and clogging up the planet, just because your head can't cope with poo thoughts.

Can't wait to die. Just to stop sharing the planet with so many nobbers.

BOFster · 26/04/2014 01:30

I very much doubt that the so-called 'flushable' toilet brushes (well, pads) actually are, considering that sanpro and moist arse-wipes aren't. Horrible consequences for the plumbing. What's wrong with putting a normal brush to stand in a freshly-bleached loo?

VeryStressedMum · 26/04/2014 01:41

But extreme Hannah, you can't wait to die because someone throws a loo brush away Hmm

HannahHorvath · 26/04/2014 01:48

Yes it is rather, isn't it.

HannahHorvath · 26/04/2014 01:53

But then, it wasn't just a (single) loo brush was it?

And I was thinking about all the nobbers. Not just the loo brush ones.

Morloth · 26/04/2014 02:18

Wait, what?

People are throwing away actual plastic toilet brushes after one use?

How can anyone possibly get to the point where that seems like a good course of action?

We clean our toilets everyday, they are all always clean, a squirt of cleaning product (biodegradable obviously) a squish around with the brush, rinse the brush in the flush and then it goes into its holder which has bleach (which is changed once a week).

I would get through 21 brushes a week if I replaced each brush after every use.
