To think you should clean your loo for guests coming over?

[NatJon]

And guests you have never met before, too.

Went to a colleague's engagement party last night. Her house was being renovated so her friend offered to hold the party in her house. I have never met said friend before.

The rest of the house was lovely but the loo was filthy. Won't go into detail but it honestly looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months and the bathroom floor was sticky. Yuck.

This is coming from someone who is very laid back about housework. A bit of clutter/dust doesn't annoy me, but I always make sure my loo is clean when people come over.

Sorry if this has been done before

But AIBU?

Maybe the person who used it before you made a mess? If the rest of the house was clean and tidy is it possible that several people had used it before you?

Grumpy I had thought that too. But it really looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time.

I often lay out a red carpet and canapés too. What is the world coming to

YADNBU.

Mini me too, plus I have Michael Buble serenading my guests as they wee it's just common courtesy isn't it?

Thank you all :)

Well of course, I usually play Wagner at full volume too and sometimes I get DH to wear a bow tie and take their coats for them!

If you tried to serenade me with Michael Buble I would not think you courteous at all.

Of course its common courtesy but people who have dirty loos wouldn't think to clean ahead of guests. In the same way that people that have clean loos probably would think to do so. Its either on the radar or it isn't.

I do judge people on the state of their toilet tbh. It takes a couple of minutes to clean a toilet regularly.

But going off the threads on here a large lump of mumsnet are scruffy buggers who wouldn't care that people have to sit in their dribblets, have to wash the fecal matter from their hands while trying to figure out how to turn the tap off after washing and smell the stink off their dirty loo.

It seems very widespread

I have the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra playing and a butler proffering a tray with a variety of toilet tissues, moist wipes and sanitary protection.

Seriously my loo IS cleaned daily and smells fresh and bleachy all the time. I like it like that. The window being open is a bone of contention but I just reopen it when I find it closed.

YANBU.

It's odd the loo was filthy if the rest of the house was clean and tidy though. IME either the whole house (including loo) looks okay, or it's all a bit of a mess.

Ugh dribblets and fecal matter, that's put me right off my dinner !
As long as there was a basket off "guest" san-pro available then it is all good

Hi Grumpy old blond.

I like your username.

From a grumpy young (ish!!) blond.

Actually, am neither than grumpy not that young, and am only chemically blond (these days...).

Meant:

Am neither that grumpy nor that blond.

Autocorrect.

You can tell the difference between a clean loo that someone just got messy with, and a loo that hasn't seen a loo brush and a J cloth in weeks. No comparison.

It never ceases to amaze me what filthy, lazy gits some people are, and it amazes me even more that some of them are quite unfazed about letting guests use they minging loos.

Argh!

Meant: neither that grumpy nor that young, and am only chemically blond.

Good fuck I am tired.

Perhaps the lazy gits are not lazy at all and just don't want to be perceived as being boring old gits. Cleaning loos is boring. Although mine are clean. But maybe its just a matter of opinion, someone else might be horrified and then its best to announce very loudly and seemingly innocently "just can't get the staff these days" but seriously, people either prioritise cleaning loos or perhaps some other thing. So what.

I am very grumpy, fairly old and go naturally blonde every 6 weeks or so!
My lavatory, however, is immaculate

I am a filthy, lazy git and a sloven.

But the loo is one of the places I make sure is clean if guests expected.

I hadn't thought about the need for music though

yanbu - I cleaned my loos for a neighbour's first visit this morning even though the invitation to breakfast meant they were unlikely to use them.

Because of MILs dirty downstairs toilet, I refused to visit .
It was great. Never had to see her.

Well its so what whether you're bothered if guests to your home share that view. You wipe your arse.. ecoli can go through several sheets of toilet paper. Which is then put on the flush, then the taps. Not bother for ages means it gets put there time and time again. If people are happy and don't care that guests are touching their shit while making a face and thinking what a scruffy bugger then crack on really.

My daughters friend aged about 4 at the time came running crying and screaming from my bathroom once " aaaah its dirty aaaaggghhh!" mortified I went to check - it was the bright blue loo cleaner I had squirted around some time earlier. "I can assure you young lady - that loo is very clean indeed" said I

YANBU at all!

I know someone and have unfortunately had to use their loo on a couple of occasions. When i asked if i could she said to wait til she had made sure it was presentable then comes back down and gives me the go ahead. I honestly dont know what she does while in it to make it 'presentable' (in her opinion) but it must be disgusting before hand because each and every time ive gone in there has been no attempt to wipe round the loo (pubes, dried on wee, brown 'spray' around the rim and lots of streaks) no soap and no hand towel. Baffles me.
