Storing toilet cleaning bottles next to the loo?

[penguinsarecool]

Am i the only one who dislikes seeing an array of toilet cleaning and bleach bottles next to the loo or on top of the cistern when i go to someone else's house?

Dipan I think that about lots of things / people but it is totally not true for me. I don't have enough time to worry about putting them away but somehow manage to. I am someone who has a really tidy house but its not as clean as it could be ... or as well up kept. And there's lots of stuff rammed in cupboards out of sight whereas I would really like the cupboards to be tidy too.

If keeping a bottle of bleach next to each toilet in my house makes me an untidy slattern then I am guilty as charged.

I can't say it has ever even occurred to me to look at how other people store their toilet cleaner.

Madness! I wash my hand towel each day because we all use that, shower towels every few days.
Cleaning products- minimal on display, rest in cupboard... I say display, i mean they're sat there. I can't think what I've seen in friends houses, must be more vigilant

I only don't have it there in case DS messes with it, but otherwise that seems the best place.

At least these people are cleaning their toilets though. Tbh I don't care about seeing them if it means the toilet is reasonably clean when I use it. Wouldn't have loads next to my toilet but that's my preference I don't judge others for it

My feeling is that people with time to keep putting cleaning bottles away into designated cupboards and worrying whether their loos and kitchens look pretty really don't have enough to fill their lives.

Well, I suspect your life is pretty empty. So there.

Dipan that's really patronising, it takes no longer to bung it in the cupboard after using than to put it down by the loo

Yuk to cleaning your poo away with a toilet brush and not using some bleach with it. I'm not getting near that toilet brush any time soon!

I know that at least one person has mentioned this, but I keep my cleaning products in the highest cupboard possible. I am friends with a speech and language therapist who has treated multiple children in Great Ormand Street Hospital who have swallowed bleach and burnt away their oesophagus. It frightens me how many people store such things at a child's level. If you have small children in or visiting your house (and those under ten who might have read George's Marvellous Medicine), please consider moving cleaning products to a high up place.

I believe George found the ingredients for his medicine in high up cupboards. At least before you decant your bleach into pretty containers, it has a safety cap on it. Although, more seriously, yes, cleaning products should be kept out of reach of small children.
