AIBU to be horrified shocked disgusted AND revolted by family on sofa?

[LauraMipsum]

Just got back from a trip to extended family and was HORRIFIED to find that they sit on their bottoms on the sofa, often with only one or two layers of material between skin and chair. PIL don't even wipe it down with anti bac wipes in between different people plonking their backsides down.

WIBU to stand for the entire visit of two weeks? My knees hurt and my face aches from scowling.

And she thinks I'm just a bit odd with Maui. I"be told her I'm not going unless she washes Maui at 95 degrees & leaves out the tea towels & aeroplane. She thinks a 3O degree wash with a squirt of Ariel gel is acceptable
My MIL is very difficult as she always remembers my birthday & takes my side if DH is being awkward. What's a DIL to do?

Just had a thought - how can one be certain that the various devices used for daily/hourly cleaning are, themselves, sufficiently hygenic in the first place? [worried]

You run a microbiological test in the little Cat 4 lab in the shed/annex/attic of course.

But, surely any grub identified in the test has then tarnished the testing implements ? Would an infinite series of autoclaves (starting with small county size going down to room size) in a sort of matrioshka doll type fitting work do you think?

You use a two way autoclave. One door for the dirty stuff and another on the opposite side for the clean stuff. (It's true, actually)

Same for incinerators, of course. Let's not forget about those.

I can't believe there are people on this thread who wash and then presumably reuse their Special Arse Towels.

I gave birth on my sofa. Midwife was obviously a mumsnetter as she managed to get a waterproof towel thingy between me and the upholstery like a ninja.

Hilarious Love it

Op would love to know whats inspired this. I had sofa dramas over festive period.

I use antibacterial wipes to wipe my antibacterial wipes.

More than clean and more than Monica clean.

^^ Love it

Lweiji - the perfect solution!

[Runs off to cost out autoclaves and incinerators (online, using a sanitised stylus to type ', obviously).]
