...to soak my feet in the washing up bowl

[Mexxi]

Obviously, the washing up would not be in there at the time. I could do with a nice d -stressing foot soak, but the only bowl I own is the washing up bowl. Should I?

I too have never understood the why of a washing up bowl - but given you do have a washing up bowl and you use it for washing up, OP, yes it does seem pretty gross to be soaking your feet in it.

I always do this! It's not like OP is asking if she can take a shit in it 😂

Maybe they have very grubby feet?

Surely anyone washing their feet is doing it because they are grubby.

OP said soak, not wash.

In that case I'm sure they're spotless

If you think of the raw meat etc that you put in your fridge then your feet are far more hygienic!

I wash the dog in my sink though which people probably think is gross.

I'd do it and probably would only give it a rinse after. It's my feet, not my arse.

I do this and just put the bowl in the dishwasher at a high setting to clean it. If you're really worried then maybe bleach it or put boiling water in it to clean it?

God some people on here are fucking ridiculous. They're only feet. Bits of old food are far mankier. I assume you haven't been wading in dog shit, OP?

Bleach after. It's fine.

my mother always gave us the cooking pots to Puke in

The weird thing is op that if you had asked about putting poo covered wellies in the dishwasher MN would be fine with it

I wouldn't.

I do however have a £ shop washing up bowl that was purchased for the sole purpose of soaking my feet. Does a good job too!

No wading through shit, I can assure you. I'm going to wait for Corrie, then put my trotters in the washing up bowl and enjoy

Yes, why not.

Trotters

Do it then bleach the bowl after! Many times have I done this!

Ofgs, of course soak your feet in the bowl.
The posters turning their noses up probably have snogged and/ or slept with strangers., shared body fluids etc.

It's threads like this that remind me why I don't like eating outside of home.

I did last summer when heavily pregnant but we have a dishwasher so it doesn't really get used for washing up.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

That's fucking gross!

Why would you DO that? Buy a separate bowl FFS.

To everyone who's grossed out by this... do you wash your hands after having a bath? Your feet were in there too, and your bum!

People's hands are usually more germy than their feet tbh

Gotta love the people mocking people who don't approve of it!

Very defensive.

I used to sometimes wash my babies in either the sink or the washing up bowl as many did. I suppose some would consider that gross too.

No, I have a shower after having a bath.
