AIBU to wonder what you do with the cleaning cloths? Surely you can't wash them everyday but then don't they sit around and fester throughout the week?

The only thing I do every day is put a bit of bleach down the loo before I go to bed, or if it needs it during the day.

Clean ? Why ? Wink

I dry the chrome bits of the shower after every use in an attempt to stop it getting covered in scale which I then have to get off with viakal which eats the chrome. But I just have a towel for that which goes back on the towel rail and then gets washed if I have a load that could fit something extra in. So maybe once a month?

I did my first ever wash at 60 today when I realised that my painting mat must have been sat on some cat poo in the garden. Had never bothered before but I figured it could clean out the pipes of the washer at the same time. Not convinced the detergent came out as well as it does on 40/30 though.

Cleaning every day? Oh dear. I only clean once a week.

Once a week? That's luxury. Round here we clean once a month. And we have to sleep in a hole in the road.

Shower spray and a squeegee thing, no cloth involved daily, just once a week.

All this cleaning and washing makes me feel quite faint. I have a scabby sponge which I use with cif about once a week on the basin and do the loo with brush, oh the horrors, bleach and loo roll.

I had no idea about microfibre clothes were bad for the environment BlushSad

I use a Karcher on the shower. Have a cloth for the sink which hangs discreetly on the towel rail. Gets washed with he towels. Toilet seat get a cleaned with spray and loo roll. To the poster that moaned about paper wastage, 2/3 squares a day surely isn't that bad?!?!

What fresh hell is this thread? Who are these neaty cleany dettolly folk?

AllToadsLeadToHome · 20/09/2017 23:30

I use toilet paper to clean the toilet, and flush it. Also use it around the cistern to remove dust etc.

Bath and shower are cleaned with bathroom cleaning sponges which are rinsed and left to dry. Shower doors are sprayed with a shower spray thing to stop water marks.

@MickeyLuv

Well there's 3 sets of bedding to be done each morning (mine in one load and the kids in another as I use different powders and fabric softeners) then sometimes enough to do a dark/colour/white/baby wash as well

Tazerface · 21/09/2017 10:16

You don't seriously wash bedding daily do you? I guess if kids are wetting the bed I can understand it but surely you aren't?

FlamingoFlower · 21/09/2017 10:43

I've got one of those e-cloth things so I just wipe everything down with the cloth, rinse it in the sink and then hang on the towel radiator to dry. When I do a wash I will throw them in but I certainly don't wash them after every use...

alohaimnew · 21/09/2017 10:58

what?! people clean their bathrooms after every use?! How and where do you find the time?! I am in awe. and feel slightly lazy now as i clean once a week

ProseccoMamam · 21/09/2017 12:03

@Tazerface yes I wash all bedding daily. I don't want to get into bed at night into quilts covered in bacteria, dead skin cells and sweat. I also wash the mattresses weekly, for the same reasons

Anatidae · 21/09/2017 12:42

How do you wash the mattresses?

ProseccoMamam · 21/09/2017 12:49

@Anatidae I use the mattress attachment from my carpet cleaner

Anatidae · 21/09/2017 12:55

Ok! Had his bizarre image of you putting it in the washer for some reason :)

I love clean sheets, I'd have mine daily if I could. Alas work and general business mean 1-2x a week. Ds had his changed daily when he was ill last week.
