Aibu to feel like the dirtiest person in the world

After reading this article??

People wash their towels EVERY day?! Even hotels don't do that! (If they can help it)

Pumpersnach

Do you sleep??

Do it everyday, put washing away immediately etc and it never builds up.

I cant put wet washing away! In winter I have a never ending mountain of washing to be done, drying, not quite dry stuff airing in cupboard to make room for the next load, and to be put away...its never fecking ending.

The dishcloths I do every day but the rest can go whistle. It gets done when I have the time. We are all still alive and kicking so thats good enough for me.

I work full-time and have 3 kids. I clean the loo every morning. I wash tea towels everyday, change everyone's beds once a week, regularly wash cushion covers etc. My house is tidy, it's genuinely not that difficult.

It's genuinely not that important though...

Bold fail!

I think tea towels need to be washed frequently.

If I have a heavy day cooking I can use 3 or 4. They get washed every day- but they are small and light and dry easily- it's not like washing a bath towel.

I don't wear pjs . One job saved

If it's any consolation I am disgustingly slatternly if this article is the criterion.

Such is life . . .

WTF are people doing with tea towels that they need washed every day?? Surely they are used to dry clean dishes? If you need to wash them everyday you aren’t doing the dishes properly.

I generally have about 5 of the damned things on the go at any one time as I can never find them when I need them so just get a fresh one out.

It's genuinely not that important though...
Exactly. My house is tidy but there is no way I am cleaning which ever of my WCs have been used that day.

I think we need to come into contact with bacteria to keep us healthy so stuff like this doesn't bother me at all.
I clean as and when I think stuff needs cleaning - generally not as often as that guide suggests I should and I think that is a good thing.

I use tea towels to dry things, to dry my hands,dry work surfaces. I use them instead of oven gloves, mop up small tare spillages, I dry salad leaves with them, I use them instead of kitchen roll.

OMG I thought I was clean but obviously not. How the fuck do people remember when they last washed the towels? And cleaned the loo, and cleaned the remote and washed Pjs?? For all the PP who said they do most of this - how do you manage it? Honestly how? I have a mountain of washing as it is??

I just keep on top of things.
We all have our own towels, they get washed every three showers/baths. I don't find it a struggle to keep on top of washing- and I do 10 loads a week.

Well done Pumpersnatch have a medal.

So there is half an ounce of skin cells on my sheets every week? So bloody what? there are a ton more on my actual body that are still in my bed every night and I walk around in them all the time!
I am a lazy cow I readily admit, I wash my tea towels and towels when they look dirty and clean my sheets when I can be bothered.
Do love my dishwasher tho.

Ideally, the fridge should be cleaned once a week with hot water and a mild disinfectant

Ha ha fucking ha. Who cleans their fridge once a week? I only clean mine when the rotten cabbage at the back starts talking to me

Goodness. I'm amazed that in this house we're not all dead yet going by that article! For those of us with no existing medical conditions, we really are doing our immune systems no favours by aiming for that level of complete sterility.

You do know the daily mail is a work of fiction don't you...

Loos are cleaned weekly.
Cushion covers twice a year
Tea towels weekly

I wouldn't take anything like this seriously anyway, but I can't get past the spelling mistake in the headline.

I only clean mine when the rotten cabbage at the back starts talking to me

The salad drawers are the only thing that gets cleaned 'regularly' in my fridge, the rest when I notice its getting manky

How many people use antibacterial gel? Apparently, if you don't put it on clean, hand-washed hands, it actually makes your hands more dirty as the alcohol (?)in them attracts dirt.

I'm a self certified slattern

Haha haha haha!

Hilarious article, and typical of the Fail. I don't know how my family have survived all of these years, but somehow they seem to have.

Who the fuck puts teddy bears in the dishwasher??? The mind boggles!

Thank god, a towel-washing thread at last.
Pleased to see so many people reading the Daily Mail

Even the idea of clicking on a daily hate mail link makes me feel grubby.
