to never bleach our door frames?

[DorothyL]

Just came across this on another thread.

So many questions.

I use dilute Zoflora as it makes the house smell nice and masks the smell of our rather old dog

And if you are a short arse like me the boesch could drip on your head while you do it, stretching up

Another who Zofloras them

I was going to comment on here about how I'd never bleached a door frame - until it just dawned on me that actually I did it all the time in my last kitchen as the doors were white and they kept getting smudges etc on them. Does that count?

Google seems to think it's to do with removing black mould, which seems fair (and is something I do!), but I use tea tree oil and white vinegar rather than bleach. Can I claim half a tick?

I now use Zoflora.

When I had a German Shepherd, I'd use bleach.

I like to do a deep clean, once a month, at least. My house, now isn't big, so i can do the door-frames/skirting boards/handrail, in the living-room hallway, up to the bedroom door/frames. When I had a bigger house, with a spindle staircase and long hall with a door to get to the front door, I'd just do a full clean in the hallway and front living-room, in one go. I had stair rods, so had them to polish, as well as the parts of the stairs that the carpets finished on. Think large Victorian terrace.

I use different cloths and mop heads, for in the kitchen and bathroom.

You could feel the clean as you walked around.

No I think that’s acceptable. That’s removing marks. But bleaching the frame? Can’t be marks on the frame that’s some wierd germ cleaning obsession.,

Thinking about this far too much

Ohmydayslove, I always used a ladder.

Why use different cloths and mop heads for kitchen/bathroom?

Bloody hell Birds you fancy cleaning my house you sound great

Bleach is not good for removing mould.

Ohmydayslove, I've never worried about germs. They just look nicer and once you clean to that level, the house doesn't feel clean, if you stop.

My DH had trained/worked as a Butcher and used to clean our Kitchen, to that standard. When he worked away and I didn't do it, you could feel/see the difference.

I've zofloraed one before -after i dropped a pack of passata and it splashed it-

Mr muscle black mound spray is good

Ahahaha - yes I saw that too 😂

And it was said so nonchalantly....you know...”just give the door frames a good bleaching while I’m out....” 😐

I’m still talking to DH about it - he asked if it was a euphemism too 😂

I always use different cloths and mop heads for kitchen and bathrooms too - doesn’t everyone 😮😷🤢

I feel proper fired up now and going to have a go tomorrow Birds unless you fancy coming over

Never bleached a doorframe, or indeed cleaned one in any way that I can recall. If I really rack my brains, perhaps before painting, maybe? Or at the end of a tenancy, I might have dusted off the top bit. What kind of dirty are they supposed to get?

What other stuff am I supposed to bleach? Other than the loo, I am a bleaching novice.

Also, what is zoflora?

sometimes go over the door handles, staircase handles and light switches with Dettol though

Me too when one of the kids has been sick

I have to admit I had to bleach our kitchen door frame the other day. I noticed a mark on it that rather embarrassingly has probably been there for years and wouldn't bloody well scrub off!

I do like to give the doors, skirting boards etc a good scrub every now and then. Probably couple of times a year.

No luisa do you? I feel like I am missing something. I just hsve cloths and one mop! I feel
Like a right grubby cow now

"Why use different cloths and mop heads for kitchen/bathroom?"

Bathroom has body fluids in it, so there's no chance of cross contamination. It's just infection control, as well, that I learned in the workplace.

I buy a handle from Wilkinsons and different coloured mop heads. I have different rubber gloves than what I wear to wash the kitchen/dishes.

Birds my German Shepherds give me a look if I use bleach.

Zoflora is in a little bottle. It’s concentrated cleaner and you add some to a bucket of water to clean. It’s not pure bleach

Funnily enough, I was thinking my bathroom door might need some extra attention. Bleach you say!?
