To use their toilet when I’m cleaning?

[Hoohaahoo]

I’m a cleaner and often have very full days where I am going from house to house with no break.
I try to keep hydrated but this means I have to use my clients toilet sometimes. I try and use it and then clean it after.

Would you be annoyed by this? Would you want asking first?

I would have no issues whatsoever with my cleaner using the toilet.

If someone was waiting outside for me I'd have taken a 💩 instead.

Somanysocks my builder asked if he could use mine just before he left. I had given him a big mug of tea then he went outside in the cold
I told them the week before that they could use the outside one but only because it meant they didn’t have to take their boots off. It was quicker and easier for them.

But then I made them bacon butties and pies and told them to come in the warm kitchen ( you can leave your boots on) every day.😁

I would certainly be happy to let a cleaner ( if I had one ) use the facilities. I would hate anyone to be uncomfortable.

My cleaner doesn’t the whole house, then wees just before she leaves. She always uses the en suite loo.

I do find that a bit weird. Guests use the downstairs loo. Friends and family use the downstairs loo. Only DH and I use the en suite loo. I find it a weird breach of something, but I don’t know what. It also means that I never get to use my own freshly cleaned loo, burnt cleaning lady does.

But it’s never bothered me enough to give it more than a passing thought, once. If I were that bothered, I’d clean it myself.

I use the toilet when I'm at work. Seems like the same thing. 🤷

My cleaning lady does the whole house...

...but cleaning lady does.

I haven’t burned her at the stake

I think it's polite to warn them, if they're at home. But there shouldn't be a problem.

You'd think it would go without saying that someone working in the house should be free to use the facilities.

But then you read threads on MN where people are apoplectic with rage when a builder/plumber/whoever has dared to make use of a toilet.

Utterly bonkers.

I don't like it when builders use our toilet because several of them have left it in an unacceptable (ruddy duisgusting) state.

I wouldn't mind a bit if a cleaner used it. I would trust a cleaner to leave it in good condition.

I'm forever stuffing tea into my cleaner, I'd be horrified if she were holding it in!

I wouldn’t mind a jot. I’m always trying to make mine have a cold drink or a cup of tea or something but she won’t while she’s working. She’s lovely though and she’s a godsend. I hope she uses the loo if she needs it!

"What sort of weirdo would have a problem with their cleaner using their loo for it's designated purpose."

You must be new here.

I would encourage it - after all, everyone needs to use a toilet at their workplace at some stage, and this is no different.

Who are the 13 people who voted who would actually mind?

Surely it's a human right. I once had a tradesman ask me if he could use my loo, I felt bad that he even felt the need to ask!

Gosh I'd feel dreadful if my cleaner felt she couldn't do that

Would they rather you pissed in the kitchen sink or over the living room carpet/back door step?

I think if OP's client raises their eyebrows again, piss all over the fucking house and leave.

I’d rather you use my toilet than a bush behind my house. Can’t believe anyone would have an issue with this. Especially as you’d presumably clean it.

I think, if that happened to me, I might accidentally get overbooked (at the first opportunity) and have to drop that client.

YANBU

Winter I quite agree. I wish my cleaner would help herself to tea or coffee, I have offered, but she won’t.

If she needs the toilet, I’d expect her to use the en-suite, as the family toilet is close to my husbands office, she should have privacy!

A good cleaner is a godsend.

Of course not

It also means that I never get to use my own freshly cleaned loo, burnt cleaning lady does.

The horror. Can’t say I’ve ever cared about being the first to wee in a freshly cleaned loo.

If it bothers you just say you’re having some issues with the en-suite flush and ask her to use the downstate loo

Our cleaner is a queen. She could pee on our floor and I would be fine.

No! Of course not, I wouldn’t care if you used the loo, had sit down and a cup of tea or whatever. I can’t imagine anyone would deny you use of their loo.

The first thing ours always does is use the loo when she arrives, now I’m wondering if she can’t for some reason at the preceding job...
