Cleaner not cleaning under the rim.

Just had a good look at our toilets and seen that all the way around the rims are revolting.
We have had the same cleaners for a long time.
AIBU to expect that they would do this as a matter of routine?

So talk to them rather than boring us with your dirty rims! Also should your cleaner even be in your house during lockdown??

Tempusfudgeit · 06/01/2021 14:56

Couldn't you give it a brush or a wipe as a matter of routine?

Lockdownlovernotfromliverpool · 06/01/2021 14:56

Legally you can have your cleaner op.. Just pop a bottle of bleach on the loo seat for next visit!! Things do get missed..

I make sure all the toilets in my house are clean before the cleaner arrives tbh.

I do my own because I don’t think another human should have to clean my shit.

Clean your own dirty toilets you mucky mare

FGS why is Mn so anti- having a cleaner? Is it class guilt? The need for women to woman correctly?

Youd not clean a car before taking it to the car wash, so why would you clean your house before a cleaner visits? And are any men really being told to clean before the cleaner comes?

Yeah. This.

And @Toilenstripes how are you managing to shit up under the rims?

WhatACrockOfShit · 06/01/2021 15:10

Good luck keeping a straight face whilst talking about your dirty rim
Please let us know how you get on

If that was aimed at me then I can assure you that I have no issues with people having cleaners, my mum was a cleaner, people needing cleaners is what put food on our table!

I have IBS and generally we are big shitters in our house. 🤷‍♀️

You should just mention this to your cleaner if you think she is amiss in her toilet rim duties.This is the only advice to give really!

I always clean my toilet before the cleaner comes. The rest of the house is fair game but I won't leave a dirty toilet.

2bazookas · 06/01/2021 16:05

OMG, the sky is falling, it's the end of the world...

ApolloandDaphne · 06/01/2021 16:07

Just get some bleach and give it a squirt under and around the rim. It will be sparkling in no time and with virtually no effort.

BashfulClam · 06/01/2021 16:14

Seriously? You want someone to clean up your dirty loo rims. Get a marigold on and do it yourself.

Tootsey11 · 06/01/2021 16:17

I wish I cleaned for some of you. As a cleaner I have been left to clean some of the vilest toilets. People leave toilets full of water and full of floating shit. Then there's shit stained seats and smeared down the sides. These are adult only houses.

Op, sometimes with cleaning, especially if there is lots to do, one thing can be missed. As a cleaner I try not miss a single thing, but nobody's perfect.

JustAnotherUserinParadise · 06/01/2021 16:17

Seriously people clean before the cleaner comes???
We have a cleaner and we always have a big tidy the night before, so that he can clean more effectively, but not actually clean!

Cinderellashoes · 06/01/2021 16:18

But you aren’t allowed to household mix at the moment so clean them yourself?

Or is your cleaner coming in and breaching lockdown rules?

oneglassandpuzzled · 06/01/2021 16:21

Cleaners are still legally allowed to work in people's homes.
