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?

There are over 60k new cases every day abs you’re worried about your toilet rims enough to have someone in your house. Nice!

Thelnebriati · 06/01/2021 16:24

You need a good stiff toilet brush to get under the rim

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 06/01/2021 16:25

I clean my loo daily - I mean, I give it the once over with the loo brush etc. I still expect my cleaning to get in there too.

The rules specifically say cleaners can still work in your house.
If everyone stopped cleaners would lose their income.
I know on MN people think you should still pay but in reality most people won't. When stretched to our limits with wfh/home schooling etc adding more cleaning than usual to that list while still paying for it isn't appealing.

But yes OP just bung some bleach round

@TheSpottedZebra

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?

I don’t (usually) shit in my car.

@Toilenstripes

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

Yabu Clean your own dirty toilets you mucky mare
So do you clean the toilets at your workplace?

How are you holding up, OP? Thank you for sharing your brave tale with us all.

roarfeckingroarr · 06/01/2021 20:35

Why the snark?

The OP is paying someone to do a job. That person is not doing their job properly. OP wants advice about how to approach it.

I used to clean for a woman was a man, but had sex change, who used to leave big turds in the toilet, then stand there talking to me while I was trying to get rid of it as if it was nothing, I stopped getting rid of them in the end and would leave them there so next time they had to clean them out themselves

Haggertyjane · 06/01/2021 20:52

Maybe you're one of these MNers who don't have loo brushes?

No shame in having a cleaner, BUT I would never expect anyone to clean my toilet that’s beyond grim!

Why are you writing about this on MN rather than just asking your bloody cleaner to do what you want them to do FFS. You honestly MUST have something better to do, lockdown is not that dull.

PurpleFlower1983 · 06/01/2021 22:24

Give your rim a quick wipe weekly and it will save the build up.

Wheresmykimchi · 06/01/2021 22:37

@greeneyedlulu

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

Clean yer own bog!

Are you mad? Do you have a cleaner? Do they not clean your toilet?
OscarWildesCat · 06/01/2021 22:43

Grim. Just ask them? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Could have been worse - at least they weren't singing 'what have you done today to make you feel proud' throughout.

Can you get those little dentist mirrors online for use in a domestic setting? Wait until the cleaner is in the bathroom and then start 'examining' under the rim with it. Loudly say random things like "Turd occlusion at upper 16" and "Over-filling on lower 5" interspersed with sudden screams of "I want to see cavity, not depravity!!!"

Actupfishy · 06/01/2021 22:48

Yes I have a cleaner buy I’d not ask anyone to do a job I wouldn’t do myself and there’s no way I’d clean someone else’s shitty toilet.
