Is this true? Do some people actually...

DRY and POLISH their bathroom after they've cleaned it?!?

Chatting with my friend on the phone, I mentioned that I had been on fire this morning, making the most of snow day (woohoo!) to get tidied up before all of the snow fun begins. Whilst tidying I have cleaned all the bogs/bathroom and I'm very proud, as you can imagine.

Friend (or crazy friend, you decide) said 'oh, it's not the cleaning that bothers me so much, it's drying it afterwards'. Turns out she POLISHES her bathroom to a dry, spotless finish after cleaning! I explained to her that what she was doing was morally wrong and probably against god, but she was having none of it and called me a slattern.

AIBU??

You are all lightweights

I've just wiped over the sink with a PArazone wipe as a friend is coming over later.
I do clean my loo every day though. I can't stand dirty toilets and there is no need for it.

That's the one GingerbreadFolk! Genius

i sometimes polish the sink whilst sitting on the loo if it's a particularly stubborn poo

not the bath but the sink and fittings and sometimes the tiles. Stops marks. I use the old towels before they go in the wash too

When I say polish, I don't mean polish with polish iyswim!

Just a wipeover with a dry cloth.

Occasionallly.

gingerbreadfolk what an absolutely fantastic link!!

My parents polish their bathroom after each use, and every month or so, the shower enclosure doors have to be dismantled for a 'proper clean'. My Dad has learned over the years that it is best to just go along with this ritual. But growing-up, I can honestly say that having to spring clean the bathroom every day I had a bath, properly took the shine of a long relaxing soak, so my bathroom gets cleaned daily, but in a sort of haphazard 'it'll do', kind of a way.

Slightly off topic - but to those of you who were chambermaids - is it true that they clean the cups in the room with the a used towel, or worse, a bathmat too?

Someone told me this, but not sure if it's an urban myth.

But if you think about it, cups aren't removed from the hotel room, are they?

I always wash them when I go to a hotel room now.

It was certainly true of the hotle I worked in.

What joy that link provides! Many thanks gingerbreadfolk!

I can clean my bathroom really quickly.

No rinse anti-bac spray + microfibre cloth + bleach for loo - spray/wipe/spray/wipe/spray/wipe, bleach down toilet = done!

Mr Muscle shower shine is the stuff you need. We live in a virtually zero limescale area. So once every six months or so I scrub the tiles round the bath (overbath shower) with neat bleach and a scrubbing brush/toothbrush and then rinse off. After this, an occasional squirt of Mr Muscle keeps it all beautifully shiny.

I have a collection of small 'flannels' for sink/tap polishing - they're quarters of old terry squares!

After I've cleaned all the surfaces (not as often as I should do BTW), I give it a good dry/rub with a towel as it gets rid of any leftover dust and means its nice and dry so you can immediately put any toiletries straight back into place. I use kitchen roll to dry/polish the toilet surfaces.

I never thought I was being particularly fastidiousness. Mostly I just get frustrated by all the dust in the bathroom (where does it come from so quickly) so towel drying it helps.

rhapsody- I posted just that further up the thread it definitely is true from what I saw! And it wasn't after just wiping the bath.

Erm... yeah I do polish up the taps and basins...I think it makes a big difference. Oh, and I polish all the stainless steel in the kitchen. Shiniest house on the street mine! Whatever makes you happy!

"Isn't anybody worried about the chemical build up?"

Use Method or Ecover cleaners. They're a wee bit less chemicall-y iyswim.

I do. But I spent a lot of my 20s working in 5 star hotels so have a bit of a "spotless bathroom" fetish. I can't bear to see smears on tiles or mirrors and have a real fetish about sink pedestals and the u-bends of loos

In fact I clean, dry and polish the bathroom every day. We have a massive walk-in shower and I regularly descale that so there are no watermarks.

I am this anal in all my housekeeping though

And I do all of that with Ecloths, vinegar, water and elbow grease; the only chemical I use is limescale remover

And my bathroom is 10sq ft of tiles, white suite and glass ,

Cif and a sponge, very occasionally a toothbrush, once a week at the most, sorry just have better things to do than dry the bathroom.

I dry but don't polish it. That's just too far!

My bathroom is never more than 1 hour away from being used...5 of us in the house...someone is always waiting to bath or shower...

So if I dry the bloody room when I clean it within an hour it is not dry again!

Do you lot have sooooo many bathrooms that you have then on some sort of system so you don't use them for a few days after they have been cleaned??????

Oh my God - I am such a house keeping sluttern! How do you all find time to clean your bathrooms several times a week and work and have families?! I am clearly wasting far too much of my time on the internet and walking the dog! I do have a thing about cleaning the sink about once a week, but other than that, its about once a fortnight. As for hoovering and washing floors etc - about once a month if we are lucky.
