Obsessed with sponges and suds/scrubbing?

Ok so I'm not pregnant. Definitely not.

But I've recently had a thing about scrubbing and it's all I want to do. I love scrub daddie sponges! I love watching videos of this kind of thing. What's wrong with me? 🤣🤣🤣 it's so strange!! I have never looked forward to cleaning before but at the moment I really love it. It's really odd. 😂

The only time I had this was when I was pregnant! Are you 100% sure?

I think you should fulfil your scrubbing destiny babypleasenow! scrub daddy is amazing for scrubbing and getting rid of those pregnancy cravings!

I've been infertile for years!! Never once been pregnant. I've checked just incase but nope. I was wondering if this craving is linked to any other deficiencies or a sign of something else besides pregnancy really because it's super strange 😂

Well if you’re odd, I’m odd, because I love that sort of thing too. And also into watching people vacuuming and doing big mess tests ect… I’m not pregnant either lol

Just want to add I'm currently pregnant and have an obsession with sand, poor dh had to go a buy some sand and put it into a tray for me. It's something about the gritty dryness, I don't have a clue. No apparent issues with my recent blood results so I'm putting it down to a relaxing sensory thing.

Notaboutthebass · 11/01/2023 13:52

I'm assuming that when you say you've been infitile for years that you've had it medically confirmed?

Notaboutthebass · 11/01/2023 13:53

Sorry infertile.

justmindinmybiz · 11/01/2023 13:54

Can you share an example of 'scrubbing'? Never heard of it!

I love a good crime scene cleaning video on YouTube. Does that count?

Popsmum4 · 25/01/2023 18:19

Omg I'm so glad I've seen your post as I'm exactly the same. Scrub daddy Sponges and damp duster! Just want to clean everything also definitely not pregnant!

Nimbostratus100 · 25/01/2023 18:30

sunseaandme · 25/01/2023 18:39

I love those videos of people cleaning rugs with those big machines 😂

I am DEFINITELY not pregnant and EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY, OBSESSED with scrub daddy sponges, doing the dishes (since I discovered scrub daddy), scrubbing down the sink every time I'm done washing dishes (about 15 times a day.... yeah I have MAJOR OCD), and I'm also obsessed with cleaning chemical smells like (lysol, pinesol, fabuloso, Mr. Clean, etc)! 😳 I buy 4 to 5 scrub daddies a month! #TotallyObsessed #LoveScrubDaddySM

Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's so weird. I thought it maybe to do with iron deficiency but I've had that sorted and I'm still obsessed with scrubbing and I have a collection of scrub daddies and minky sponges also. I love it, the cleaning aisles in shops truly makes me so happy I have no idea why 😭
