MUMSNET JURY: SAME CLOTH FOR CLEANING KITCHEN AS FOR TOILET, OR DIFFERENT?

[QuintessentialShadow]

Would you take a new fresh cloth for cleaning your kitchen surfaces, or would you use the same cloth as you just cleaned your toilet with??

are you completely MAD, my dear?

Go make a nice cup of tea and have a lie down

Fresh cloth every time - ones for cleaning the toilet, stay in the toilet/bathroom, and only get used there. Plus I wouldn't use a cloth that had actually been used to clean the toilet (as opposed to the basin/bath/windowsill in the bathroom) to clean anything else.

fucking hell

is this question for real?

I think not.

One cloth for the toilet and it stays in there. totally seperate ones for the kitchen.

That is common sense, not?

do you know someone who does this thing?

i have a bathroom cloth (for sink etc)

i clean the toilet with throwaway stuff

we have seperate cloths for bathroom

I just love the idea of smearing poo and wee all over my kitchen surfaces.

are you sure you really need to ask this question?

how do you manage the rest of your life?

Clean one obviously QS, why whose doing it? dish the dirt

So c'mon tell us who has suggested to you that this is normal? Because this would not normally need to go to a mumsnet jury situation.

I just noticed that my cleaner used the same cloth for cleaning my kitchen surfaces with as she just cleaned the toilet with.

Totally shocked, I just gave her a handful of clean cloths and said "Here, have more cloths, I just noticed you use the same cloth for the kitchen as you just cleaned the loo with."

I probably did not handle that correctly. Should I have a word with her agency?

She gets new clean cloths each time, as I wash them daily. I never thought I had to tell her not to use the same cloth for the rest of the house as she use in the loo.

Good god, need you ask?!? Does someone you know do this?

I don't even clean the bathroom sink an bath with the same cloth as the toilet, the toilet cloth gets used once and then put in the wash.

Eeuuww. Not good.

That's bad.

Buy different coloured cloths to make it even easier. Red ones for the bathroom and blue for the kitchen. Or even red ones for toilet, yellow for rest of bathroom and blue for kitchen.

That's what I'd do.

aaaaaarrrghhhhhh

you paid for someone to rub poopoo and weewee germs all over kitchen

yes - have word with agency

it's not just an icky thought, it's a serious health hazard

Definately have a word with the agency.

that's like a male cleaner we had at a school i worked at. he used the mop he'd cleaned the floor with (and loo floor) to clean my whiteboard. it stank the room out.

am typing one handed as ds2 has just fallen asleep in my arms....

I have black cloths for the toilet....

Yuck!
Do the colour coding thing, or have clothes in special places for each thing that needs cleaning, toilet cloth behind toilet, sink cloth behind sink(thats what the pipes are for really, to keep the clothes on ), kitchen cloth in kitchen!

Yuk yuk yuk.

I would have a strong word with the cleaner.

Think this might be a unanimous thread.

Ewwwww

Quint, colour-coded cloths is the way to go.

And lol at black cloths for the loo........

Bleach everything she has 'cleaned' then ask her never to return. Grossed out
