It's the last straw!

I am with you glass 3 Adults at one teen,two at the moment one bathroom and loo,and a downstairs loo require cleaning every day,same as kitchen,and the laundry Nd towels that generates ,and bedding,scummy beds are another pet hate of mine...go through loads of bleach and cleaners..

It's only a small bathroom and if I wipe it down after showering it doesn't need a massive blitz, which I hate.

I'm no Mrs Mop!

You should see the dust under the bed!

As there are 4 adults and two children in the household I am finding that general areas like bathroom loos and kitchen take the heavy wear and it doesn't take long for the whole place to go to rack and ruin, so have to keep on top of it.

Our apartment is small compared to most and it does not take long to clean a big change from the very large house we lived in when the DCs where at home,I don't think I am obsessive about housework but do tend to keep things tidy and must have a tidy kitchen and spotless bathroom.

I do have a thing for sparkling white sanitary ware - simple pleasures!
Kitchen sink cleaned every day.
Being a wooden floor, minimalist kind of girl, I don't have much else to faff around with!

Sanitary ware - what an old fashioned expression - now why did I use that term ?

I'm with the sluts - the bathroom doesn't need cleaning every day!

Jeni [ smile]

I clean the bathrooms, loos and kitchen every day.

Clean the bathroom EVERY DAY!!! - what!?

OH and I have decided to tackle our en suite today as we have realised that some of the bottles have been standing unused for YEARS! - every day!? - heavens above!!! I must be a total slut!

I clean up after myself so if that's cleaning the bathroom every day I suppose I do, too

You clean the bathroom every DAY???!!! gosh.

Yes, my bathroom gets done every morning, my kitchen gets very little use anyway and my cooker is sparkling atm!
As for the rest.....don't put your specs on!

Yes thats me if bathrooms, loos and kitchen are spotless the rest gets done when and where in between GN

Chaos follows me. When I downsized almost 12 years ago, I said I was going minimalist. . I claim not to have enough storage space but the truth is that I am a hoarder. The good thing about having a Kindle is that at least I no longer hoard all the books I read!

Bathrooms toilets and kitchens should be as spotless as operating theatres! (wish I could get my cleaner to agree, she's lovely and caring and honest but!)

Same hear cannot abide a dirty toilet and bathroom ....eeeerrrgghh yuk

and x

If anyone comes to visit me to measure the thickness of the dust layer, I'd rather they stayed away.

When visiting others I only notice if there is a nasty smell in the kitchen, or if the bathroom is visibly filthy.

Think you have just earned yourself the free trial vacuum cleaner Nellie.Take care

Ps I will be sitting in the car it's quieter,but equally as chaotic,with the doors locked,rocking back and forth pulling my hair out...when you arrive please bring me a cup of tea out thank you...

In that case you are all more than welcome to mine,to date we have bags of returning sons clothes,CDs,books,bedding,dog,along with visiting teenagers paraphanelia clothing,hair straighteners,etc,E,'s toot and general mess our dog,and general upheaval involved in having new kitchen and new carpets laid throughout,we have mess,noise,and dust,and dogs hairs.... Please feel free to call round...

When my MIL used to visit I would feel she was checking the skirtings etc, and her DD is worse I think. She would never mention anything but you would feel she was just casting her eye over things, she was obsessive about housework, every day her house was spring cleaned from top to bottom. Not that it changed my attitude to housework.

It gets done when it needs done unless I am in a strop or worried over something and I can clean for England (but cant say it happens very often).

When I go into other peoples houses its the last thing I would think of doing, and I am the most unobservant person so unless I tripped over the mess I wouldn't see it.

I suppose I would notice if a house I was invited to was in an appallingly filthy condition to the point of being a health risk, but generally speaking, I take little or no notice of the degree of cleanliness and tidiness. I go to see my friends or family, not to check the quality of their housekeeping. Does anyone actually ever have guests who inspect their homes?

Good for you Greatnan.
You would be welcome here. However my lovely Missus is very reserved when meeting folks ,especially for the first time!
Gramps.

May I put in a word for we tidy folk? I don't mind what state a house is in when I visit - I keep my obsessive tendencies for my own home. In spite of this, my daughter always said she was tense before my visits, no matter how often I told her I didn't care if they hadn't cleaned up. (She doesn't do any housework because of her large hernia, so it is down to three adult chidren living at home). What matters to me is the warmth of my welcome and I am never disappointed in the houses where I most often stay (although I should add that two of them are always immaculate). It is easy for me to keep my tiny flat tidy, living alone with no pets, so I am never judgemental about anybody else's house.
