I never clean my bathroom. Waste of time. When it gets really dirty I just move.
ha! That is a good one!
Bathroom- Whenever it looks dirty
Bed cover- if I lay a shirt on it and it picks up an unacceptable amount of dog hair, then I know it's time to wash
I will admit I do not clean the bathroom often enough, whenever it starts to look like it needs it (like right now). It is such a pain because we have hard water and cleaning our bathroom is a long ordeal with a good amount of scrubbing, even if it were done weekly. I know it is gross, don't judge me! My seldom used guest bath only gets cleaned once a month, it only gets used 3-4 times a week and the shower hasn't been used since January. The sheets we wash weekly, sometimes two weeks, really wheneven I decide they need to be washed. Guest room I wash as soon as someone leaves.
Other parts of the house like the kitchen get a good cleaning more frequently. Our house isn't nealy as disgusting as many people's I have been in but it isn't model home clean. We are working to do more cleaning or maybe I can just hire a maid service like my mother!
I clean my bathroom when the spiders start getting too bold. How about you?
You're supposed to CLEAN the bathroom????? :confused:
Okay...twist my arm. When is company coming over? That's when the house, and the bathrooms, get cleaned....
I had friend's growing up who had spotless houses. One friend's mom was such a neat freak their house always looked like a model, you expected the TV to be plastic. She vaccuumed multiple times a week and thoroughly scrubbed the kitchen after every meal. I don't know what else she could have possibly done she was always cleaning. She also had a very successful job as an accountant, it wasn't right.
my mom raised me in a meticulously clean house. I always resented doing housework, she always made me clean and cook when I got home from school so things would be ready when she got home. So, as an adult, I don't clean OR cook lol.
Luckily I married someone who used to be a chef, so he does the cooking and dishes. As far as cleaning the house, we're both a bit lazy on that front. I usually clean the bathroom once every few weeks. It doesn't really get dirty until then since it's just the two of us, and we actually do a lot of showering at the gym since we have busy schedules. When i start getting a little pink ring in the toilet or around the tub drain, I usually go in and scrub.
Why can't they invent a "Self-cleaning" bathroom????:D
Never. But the maid cleans once a week.:o
That scrubbing bubbles auto shower cleaner thing does a pretty good job. I'd probably use some sort of toilet drop-in thing, too except that I have a dog that looooooves toilet water (prefers it to any bowl of sink water) & sneaks it anytime she canQuote:

I hate scrubbing and ive used those SOS Pads and actually took the finish off the tub. (not a good thing) Hubby even made a comment a couple weeks ago about "when are you going to clean the bathroom?" LOL.
Ditto. I haven't cleaned my own bathroom since 1987. I'll give up a lot before I'll give up my cleaning woman. I'll go home tonight to a spankin' clean house!Quote:

Helpful hint: citric acid! Love the stuff. Mix strong and spray on, let it soak for 15 minutes or so. Takes off soap scum, hard water spots, etc. with hardly any scrubbing (well, depending on how much buildup there is :rolleyes:). You can buy large containers of crystalline citric acid very cheaply where you get canning or beer and wine making supplies. Most household cleaners are just food grade acids mixed with a bunch of unnecessary (toxic petroleum based) ingredients anyhow. Mix with a little Dr. Bronner's for a surfactant effect, but if you do that, be sure to rinse the tub thoroughly since it will be slippery.
