I use to have a bath once a wk on a Sunday evening before the school wk started.
In front of the fire in the winter and outside on the concrete under the kitchen window in summer.
Just as well our kitchen was at the back

[dahliagirl]

We used to share the bathwater until everyone got impetigo.  Then we each got our own bathwater

I use microfiber cloths to wipe the shower down each time I use it.  They keep the tiles clean and shiny  The bath gets a once over with cif (jif as was) and this rinses away nicely instead of leaving grit.  However, does this contain the same plastic microbeads that are in cosmetics, and that fish eat?  This has been worrying me but I can only find info on cosmetics.

I use 'cif' for everything
I can't bear the feel of those micro-cloth thingies

I buy the expensive eco ones in the sales.  They are nice - like towelling.  Also, the thin glass cleaning ones which polish the tiles (and the mirror) nicely. The dusters can be a bit yucky on dry skin though but they collect huge amounts of dust  .

Dust  - is that the stuff that flies around the room when I show it a mop 

[dahliagirl]

The best thing I ever did was replace all the carpets in one go (following major extension work)  No dust for months - just carpet fluff. 

(Made up for all the dust the plasterers made)

Pledge Fluffy Dusters - pick up and trap the dust so none flies around.  I am allergic to dust and these really do work.

I have been known to wipe the bedroom surfaces with something out of the laundry basket if I am really bothered, which isn't very often

We have a mix of carpets and hard flooring.  I have to remember not to polish the stairs

I use whatever on offer ! Lost total interest in housework past couple years I do live in a clean house its just not as high a standard as was !

[dahliagirl]

I have lost interest a lot. The time between cleaning and it needing cleaning again is very short.  I have a lot of redecoration that needs doing.

I was particularly apathetic after I had an op.  It went on for several months and got better once I found out I was low on Vit D and it did improve.  Still a way to go

[Dyan]

Same here WTD.
Use to have a day for cleaning this,a day for cleaning that. Not anymore.
Apart from cleaning bathrooms every wk everything else gets done when & if.
I do check the loos though just in case company drops in unexpectedly.

We have just had someone come who needed the loo. I had to check it <embarrassing> but it was fine <phew> 

I my defence, it is not my lack of housework that is the problem there - just the son who does not seem to be able to learn..............

[CLKD]

I keep our main bathroom clean.  Himself does the hoovering and steam cleaning.  We share the rest …..

As an aside, as typing that silly advert for a loan company came on: where the lad tells his Mum that the boiler has packed up so 'there's no hot water' - give him a kettle and flannel then?

My son needs a bog brush 

[CLKD]

Buy him a Porta-Potty and build a shed
