Do you mind cleaning your bathroom yourself?

Well, I clean my bathrooms myself and do not rely on any outside help, I am not satisfied with the cleaning of the domestic help too, I always want my bathrooms to be neat and clean so I do it myself about 3-4 times in a week or even more, like cleaning the tiles, the washbasin and even the pipes which I want to look sparkling always. How about you friends, do you do it yourself or rely on some help?

Well Yogambal. Thanks for the question. You seem to hit the nail on the head always. Especially regarding all the chores that I seem to be doing. It doesn't matter if I like it or not, I have to clean the toilets. I am the official cleaner of the house, being the youngest in the family. Well, my MIL surmises, what is wrong if you clean it, you also use it right. She is right. But then, people may not like doing such tasks. Earlier, I had never imagined that I would be required to do such tasks. But now I am so used to all these tasks that I have forgotten the feeling of dirt, yukkiness etc. I just go about doing my job. I take bath after I am done with it. But even then sometimes the smell of the cleaning liquid sticks to my skin which feels very disgusting. I cant help it but then I have no choice. So, given a choice, I would certainly NOT clean any toilet in the world. :)

Well, in my house my daughter takes the charge of cleaning the toilets. I do it very rarely. But i see to it that the bathroom is made clean before the arrival of any guests. The tiles are made to clean by the servant who does it once in a while. Personally i do not like to clean the bathrooms and toilets.

No, I clean my bathroom myself and I don't mind one bit. At least I know for myself that everything has been done to the way I like it! I just did the whole bathroom today. Everything from top to bottom, literally. I did the ceiling and floor as well as the porcelain and shelves and all. I like it clean and shiny too. Most of the time I'll just do the floors, porcelain and all the usual stuff, but about every couple months I go the extra mile to make sure it's all in tip-top cleanliness. I don't know about others, but I feel it's really clean when guests use my bathroom. I've never had any domestic help. Ever.

I have to clean my bathroom myself and as tutor says - i'm the official toilet cleaner in my house - but at times my mom takes over, especially if i'm not well. I clean the closets once in 15 days and the washbasins once in a week. Well this reminds me that i have cleaned the wall tiles for a long time! However, we clean the floor tiles daily after our body wash :)

Hi Yogambal A good question. My housemaid cleans the bathroom and toilet. That means she puts up the show that she cleans. Sometimes I cannot tolerate the dirty look and I clean it . But I prefer not to clean the toilet. Have a nice day

I love cleaning! Bathrooms included! I love organizing and cleaning. It doesn't bother me one bit. I would prefer to do it myself because I know where everything goes and how I like it cleaned.

This is a good question. I am embarassed to say that I mind cleaning my bathroom. When I was at home, my mom did all the work. When I was stayed in a hostel, there were maids to do that work. Now, I am staying with my husband. My husband is a good cleaner and he doesn't mind doing that, in fact he wants to do all the cleaning jobs at home (other than cleaning vesels and laundry) because I am not good at cleaning.
