It's becoming clear to me that Mr. Y doesn't do bathrooms. I'm actually OK with that since the Scrubbing Bubbles and I have become good buds over the years. Who cleans the loo in your home? You? Your SO? Do you share the duties?
There are two bathrooms in our apt. I use one, he uses the other for the most part. We each clean our own, and then I go redo the mirrors and countertops in his. I am anal.
I clean it 99% of the time. He'll vacuum (it's the only carpeted room in our house - no we didn't do that) and he'll scrub the tub if I ask him to but yup Scrubbing Bubbles is a close friend of mine too. :)
I almost always clean the bathroom because Mr. CC isn't the most thorough when cleaning it and it grosses me out haha. I usually do the bathrooms and he'll clean the animal cages sometimes, which is never a fun task. I am way more OCD when it comes to cleaning than him, but he still pulls his weight and helps out a lot.
@Candy Corn: That's the other reason why I don't mind cleaning that room! LOL It's funny that you mention the animal cages, because Mr. Y's great with litter box duties. Hmm...
I normally do, and I hate it! But it definitely balances out thought, because I only do dishes once in a blue moon. Once I complained about hating scrubbing the bathroom, he has pitched in a lot more. (The first time he did it was the anniversary of us moving into our apartment. He caught a lot of flack for it then.)
I do it. The deal is I do the bathroom and he vacuums. I hate vacuuming, it takes forever and it's so heavy to pull around. Other chores get done by whoever, mostly I do the inside stuff and he does the outside stuff. It's a lot more even now we have a yard!
I clean the bathroom, but Mr.Flamingo is really good with the cleaning. He swifers, vaccums and mops the floors... all the things I hate
I clean the bathrooms in our place. Not only is the Mr. not as thorough as I am, I just don't think he notices when it's dirty. I could spend an hour in there cleaning, scrubbing the tub, wiping the cabinet, mopping the floor, and he could come home and not even notice. Meanwhile, I notice every hair (usually mine) on the floor, smudge in the tub, etc. So, I could ask him to do it, and he would, but he wouldn't clean the right things and I would get mad, so I just save us the trouble and make him do other things!
He doesn't do any house work, well besides fold clothes. He doesn't like doing laundry and I don't like folding so it works out with that. He will help me out if I ask, but I'm definitely the one who cleans the bathroom, kitchen, vaccuums and everything else!
we both do... he does a "preliminary clean" (as i call it)..washes floor and scrubs sink, then i go in and scrub the tub, reclean the sink, and the toliet. fun!
I THINK i clean the bathrooms well....
...and then mom comes to visit and proves me wrong. He has no problem cleaning them though. He takes one and I take the other.
I do. It's not that he wouldn't, it's just that his cleaning isn't quite up to my standards. In general, he takes out the garbage and sometimes cleans the floors. Other than that it's all me unless I ask specifically. Oh yeah, most of the time he empties out that garbage trap in the sink because it makes me sick!
I often jokingly say that thank heavens I have an uterus as apparently it makes me uniquely qualified to vlean the commode. To be fair, FI is pretty good at doing other chores around the home.
I'm pretty much the exclusive "bathroom cleaner" in our household. We split up other chores, but I take this one. It sounds really nerdy, but I actually enjoy cleaning--and a clean bathroom makes me happy.
haha, @ejs4y8.. thats so true!! my mom has cleaned our bathroom and it looks soooooo much cleaner than when we do it! what her secret is i have no clue!
I usually clean them - it was "my chore" growing up, so I have it down to a science & actually enjoy doing it. My fiance HATES cleaning showers & tubs, but he will usually do the toilets for me if he notices me doing the rest of it. He vacuums in exchange for my bathroom cleaning - I hate vacuuming!
Most of the time it is me. My FI tends to take care of the living room and kitchen so I take the loo. I have to say that I ABSOLUTELY hate cleaning the bathroom (yuck!!) but it has to get done.
We both do but I do more often, it's just one of the things I do. Every other week is a thorough pull everything out and spray Clorox everywhere!!! And scrub, scrub, scrub!!! And then we do it again if company's coming over. That's a pet peeve of mine, gross bathrooms when you go over to someone's place. Then the weeks we don't do a thorough scrub down I usually do a good wipedown with cleaning wipes.....
We're extremely clean people - the FI even more than I!- and so is my mom. So when she visited and gave us the nod of approval on cleanliness it was too funny. She loves the fact that the FI cleans just as much if not more than I because Chinese men do not clean, in general.
We're the same as mascara and her SO - we each have our own bathroom. I clean mine a lot more than he cleans his though. I like everything to be clean and he doesn't seem to mind so much if its not. He cooks dinner and does laundry though :)
I'd say it's a 50/50 split. He cleans the shower, I clean the tub, he cleans the floors, I clean the counters & mirrors, he cleans the "lo" and I wash/fold the towels. We just each kinda fell into cleaning the things we used the most. It works for us, but I'm sure it sounds odd. We never had a conversation where we decided who cleaned what...it just sorta happened and we were both ok with it.
I always clean the bathrooms, but I think it's fair since he always mows the lawn. It all evens out and he helps out in other ways.
I do the toilet and sink, he does the tub/shower. It works great for us!
I clean the bathroom and almost everything in general. He thinks he cleans "a lot," but please... if he cleans something I usually have to redo it. I guess it's my fault with my high standards ;)
He does. He does most of the cleaning...for now. Once I find a local job and my commute is shorter, I'll take it back as I actually LIKE cleaning the bathroom!
The cleaning lady! We both work 50 plus hours a week. Our treat is a cleaning lady once a month. I'll spot clean until she's able to come and do a big clean.
FH actually had a cleaning lady before I even moved in so that takes care of alot. However, FH is domestic & does laundry and all. But I have never seen him do that bathroom honestly - I actually just cleaned it for the first time since I moved in since January b/c the cleaning lady couldnt come ( I was hoping she would) I did plenty of cleaning growing up in a Cuban household & FH totally understands that ( He's even told me dont worry Ill make sure cleaning lady comes by once a week to clean when we have kids b/c the time I spend cleaning is taken away from time for other things) Im so blessed!!!!!!
I have always done it- and boy do I hate it! I am sure he would clean it though, but then my OCD comes into play and I know he won't do it 'well' so I'll end up cleaning it again.
He hates cleaning the bathroom, so it's usually my job unless I'm super busy and he feels bad. I don't mind b/c I hate dusting, so he'll do that while I clean the bathroom. We make a good pair!
this morning hubby volunteered to clean the bathroom before ym parents arrive for a visit and I was so excited! I think he will probably take this over. He is, in general, more conscientious of keeping things very clean, while I am more focused on keeping things neat and organized, if that makes sense. I do laundry, ironing, meals, bills, make the bed so things look neat, and he does dishes, kitchen and bathroom to keep things clean!
Hmm...I'm not sure who'll do it. It might be him, because there's not much "dust" in the bathroom, which is what he has issues with (allergies), but it might be me. As a guess, I'm going to say we'll probably split it 50-50. =)
I do everything in both bathrooms except the floors, he does that. He does, however do the daily puuting things back in the cabinets, straightening the rugs and towels.
Overall, I'd say we take turns doing all the chores, including cleaning the bathroom. We never split the task though - whoever starts it, finishes it. :)
I clean the bathrooms with scrubbing bubbles and he does the floors and glass surfaces! :)
