Bathroom Rules

This blog comes on the heels of my Toilet Cleaning blog, where I talk about how no one person is any more or less important than another and how cleaning toilets is a very humbling experience.

As a result of my humbling experience, we had Bathroom 101 in our household this evening. Now this is a definite 101 class and it needs to be repeated every so often as users of said bathroom seem to forget there are A-N-Y rules at all.

The basics of this class include:

How to throw trash into the trash receptacle instead of wherever it happens to land on the floor, counters or towels.

How to put the toilet lid up, pee, wipe up various splatters or other messes, flushing, and putting lid back down. Now you might think I am a finicky lady that doesn't want to fall in when using the toilet. This is a very good reason but not the reason I used. I have a pet that is not allowed to drink regular tap water or their kidneys will act up and they will D-I-E. This is why it is very important to put the seat down after use. This has been explained before but this section of class needs repeated often.

Next the class moves on to showering basics. This includes things such as the shower walls are not to be used as a collection point of Ann hair. This same concept holds true for the drain. Soap is included in the showering process and not an optional feature to be used occasionally.

Finally we move onto the final - how not to turn the bathroom sink into a nuclear war zone in under 1 day. Toothpaste is meant to clean teeth, not left in the sink for things to drop into it. Once again not a hair collection zone. We like to look at Ann's hair on her head - not drizzled over the sink. Finally, every toiletry you own does not have to sit on top of the sink for the entire world to look at. We believe you have sufficient product that does not need to be kept out for all to see. It is not that amazing, we all have those supplies.

Of course this class was met with groans and I know mommmmmmmmmmmm.  We shall see if it does any good.

Up next week, Bathrooms 202, how to clean a bathroom the MOM way!!!
