Vacuuming, dusting, just keeping your home generally tidy. Do you bother or have you like me given up, finding it hard to keep on top of?

[raleighnut]

normally too pished to bother

Bog brushes are one of the most disgusting things man kind has invented. Why would you use something to clean faeces then put it in a pot covered in said faeces.

Seriously?
You are supposed to rinse them under the flush and then put them back clean into a the pot with some bleach in. Not put a dirty brush back.

As said above, rinse after use. Better than a streaky bog.

I can't stand the sight of dirty dishes in the sink so I do all the washing up. I refuse to buy a dishwasher as I feel it isn't necessary for just two of us.
Mrs G does the vacuuming as she says I don't do the corners properly .

Aha, my chance to boast...
I care for my wife who does just about manages to do downstairs each day but I do everything else...everything.
Up at 7 do kids breakfast quick tidy round downstairs to ease the load on my wife
Kids clothes ironed, ready for them to get dressed
Bathroom cleaned.
Two bedrooms, beds made, kids do 'help' tidy up their stuff from the previous night.
Entire upstairs hoovered every day.
All finished by 08.30 to get the kids to school.

All meals cooked by me.
Downstairs laminate floors cleaned every couple days.
Stairs hoovered every couple days
Laundry EVERY SODDING day
All shopping done by me. Etc etc etc.

It's really not hard, you just have to want to and make sure you do ...do.
I sit there sometimes and think, right, I'm going to throw some stuff away and will attack a bedroom set of drawers or something, we have lots of stuff...I hate 'stuff'...and yet I still sit there other times with a nagging boredom, so there's plenty time left over by the time I've done it all.

You're an inspiration. I hope I have your commitment if ever called upon.

So you rinse them under the flush which still leaves faeces the put them in a bleach solution. So you have bleach and sh!t. Great.

Use your hands.

What do you use then your tongue?
I can assure you my toilet brush is not covered in nasty things. Its clean.

A dose of bleach gets rid of skidmarks in the pan without any scrubbing.

And then polishing action of my Y fronts keeps my buttocks streak free.

Do you clean each bristle before putting in its pot.

I tend to do my washing at weekend as I work Monday to Friday.
Vacuum once a week, mop maybe once a week, wash up most nights.
As I live on my own and it's only a small house it's quite easy to keep on top of.

Used to have a cleaner come in once a week but don't any longer

It’s crap - you’ve literally just produced it. It wouldn’t kill you if you clean it off with your hands, as long as you wash properly afterwards.
You are supposed to clean the brush in the toilet bowl after flushing the cleaned-off faeces. Some put a little water + bleach in the pot - OK unless your floor is carpeted, which is a whole other can of worms.

I use my neighbours bog, saves on this bog brush shenanigans

I used to be quite houseproud but then I discovered CC, cycling and gardening, housework went to pots
I'm also in a ground floor flat that tends to become quite dusty, and I work full time, sometimes 6 days a week.
Plus the hairs of two cats don't help either!
At the moment the place is a riot, because I'm getting a new kitchen in 2 weeks.
I'm slowly dismantling the old kitchen, which is a good incentive to declutter the rest of the flat too.
Normally I hoover once a week, change he bedding once a week, make sure there aren't dirty dishes in the sink at the end of the day, do a washing twice a week - don't have any ironing.
However, I haven't washed my windows since last year (in the summer, I think!), nor mopped my living room in ages ... ahem.
The workmen are going to mess the floors up anyway, so I'll leave it till after they are gone ... that's my excuse

Do you clean each bristle before putting in its pot.

For my sins I became a "professional" cleaner after losing my job during the pandemic.
Indeed this is what I do when I clean toilets at work: if the brush is too soiled to be cleaned in the toilet pan with the supplied industrial cleaning solution and flushing, I take the brush to an equipment clean only sink, using gloves and very hot water I will make sure each bristle is clean before I put it back in its pot.
In extreme cases, I'll just bin it, replace it with a new one.
At home, I use gloves, bleach and my hands - discard the cloth after.

I'm trying to find those photos I took of my then local pub about 8 years ago when the place sank rock bottom, with the 'gents' bogs absolutely minging with the toilet brush covered in bits of used bog paper and you know what💩, but so far I can't find them.
