I worked in food service as a teen and mopping the public bathroom was much worse than cleaning the toilet.

OP here and I do like this comment because I agree cleaning a toilet is not very hard. I'd rather clean toilets than vacuum or deal with cat litter or deep clean the fridge -- all those other tasks are more time consuming and either physically more arduous or grosser.

I will say that cleaning a toilet someone else has been using is annoying especially if that someone is an adult. Even though I don't really mind cleaning toilets I will sometimes ask my spouse to do it just so I don't feel like I'm the designated toilet cleaner. I do think there is something specifically about expecting someone else to clean your toilet that seems ... I don't know. High and mighty or something.

I'm the poster who hasn't cleaned a toilet in 25 years... I love to deep clean a fridge. My BFF's son just bought a house and it had a very dirty fridge. I deep cleaned it for them while they had contractors walk around discussing what needed to be fixed.

What?

I cleaned a fridge how is that confusing to you.

Yes, it takes me less than 5 minutes. I clean the powder room and primary bathroom. DS 17cleans his, and DH takes care of the basement bathroom.

It's so weird that people have some moral stance on cleaning their own house vs hiring a service... when clearly you hire people to do other stuff.

Of course. I clean them weekly or as needed. I have cleaners who come once a month.

This is one of most DCUMish questions ever.

Someone said they hate to clean fridges but they clean a toilet. I said I was the opposite.

Is English your 2nd language?

I went to see her son's new house, the fridge was disgusting, I cleaned it.

But sure your post is the normal one. DCUM, never change.

I don't mind the scrub brush part - that's the easiest. It's the wiping under and around the seat and the back that actually grosses me out the most. But yes, I do it.

FWIW, I'm an RN by background so I've cleaned a lot of poop off grown adult butts.

The idea that poop is beneath you would mean that gastroenterologists who do colonoscopies or colorectal surgeons have a low stature in society. Doesn't bother them

You missed your classes on context.

As people have noted cleaning toilets is pretty easy and takes very little time so not really something that saves you a ton of time and energy if you outsource it. Even if you have regular cleaners there are likely situations where you probably should clean the toilet (I always clean toilets before we have guests unless the cleaners just came).

I think the question is really more about if you think you are "too good" to clean a toilet or not. Like sure lots of people outsource housecleaning in general and that's going to include toilets but many of these people would also clean a toilet themselves with no issue the same way they'd run a vacuum or do the dishes even if they had cleaners who will do that at other times.

But some people seem to think cleaning toilets is for other lesser people. It's kind of interesting actually.

We have a house cleaner once a week. If someone dirties a toilet, they clean it. It's pretty simple. I'd be pretty grossed out if either DH or DS left a dirty toilet for someone else to use.

[Anonymous]

Nope. I hate cleaning so I don't. Also I live in a large house and it would take hours to properly clean. I can afford to have someone come in weekly and for me that is money well spent. Obviously if someone has a blowout we clean up but that doesn't seem to happen in our household on a regular basis. I do laundry though.
