[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She uses the kitchen sink instead when she's on the main floor. It grosses me out. I've tried everything. I've talked about instilling good habits with DC, asked if there's a kind of soap/towel she'd prefer in there and straight up asked her to please wash her hands in the bathroom instead of the kitchen.  It's a habit she has and does in her own home so she does it at others' as well.

There are no special towels, soaps etc in the bathroom that she may be worried to use. It's all the same stuff as in the kitchen. But she goes to the bathroom, wipes and then touches the door handle and whatever else she gets distracted by before she gets to the kitchen sink. Not to mention that she touches the faucet in the kitchen (where we prepare food, duh)  to turn on the sink with her pee/poop hands.

Yes, I am somewhat of a germophobe. But why would someone bypass washing their hands in the bathroom in order to do it in the kitchen? She's coming to stay with us in a few days and I want to address it early on.

I know it could be worse and this is kind of a silly pet peeve but it is what it is.

How would you handle it?[/quote] Do you have paper guest towels in the powder room? Some people (myself included) cannot stand the thought of using a towel that someone else has  wiped their hands on .  Now that is gross.[/quote]

Yup or just put a roll of paper towels in there. [/quote]
