When she uses the bathroom, you hear the toilet flush and she opens the door and walks right. How do you politely ask her to wash her hands? I have tried to give her a hint by asking asking my youngest child to wash his hands again whenever he comes out of the bathroom 5 secs after he he flushes. I even told the AP that if you hear the toilet flush and hear my son turn the water on for only 5 seconds and walk out you can ask him to wash his hands again. I thought that would be a hint to her but every single time she uses the bathroom she flushes and walks out. The water does not even get turned on. I don’t like to give hints but don’t know how to w to approach it. Thanks. |
I'm pretty non confrontational but when you have a young adult living in your home you've gotta grow a backbone and be straight with them.
One of our APs never cleaned her room or bathroom. It got to a point where pink slime was growing in her shower, which was pretty new. I bought special sprays and just talked to her one day: hey I noticed pink slime in your shower. That stuff is not good for your health. Here is a spray for it--please use it regularly. I was even toned, and she just nodded her head. Did she become a cleaner person overnight? No. But she did make an effort to stay on top on the most egregious dirt. Be direct, be kind. No beating around the bush. |
"In this country, we wash our hands with soap after using the toilet. Do you like your soap, or do you want $10 to go to Bath & Body Works to get a different one?" |
Please no. The "in this country" part would seriously make me murderous. It's so condescending. Simply say, could you please wash your hands after using the bathroom. If you want a different type of soap, let me know. |
Employees must wash hands poster? |
Wow are you serious?! |
+1 if she can’t figure it out make her take OSHA class |
She is an employee. Put up a sign in the bathroom and enforce it. |
Tell her something like : I've noticed that the hand soap goes unused, don't you like the scent ? I can get you another one.
That's the polite way ... |
This is a major health hazard. Hope you take care of it immediately. It’s not optional. |
Seriously, "in this country" we don't try to have any form of universal health care, we don't have paid sick leave, nor guaranteed maternity leave. spare me with the superiority |
Science experiment time? Get the supplies needed to do the handwashing experiment. With cold and flu season coming up, ask her to conduct the experiment with germ-simulating powder or gel and a black or UV light, to help show the kids the importance of proper handwashing. Then add a note above your tap and on doors to remember to wash hands. |
