Bathroom cleaning cloths dilema

  • I confess I was a bit suprised at the amount of disposable wipes being used, but then I am a bit different having grown up alot abroad. When I first came back to UK I was quite hygiene phobic - the only reason I would buy those those anti-bac wipes would be to carry them in my handbag when out with the kiddos - if they had to use a public toilet I'd wipe the seat first!
    We lived in rural Ireland for awhile - one of my DD's coming into her teens used to go mad with those make up wipes - our drainage system got blocked, very embarassing, the drain technician said it was the wipes. Since then I've been very cautious. I will use them if theres 'anything going around' but otherwise I use a certain coloured jaycloth on the toilet, different from anything else in the house - it gets soaked in bleach then hung outside everytime. After all research shows the adverage toilet seat has less bacteria than a pc keyboard!
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    I'm not a big fan of all this disposable stuff, but the loo wipes are the one thing I do use. They're quick and easy, no problems with them going stale and smelling bad, no need to fuss with washing or soaking them in bleach, plus hygiene is pretty much assured. No worries about contaminating other things with them, they just go in the bin and are gone.
