Signs that standards are seriously slipping.

Love it

That made me laugh out loud Ninarosa

Oh yes done that !!

Yep been there too picked them to pop in laundry basket and had a quick swipe round on the way ?

Yuck.

I laughed too Love the honesty.

Yuk! Are you still wearing them and shining things with your backside?

I frequently damp wipe with the flannel from grandson's bath before throwing into the laundry hamper. I have panelling in there with a ledge that is a dust catcher. We have wooden stairs so I also utilize the boys bathtime flannel to damp wipe down the stairs on the way down to put a load of washing in.

Now there’s an idea Suedonim ?

Love that idea SueDonim, sadly I'm not that nimble, tho the proportions of my derrière would surely make light work of it.

I ahve never thought of doing that and tbh i don`t like the thought of wiping my furniture down with dirty drawers.
But it did make me laugh out loud.

PS ,have not ahve.tut.

When I worked as a chambermaid many years ago we were taught to wipe the bath and washhandbasin dry with one of the towels we were about to change. So next time you use the bath in a hotel make sure to wash it down first before getting in.

I worked as a chambermaid as a student and I won’t even begin to tell you what we did. When you have 30 rooms to clean in a few hours let’s just say standards do slip.

I did laugh at that Ninarosa

I often do that to the top of a picture frame half way down the stairs although I draw the line at the bannisters ?

25Avalon and SirChenjin, I don't know if it's true or not, but I was always told to check the sheets on the bed in a hotel, to make sure they've been changed.

I have to say I always changed the sheets because that was one of the thing that was easy for the head housekeeper to check and for guests to spot

timetogo2016. Not the crotch bit obviously. ( she says furiously trying to back-peddle ).

It's not the dust that bothers me, it's the pile of books, papers, wool, crocheting, sewing etc steadily growing beside my seat. By the time lock down finishes they may have to dig me out!

??
But at least you’ve done some dusting!
Which is more than I have for quite a while. (Where’s the slob emoji?).
I do sometimes wish I was one of those people who actually enjoy cleaning, but there’s always something better to do, like curling up on the sofa with a good book - or at the moment, lying on a sunbed in the garden with a good book! And maybe a nice long G&T, if I can be bothered to go and make one...

Anyone watch the hoarders programmes? I think that is my current aim, to be like one of them.

Gagajo. I do that with the face flannel, then every few weeks. as well as washing, it gets boiled and bleached, just to be on the safe side.

Like Trisher, I have loads of knitting, crocheting etc. on the go. I have a big shopping bag at the side of my chair to stuff it all into.

I've decided to take my lazy self in hand and have started scrubbing everything in the kitchen. The kettle and toaster are looking good so far.

I'm choking on the smell of bleach though as I have given the worktops a good going over.
