This poll was suggested by a NewMexiKen reader, who wonders how often people clean their bathrooms. Coincidentally, NewMexiKen saw an Oprah rerun about this very topic recently — it was the only Oprah I’ve ever watched — no, really.
Oprah’s producers had found this woman who had 30-year-old pillows and a disgusting kitchen sponge and just yuck everywhere. Surprisingly, the woman was very put together. I mean it was Oprah, not Jerry Springer.
Anyway, Oprah had some expert there to tell the woman and the audience how and when to clean. I was amazed — aghast — at some of what he said — do you vacuum your mattresses? — but gave it no more thought until the idea for a poll came along.
AFTER you answer the poll, here’s An Easy Guide to a Sparkling Bathroom.
I was about to choose “once every two weeks” but then I admitted to myself that the true answer is once a month or whenever I get grossed out at how dirty the sink is getting.
Not an Oprah fan? You’re missing out.
I went with once a month as well. That’s about how long it takes to realize that it’s a little bit gross in there. Thanks for the link, too. I’ll be using some of those tips tomorrow. It’s about time to clean up in there again.
