When the fungal growth begins the insults relating to how long it’s been since you last shaved, it’s time.

When the germs actually start communicating with me or the fur is longer than the hair on my legs. … So, about twice a year? Is that gross? My poor husband.

Heathers last blog post..A List and Pictures of Naked Babies

I’ve often wondered how one goes about cleaning a shower.

Uhm, I cleaned my shower when I first moved into this house (feb 2008) uh and then I cleaned it again when I was nesting (dec 2008). And then, um, well I looked at it the other day and it might possibly need cleaning again, but who’s got the time?

Veronicas last blog post..And POP! my head exploded.

I am currently trapped in my shower and am sending this through my phone.

It is holding me hostage and is demanding ransom.

List of demands:

You must come and scrub my shower down within a 24 hr. period or they say that it will start sending you my body parts attached to cans of Scrubbing Bubbles.

If you contact Mr. Clean or any other authority, they will wash my mouth out with soap.

They want a public statement from Alfred Hitchcock that showers got a bum rap in the film “Psycho” and a statement of apology that it was a grossly misleading portrayal of showering safety and stability.

Don’t Forsake Me.

Loralees last blog post..I’m having a $50 amazon.com giveaway to make up for the fact that this is THE LONGEST POST KNOWN TO MANKIND!

Personally, I like cleaning my shower. Because the fumes from the fungicide get me high. Sort of legally. It’s a win win!

Jientjes last blog post..Quilly’s Three Word Challenge "No Quitter"

If I wait long enough the hubs will eventually clean it for me. At least that is my theory. Still waiting tho.

Um. I clean mine before every bath she or I take. Otherwise we could die of some form of bacterial infection that has infultrated our family via osmosis.

OCD, I gots it.

Zoeyjanes last blog post..On Being Too DOOOOOOD.

My shower gets a dose of suds every day. Mostly just on the bit of floor around my feet, sometimes the shampoo suds splash on to the wall………..

How dirty does a shower really get, anyway? All the dirt goes down the drain, right? Right?

My mother is disowning me as we speak.

ccr in MAs last blog post..In this economy

I’m just going to keep assuming someone else in my family is cleaning it.

Keeps me happy that way.

Amos last blog post..I told you he was good…

The primary reason I pay a cleaning lady the low, low price of $50 every other week is to clean my bathrooms. Otherwise, who knows when I might get around to cleaning the shower. Twice a year? Once? Who knows?

Average Janes last blog post..Average Jane Wants Her Rock Music Uncensored

Umm..

Every few months? If we’re lucky.

I always clean the bathroom when the kid’s in the tub and I can’t scrub it while he’s in it so it gets forgotten.

I started using the magic erasers on it recently so now I do it while I’m taking a shower. How lazy can you get? I mean really?

Amanda @ Fake Gingers last blog post..Potato Rosemary Bread

Wait, wait! You’re supposed to CLEAN those things??? Damn.

Shannons last blog post..Inquiring minds need to know…

I clean mine whenever I want to take a bath, LOL! I’m not laying down in that nastiness

Otherwise, I let it ride. Reminds me I need to clean my kids’.

Sarah @ TM2TSs last blog post..Weekly Winners – March 01 – March 07

My kids’ birthdays are in February and August; for each birthday party I do a serious cleaning before the family comes over to white-glove inspect my house. I also am a “clean while I shower” person.

Hey! I just stumbled on your blog, and this is the first post I read. I like it! I have a good excuse for hardly ever cleaning my shower – I wear glasses (not in the shower, duh), and honestly cannot see the grime and dirt around the tub unless my face is like a foot away… which I don’t normally do during my shower. Thus it gets cleaned maybe 2-3 times a year, if I’m being honest. In my head though it’s more like once a month or so.

Beths last blog post..We Forgot It Was Valentine’s Day.

I cleaned mine last week cause it had blocked up. Mr Muscle for the win!

Before that… uh… well. *cough*.

Hmm, I moved in here august 2006…. it got a very thorough clean then (thanks to my clean-freak friend) and uhm… i rinse it after a bath with the shower-head.

Thank GOD I’m not the only one who keeps putting it on my ‘todo’ list and never quite getting around to it…

Marylins last blog post..Grumpy B*tch

Ha ha ha. I have to be honest, I think we clean ours more than most people, but this is due to 2 reasons:

1. When not using the shower, the tub is where the cat litter box goes in case of any accidents and, because we don’t have room anywhere else.
2. We have this bizarre tub in our apartment that’s iron I think and has some kind of paint-like treatment on it which, according to our landlord, will be ruined by standing water. So a tub that can’t be wet. So after every shower we have to dry the tub out and pull the shower curtain outside of it.

Since my maid left and never came back (seriously!) – shhhh — (not nearly as often as last year).

Amy @ Milk Breath & Margaritass last blog post..Wordless Wednesday – Big Bear
Twitter: amy2boys

I scrubbed out my tub shower Monday. I have no idea when the last time was I did that. It’s all kicked up and patched from the previous home owners, as if they were washing engine parts out in it and they just dropped the parts into the tub from a great height and then found the cheapest ‘kinda close to the tub color’ patching caulk and then hired a couple chimps to apply it. And it’s a dingy beige to begin with. I’d like to think if I had started with a shiny new white tub I would have tried to keep it that way, but since i was given a dingy, knicked & patched tub I find it hard to work up any enthusiasm since it will never really look clean.

Or maybe I’m just lazy. Probably I am lazy

Stacey~ComfyMoms last blog post..Feeling vaguely guilty

Ew!

My housecleaner scrubs our shower down vigorously every two weeks without fail. I can’t imagine what it would look like if she didn’t do that.

Avitables last blog post..I want to see your pussy

Can’t do household chemicals, so wash stuff down with soap and water after lathering myself.

witchypoos last blog post..My Big Day

We try to clean it pretty regularly NOW.

But that’s because when we moved in, we washed it once and assumed that the other person was doing the cleaning. Finally, I asked if he could clean it again because it was looking gross.

And he said he’d noticed that but he thought maybe I was just busy.

And we did the math and realized that we’d been in the house for several months.

And the guy who lived there before us was a total pervert who had pictures of kids in his attic and pictures of battered women and crap like that.

And I always sit down in the shower to shave my legs.

And I thought OH MY GOD, I’M ONLY ONE SHOWER SCRUBBING AWAY FROM HAVING OLD PERVERTED MAN FEET GERMS UP MY ASS.

So now we scrub it quite frequently, actually.

Sarah @ BecomingSarah.coms last blog post..Direct correlation.

Myself? I put it off as long as possible. Usually anticipation of a guest prompts a cleaning once a season.

However, my son is obsessed with “Dirty Jobs” and my husband has discovered that he can take him into the shower with him and they BOTH CLEAN!! I’m talking about every week or so. It’s totally freaking me out!

Ashlie- Mommycosms last blog post..Perfectly Arugula: Review & Giveaway

I generally wait until my bathroom reaches a level of disgusting only found in rural gas station bathrooms. My criteria is this: If this were a public bathroom, would I just hold my bladder and wait until the next one? When I answer that with yes, I clean.

Be warned: I have appallingly low standards.

jennielynns last blog post..Sign Of The Times

I’m waiting for the bald dude who sings the catchy tune to show up and do that job…he is coming, right?

Girl!!! Scrubbing Bubbles. Srsly. You press a button and it sprays cleaner on your shower walls. You don’t have to touch anything and your shower is clean. I’m not kidding. I just buy the refill bottles and pour it in an old Windex bottle. Every second or third day, I spray the walls and glass after a shower. It’s crystal clean and I don’t have to do anything. Get thee to Walmart!! You can thank me later. (I like chocolate)

Lynn (Walking With Scissors)s last blog post..25 Random Things

Landlord recently replaced our shower…I’m SO glad I didn’t bother scrubbing it before the workmen came or I’d have wasted one of my 2 times a year I nit the grit.

So right now, its like, sparkling, and I–
WTF
is that a SOAP SCUM RING ALREADY?

No more EFFIN BATHS FOR YOU KID
showers or a hose in the yard, or you learn how to spray chemicals and work the scrubber.

I swear, if I lived alone I’d only need to clean the bathroom 1x a year.
Stupid men and boys and stray hairs b/c SOMEONE needs smooth legs to have the sex.

pfft

pfft I say

I think I do it every few months, but I may be lying to myself. I wouldn’t mind cleaning one bathroom, but we have 3. My kids bathroom is currently really nasty and on my list of things to clean today. Toothpaste in the sink, hair and lint on the floor, the toilet is orange inside(apparently flushing is just beyond them) and the shower is ..well it needs a scrub too.
For me, I clean the tub when the floor looks dirty. We have those pre-fab tubs with attached walls and the floor of the tub is textured, so it never REALLY comes clean.. Any suggestions from anyone?

Jessicas last blog post..If you want something done right…

Wait…they’re not self cleaning…?

I do it when company will be coming over and taking a shower. At this time no one is invited over.
We only take showers so every few months or as needed? Which is really not that often, it just doesn’t seem to get as nasty from just showering! No bathtub rings! YAY!!!!

Special Ks last blog post..Thank you and an update

In my perfect fantasy life, I clean my shower weekly.

In real life, I clean it whenever it looks like it needs to be done, which can be much more often than weekly or way too long between cleanings. I like it to be sparkly. It is, mostly.

Well, it gets done weekly, but that doesn’t mean I’m the one doing it.

Rees last blog post..Fifty minutes in this hour

If spraying it down with scrubbing bubbles, letting it soak for a few minutes, then spraying it down with hot water counts as cleaning, then once a month. Maybe. Or two months. I think. Could be three.

Man, I should go clean the shower…

I scrub mine when it get *that* gross. It is currently at that point, which means I throw the shower curtain closed everytime I sit on the toilet and *wha-lah* it looks much better just.like.that.

Then I make my 14 yr old daughter scrub it as punishment for being suspended from school for 2 days *AGAIN* for her SMART ASS MOUTH. Honestly, whos kid is she anyway?

Uh yeah .. please advise.
How did THAT photo get stuck to my comments and how do I change it? I totally have a better photo now!

Mine gets cleaned every other week by my cleaning ladies but after reading these comments I think I’ll go give it a once over.

I could just leave a comment that’s all, ”Bow down to me, suckahs!!” by telling you my showers/tubs get cleaned DAILY without elaborating but that hardly seems fair.

Our showers/tubs DO get cleaned every.single.day (or at least every day that they’re used) but it’s really simple: I keep a spray bottle with vinegar/water/insert good smelling oil of choice in all of the bathrooms and the kids (excluding the 3 yr old) know to spray the walls and tub every time they get out. Stays clean, smells good, win/win.

No build up, no soap scum and for the love of all that is holy NO SCRUBBING.

CharmingBitchs last blog post..In other news, I am a giant whiny baby. Srsly.

Dear Lotus,

I have been reading your blog faithfully these last few months .. even after I stopped blogging on my own blog and even after I stopped commenting on anyone elses blog.
I just wanted to say that I fucking love love love your new comment get-up over here!

Love
Madness

We don’t clean the shower. We just move.
Kidding. I clean the shower at least as often as I pay the people to come steal our garbage. Quarterly maybe?

‘cuz I’m the mommy, that’s why!s last blog post..Underpants on My Head

Hmmmm, well in our last house (we lived in it April 08 until two weeks ago) I think I cleaned my shower (no tub, just a large shower stall made of BROWN and TAN tile) 2-3 times total. It was also one of those yooky old showers that just will never be clean thanks to mildew and water damage. Have I mentioned my hag of a land lady and her maintenance practices? (Or lack thereof)

So yeah, out of there now and since my new tub is sparkly WHITE that means it’ll be even longer before it’s noticeably nasty, right?

Stassjas last blog post..On the fly

Does spraying shower cleanser and then running away count? If so, every other week or so. If not…..uh not since we moved in. But once every six months or so I hire a cleaning crew to come deep cleanse my house. So worth it.

They do glare at me though as they leave.

This is very freeing. I thought I was the only one who only cleaned the shower when company was coming, which is maybe twice a year. I love all of you and especially you Lotus! It is just wonderful to know I am not the only “lazy douche” out there. LONG LIVE LOTUS!!!!

Wait. What year is it?

*computing the math…*

Damn.

Trenches of Mommyhoods last blog post..A Giveaway!

well…we’ve been in this apartment about a year. i cleaned it once cause the black mold was threatening to start growing on me, that was….a long time ago. i might give it a cleaning before the summer company starts…maybe…

krystinas last blog post..Wordless Wednesday (with a post)

Once a month. EEK!

Well, I take baths every night so I clean the bathtub as soon as I start seeing a ring beginning to form. I use baking soda to clean it, no chemicals are used.

As for the shower… I am with you, not until the growth surfaces which in our case is usually once a or twice year. If we move before the growth appears (cause you know we move about every 6 months to a year) we’ll clean it for the walk though inspection.

Don’t judge me.

Talinas last blog post..Um, hi! Can you spray your germs somewhere else, please? [*warning* graphic snot pic ]

Someone else just said that they wash their…get this…WASHING machine. DUDE, if it’s getting my body and my clothes clean, it’s good enough for me.

So I guess your answer is: not nearly often enough.

Anissa@Hope4Peytons last blog post..The epitome of the mommyblogger

I’m not sure I should be admitting how dirty I am on your blog but I’ve probably cleaned ours twice since we moved into the house. Oh yes, we moved in 2003.
