If you are planning to buy a rental home, or you're thinking about what to do with one you have just acquired, this is the place for any questions about starting out in the rentals business.
buy a dozen of the Ikea black ones at .79cents (euros) and put used ones in the plastic recycling bin when yucky - (we do rinse them with peroxide before we do that)
Guests rarely use loo brushes... sometimes they don't even seem to have figured out the flush mechanism. But they don't have to. They're on holiday.
So although there is a loo brush and holder in each bathroom it tends to remain pristine as, when I do my cleaning, I carry my own brush and pot around which then gets disinfected and tucked away till the following day. Bathroom brushes are checked daily as part of the cleaning routine so I'd notice if they had been used and needed sanitising.
One particular set of guests particularly invited me to check the cottage before they left to agree that it was left OK. I declined and said that it is impossible to check properly at a quick glance and said it would be checked thoroughly when being turned around for next guests. What they should have said was "would you like to come and see the diarrhoea that I've left for you all over the seat and down the toilet?!" Well they certainly didn't use the brush provided, but what part of them has no shame to think that was leaving it in an acceptable condition. Clearly they thought it was fine otherwise they wouldn't have invited me in. The human race never cease to amaze me at times. I'm now off to poo pick my horses field..... far more pleasant!
