Bearing in mind that there will only ever be a limited number of peole in the family/group who gets the benefit of the new toilet roll, and in my experience it is usually one of the kids who is first to use the toilet, I'm not going to lose any sleep over not supplying a fresh one each time. Luckily there are more things for people to get excited about when they stay here than toilet rolls.
Wol, I agree, the cardboard inner bit is very useful for removing all sorts of animals/spiders/insects etc from bathrooms.

Well in my day you didn't bother about such things when making the Blue Peter pen holder...but apparently these days schools tend to ensure they're sterilised before being handed out to the kidsGo on, tell all, Mousie! Why would you need to sterilise a toilet roll tube?

oh - there's a memory! One of my 'aunties' (not a real auntie but she lived up the street and went to keep fit with my mum) completely recovered her kitchen cupboards in that. It was 'wood effect'. The street thought it was lovelyDoes sticky backed plastic still exist?
I tried it in the shoebox house I made for my Tressy doll 
getting back on thread......I don't reckon it's an essential for guests - tho' could come in handy on rainy days

You know LV...thinking creatively and bringing 2 posts together....you could microwave your half used toilet rolls and then tell your guests they're sanitised!
It would be a little like those paper banners they put across toilets - does anyone use those BTW?

They are awful Mousie! The last thing you want to do (apart from unstickiing the first bit of the new toilet rollMouse wrote:You know LV...thinking creatively and bringing 2 posts together....you could microwave your half used toilet rolls and then tell your guests they're sanitised!

) if you are desperate is to get rid of those paper banners.Does everyone leave toilet brushes BTW and if so how often do you replace the heads, at every changeover? When I worked in a hotel it was considered bad form to have them in the en suites, we didn't leave them as it was down to the cleaners to scrub the toilets. Personally I'd rather have them if I was staying in a rental home, but not with traces of previous guests on them, if you see what I mean.

Oh I do! Perhaps a dedicated microwave might get us over that one!?Personally I'd rather have them if I was staying in a rental home, but not with traces of previous guests on them, if you see what I mean
Actually - I stand mine in bleach in the little plastic holder thingy (that's not very environmentally friendly is it!?). Bleach says clean to me...it's result of my upbringing (my mother would have bleached me behind the ears if she could
)I change them about twice a season on average...is that too little?
Actually - thinking about it...do you remove all cleaning products out of bathrooms when children are expected? I've just realised I don't

We only leave bathroom cleaner in. There is a large stock of cleaning stuff in the boiler room in the cellar, with the vacuum cleaner and iron/ironing board. We plan to shut it all away from children but they are unlikely to get at it anyway.
We have loo brushes in the container thingies. Just bought a load of new ones to do a mass replacement but they are looking OK so far. (bleach!)
