My vote in not for an outhouse. I agree with Kim the bathroom in PA was terrible.Tucker Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489085326277004736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-28194285071716207812008-09-28T19:16:00.000-07:002008-09-28T19:16:00.000-07:00Oh, the wisest words I ever did hear.

They do that fancy sani-cycle after each use...and you could make money off your own kids while we're at it (though truth be told they would probably steal the money out of our very own wallets or better yet, find another place to deposit their "waste".)Emma Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388909151075041809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-2475235665021065942008-09-27T21:18:00.000-07:002008-09-27T21:18:00.000-07:00Since aiming hasn't caught on in my husband's 32 y...Since aiming hasn't caught on in my husband's 32 years, I'm just giving up on that. <BR/><BR/>Last year at Education Week, I attended a cleaning class where they talked about easing the pain of cleaning bathrooms. The teacher gave a prize to the mom with the most sons; she had eight! Their tip was to install a wall-mount toilet, which is much easier to clean. My trick was to hire a professional bathroom cleaner who also was a nurse. She used hospital cleaning products to clean my bathrooms, and it was only $15 per bathroom! Even she couldn't get the urine smell completely out of the bathroom, but she suggested I replace my wooden toilet seat with a plastic or painted one. Also, urine hides out on the back behind where the tank connects to the toilet. I found that out when I disconnected the toilet from the floor this summer. That one little spot can keep everything stinky, but it's pretty easy to reach.<BR/><BR/>Happy cleaning--or hiring!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583286432601536145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-32247496766770875892008-09-27T19:39:00.000-07:002008-09-27T19:39:00.000-07:00My grandpa actually had a house that had one!

You'd think by 26 you'd learn how to aim. Which reminds me, I need to go clean my bathrooms.

Priceless. And #3 is too true for me to find funny. <BR/><BR/>Actually, they HAVE created a self cleaning bathroom. However, I heard about it when I was in high school so apparently it hasn't particularly caught on. Not sure why - I would love one.<BR/><BR/>They have those automatic shower cleaners. Try putting one opposite the toilet and see how it works.Twinlinebackershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932505937669695346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-47297216552587134822008-09-27T08:01:00.000-07:002008-09-27T08:01:00.000-07:00That is a LOT of bathrooms to clean.

I have a habbit these days of just going in and pouring bleach around the toilet on the floor. The bleach burns my eyes and then starts to fill the whole house. And, as soon as I clean it up, it smells like pee again within a day or two. One thing I pretty much do every time I use the bathroom is spray it with a bleach bathroom cleaner and clean at least the seat. Although I have often wondered why someone hasn't invented and/or made mainstream the whole idea of a bathroom that you can simply close the door, push a button, and it sanitizes--possibly like a dishwasher.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934996387564709933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-11382077490243598292008-09-26T17:27:00.000-07:002008-09-26T17:27:00.000-07:00Charlotte...that is funny.
