Gotta vent.... Went into our downstairs bathroom which is also my dad's and almost got sick... How can one person who dosnt eat much make such a mess??? I had to put gloves on and wipe down everything including the door. I then decided I had to wipe down other things he might of touched (not sure he washes his hands) I feel like his mother but I do remind him to wash. He thinks someone else made the mess. I know it was him cuz the family pretty much dosnt use this bathroom. Is their anyway to help this problem???
I used to clean her bathroom in her apartment, and also wondered "how did THAT get THERE?!?" Holy smokes. Sometimes you don't want to think about it too hard, like what's on the bottom of their shoes and where have those been in the house. I should have bought stock in the Clorox & Lysol companies. I was worried we wouldn't get her deposit back based on the condition of the carpet between her recliner and the toilet. Oh my goodness. They steam cleaned the heck out of the place, and it was OK.
As mom has declined and become totally incontinent, the residence has moved her into different units for higher needs and kept pace with her needs very easily. And the cleaning.
Gloves for him and show him how to use them and then make sure he does
Bell on the bathroom door so you know when he has gone in and can check it before he manages to contaminate everything in sight
Disposable wipes both for his backside and for his hands might help
Some sanitising gel
Is he starting to become bowel incontinent do you think if so time for the professionals to get involved...it might just be something he ate
Oh and dont forget the airspray - I have one that is activiated every x amount of minutes but youan get them that are activated when he opens the bathroom door.
If he is just starting to forget things perhaps a big sign on the door saying is the bathroom clean? have you washed your hands? might help
