But in particular the bathrooms are embarrassingly dirty. Madeline only naps for 30 mins so I find it hard to keep up with stuff!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418594 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:33:44 +0000 psw27 1418594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>under our bed... there is enough dog hair under there to make another dog. I try, but I just don't have the energy lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418585 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:30:11 +0000 MrsH 1418585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ceiling fans - I can see the dust from here :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418569 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:24:36 +0000 NurseMommy 1418569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everywhere. I'm truly working on getting on top of things, because lo is finally getting close to moving independently and the dog hair in this place is just disturbing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418558 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:21:03 +0000 Smurfette 1418558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under the beds and coffee table </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418546 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 16:16:32 +0000 PurplePeony 1418546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, everywhere. My LO literally takes up ALL my time -- I was able to fold a load of laundry yesterday and that felt like a huge accomplishment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418493 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:59:53 +0000 Shutterbug 1418493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: are you on MWRA? Our water has very high iron content and our tub always turns orange. It drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418292 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:02:36 +0000 spaniellove 1418292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I don't think we were getting them inside the dishwasher...I wonder if it's because our dishwasher uses a special salt? We ended up getting a whole house water softener to deal with the iron because it was staining our toilets, all our grout, everything. My MIL though had the dishwasher issue and it was really frustrating for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418278 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:59:07 +0000 mrs. bird 1418278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: we have orange stains inside our dishwasher, that's from high iron, right? do you get that? i've heard you can run tang drink mix through to get rid of them, but i've never tried since that's not something we have on hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418270 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:56:16 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1418270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am *so* glad I'm not the only one.

I dread the day LO outgrows the baby tub because then I have to keep the big tub clean enough to put her in it. Our master bath is the only one with a tub, the guest bath just has a shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418220 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:40:22 +0000 StbHisMrs 1418220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathrooms, I hate cleaning them.

For some reason when I empty the dryer fuzz I throw it on the ground. My husband will sweep it out of the laundry room, but he stops short of picking it up. There's a sheet of gray fuzzy hanging out in the corner between the garage and laundry doors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418160 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:22:40 +0000 HLK208 1418160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The tubs and showers need to be cleaned badly.

We barely cleaned it when we moved in, and considering that we had to bench press the dryer to get it to fit in there, I don't imagine us cleaning it again until either the washer or dryer breaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418123 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:13:25 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1418123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bathroom is an issue here as well. </p> <p>Who am I kidding.

We only have people stay with us and they use the bathroom for like 1-2 days max. I do always go in and wipe down the surfaces and clean the toilet before the next guest comes, but actual like scrubbing….? :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dirty-little-secrets#post-1418105 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 14:10:00 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1418105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...dirty, literally. </p> <p>I just looked under our bed, and found a dust bunny the size of my LO. </p> <p>Where in the house do you slack on cleaning? No judgement here! </p>
