I'd just explain it and put it out in the open, and just keep a pack of matches in the bathroom - light it up, and blow it out, and the smoke from the match gets rid of most of the smell...I've done it many many times with a dirty diapers!!

I'm married and I do most of the cleaning myself. My medical equipment is off limits, DH knows that he must never touch clean nebs and if he accidentally does he has to put it aside and tell me so I can sterilize. As for cleaning the apartment, I keep plenty of easy to use products and disinfectant handy so he does it the same way I would. I'm particularly insistent that he washes his hands when he arrives home and he is good about it. Other than that I can't expect him to think about germs all the time because he doesn't have CF.

Poop: he stinks more than I do. We leave the bathroom window open 24/7. Matches work best in a pinch.

Hey everyone...thanks for all your responses!

The good thing about my guy is that he knows his place is a wreck and himself is semi-disgusted with the dust and grime. So I think it's more of an issue of being a bachelor for so long and working all the time. I guess bottom line is that I just need to make it clear that it needs to maintain a certain level of cleanliness if he wants me hanging out there.

Haha, flush as you go, I like that idea. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/bathroom.gif" border="0">

Hi Haley,

If he can't keep his place clean, is it possible for him to come see you and hang out at your place (I didn't read all of the responses..in case this has been mentioned before).

Maybe it would best to kind of avoid his place if you can. I'd procede w/caution about cleaning his place. You might come across stuff you don't like (boys can be gross).

Maybe you could just help your man make it a habit of cleaning up after himself and then doing the 1 a week deep cleaning routine. Like bonniebaby said, I too do most of the cleaning around my house. If it gets to be too much, I hire someone. But typically until winter hits, I can do it myself with no problem.

And for the bathroom, Febreeze is my favorite, it's quiet when it sprays out of the can so it's not the obvious 'shhhhhhhhhh' sound of other sprays! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Candles are always good. You could just keep it burning, if the bathroom is in use or not.

Good luck and have fun with that new relationship!!!!!
