Men who splash PEE

Some male guest pee with toilet seat up and it gets on the rim and floor. Do you tell your guests in anyway to clean up after themselves?  Do you provide this as a note in your house rules?

I've had 4 male guests and they all had that problem, it is gross. I decided only host women from now on

I just had my first potty-untrained grown up stay with us! We don't go into the bathroom our guests use until they leave or if they need something replenished. Needless to say, this guest only stayed two days but left a puddle of urine on the floor and all over the toilet. Not cool! He had left poop on someone else's toilet so I'm counting my blessings, I suppose. Cleaning fees are not sufficient for this kind of crap, no pun intended, IMO. 

 

Adding this new point to my profile now and a note in the bathroom since, yet again, the obvious has to be pointed out.

You don't know sh*t, until you have to clean out a composting toilet.

 

Chuckle.

 

One good thing though, it does not smell.

I keep telling people that, but you and @Sandra126 are the only ones that believe me.

You could try a humorous note:   "We aim to please.  Your aim will help"

 

Telling men that they should sit down to pee will not go down well with many men, especially those from the more macho cultures.

Seriously?  Do you have a cleaning fee?  That is what it is for.

If that is your goal, I suggest saying ''no men''. They wee standing up.

I think this question is probably posed by Penni, right?  The problem with a message that addresses "if you splash you  must clean" is the ambiance downer effect.  A more generic invitation to maintain the home's beauty and cleanliness in a note next to surface wipes might do the trick.  Then again it might not work because some people are dense...men with pee and women with make-up (how's that for sexist remark!).

 

We are in the  hospitality business with the general public and judging from your reviews, you have a very lovely public as guests.

@Linda108, they will flush the wipes and block the system!

@Sandra126  +1 ! that was my first thought. we don't provide any  cleaning wipes. we leave spray and a washable microfibre cloth. 

I have added that all guest sit while using the restroom. And then when we further our conversation I ask them to please read all the rules to make sure they agree. They then respond to an agreement. Outhouse usually stinks because of urine. If men sit to crap then they can sit to pee😂

Oops, if men and women sit to crap they can certainly sit to pee😂

Ugh.

I have it in my house rules as well as a picture sticker above the toilet.

Since I onlyhost 2 guests of which at least one has to be a female, the men are normally their partners and well-behaved.

@Andrea9, please post a picture of the ''no standing'' sign! I am imagining all kinds of things here. 🙂

Half as wild as you imagine! 

Somehow  I am not able to upload a photo in community,

but found the pictogram online again:

No pissoir

 

And underneath it I wrote: Sorry if this cramps your style. My house, my rules.
