Are you Ashamed of Being a Toilet Cleaner?

Updated on March 16, 2024

I share my experiences, my emotions and believe in myself. I am positive, confident and love life.

Toilet cleaners

A toilet cleaner is sometimes shunned in society. I know of an individual who cleans toilets and is a professional cleaner. She is less confident due to her position.

It is difficult for her to get on with her co-workers and it makes her feel less worthy and less talkative. I would feel kind of different if I were a cleaner permanently.

It may sound disgusting to you, but to me, I think being a toilet cleaner is a fair job. Sometimes finding the job you want is out of your reach.

The person may just like to be a toilet cleaner. I would not disrespect anyone who is a toilet cleaner. I would disrespect those who disrespected that person's position.

Some people look down on toilet cleaners and that is not fair to anyone who cleans toilets. I know of another individual who will not clean her home toilets and has never attempted toilet cleaning. Instead, she has a maid to keep the toilets clean.

She does not feel that cleaning toilets should be the job of any woman in the house. It can feel like a step back from your qualifications if you settle for toilet cleaning. Also, it depends on your options and what you must put up with in finding a better job.

To just have a job right now is better than not having one according to how the unemployment is going on. People should think of how bad times can be and that without a job, life is not easy.

At some point, they must swallow their pride and take what is there for them. To make ends meet, it is difficult to choose what is right for you or what is not right for you.

· ''Beggars can't be choosers.''

In tough situations, everything applies to you. Being a toilet cleaner is not always appreciated and is not noted as a respectable job.

I know this from when I was working as a Chambermaid. I did not care what others thought of me and at my workplace, I was treated differently in comparison to others.

Unfortunately, living in a foreign country my qualifications did not matter to a company. I had no choice but to work as a Chambermaid for four seasons.

While working as a Chambermaid, one day used a toilet close by as I was in a rush to get back to work after a ten-minute break. A woman saw me come out of the toilet and closed the door hurriedly. She was not very pleased to see me use that toilet.

Her words to me were as follows:

· ''You should not use that toilet.''

I was quite surprised. I knew right away what those words meant to me. I should have been using another toilet for Chambermaids.

Cleaning toilets do make one feel down and different in the workplace. I was disappointed with the way she addressed the situation and with her words. Nobody should be ashamed of being a toilet cleaner.

Snobs feel they are higher and do not need to greet a toilet cleaner. Those who choose to be toilet cleaners work very hard to keep the place nice and clean.

· A woman in her forties and is a toilet cleaner should she be ashamed of her job at her age?

Any job position has value so do not despair.

· If you are getting your bills paid why bother?

Most people had to start somewhere with a job irrespective of what they had known. Educated or not they had to have a job. In many cases, a toilet cleaner was their only option, and most remained in that position for many years.

It does not mean that the individual is stupid if they are toilet cleaners. Getting the job, you always wanted does not always come your way.

· Are you cleaning toilets at home and still cooking your meals?

· Do you think a woman should not clean their home toilets and cook meals?

Some people do not like cleaning their home toilets never mind any other public toilet. Being a toilet cleaner is not always a choice for many women.

They tend to stay on the job due to the lack of education or other responsibilities. I have seen many women who have no choice but to clean toilets for a living.

· What do you think about being a toilet cleaner?

· Would you befriend a toilet cleaner?

· Would you treat a toilet cleaner differently in the workplace?

· Are you ashamed of cleaning toilets or of others looking at you dressed up in that kind of a uniform?

Toilet cleaners come across many people in the day and most do not feel worthy of themselves. Most of the toilet cleaners are not proud of their jobs.

Any bad experience in life can push you down from a high life and cleaning toilets can be the only option to make ends meet.

· Is being a toilet cleaner an embarrassing job for you?

Stay-at-home mothers must have a dilemma to clean their toilets, mainly if they do not like getting their hands dirty.

Cleaning toilets should not make you feel embarrassed or out of place at any time. Every person must work, and every job has its purpose.

You can only do what you can to make your life easy to live by and to make your life a better one. A job is needed, and you must get by from day to day. Toilet cleaners should not look down on or feel less worthy of them.

You cannot change the way things are, but you can be that better person, and be happy with your job and accept others in no matter what they do for a living.

Do what you enjoy and want to do for a living, not what will make you feel miserable and unhappy. Anyone can be a toilet cleaner whether you are ready for that change or not and so much can change in the workplace.

Staying unemployed does not give you the options you need. Earn an honest living from your honest job. Toilet cleaning is not for everyone. Some people choose to clean toilets while others will not give it a second thought.

The woman who is a toilet cleaner should appreciate she has a job.

Every person has their own opinions about cleaning toilets.

· What is your opinion?

I would like to know your comments on this hub.

I must keep our home toilets clean daily and it is part of what I do around my home.

Most individuals do not see it that way, their hands are too special to clean their own toilets, and it is sometimes a ridiculous thought that flushes through their minds. I use gloves and do a thorough cleaning.
