# Bathrooms

Shared bathrooms need special attention: they are cleaned at need, and at least twice per week (see [Cleaning](/protocols/household/cleaning.md)).

## Daily Use

* Clean up after yourself immediately: wipe splashes from the sink, counter, and mirror.
* Remove hair from the drain after each shower.
* Ventilate during and after showers to prevent mold — open the window when possible.
* Hang towels and bathmats to dry; don't leave wet towels on the floor.
* Keep showers reasonably brief: water is a precious resource here.
* Use biodegradable soaps and shampoos — our drains feed back into the land (see [Grey Waters](/protocols/household/grey-waters.md)).
* Flush only toilet paper, nothing else.
* If you use the last of the toilet paper, replace it; if supplies are running low, tell the stewards.
* Turn off the lights when leaving.

## Cleaning (at need, at least twice per week)

1. **Toilet** — clean the bowl with brush and cleaner; wipe seat, lid, exterior, and flush handle.
2. **Sink and mirror** — clean the basin, wipe the counter, remove spots from the mirror.
3. **Shower** — scrub the floor and walls, clean soap dishes, check the drain.
4. **Floor** — sweep and mop, including corners and behind the door; leave it dry.
5. **Finish up** — empty the rubbish bin, restock toilet paper and soap.

Bathroom cleaning is part of the shared home-care routine coordinated during the lunation. If you notice a bathroom needs cleaning outside the schedule, just do it.

## Report to the Stewards

* Leaks, clogs, or a running toilet
* Persistent mold or moisture
* Broken fixtures or missing supplies
* Problems with hot water

Clean bathrooms are one of the clearest signs of a community that cares for itself — thank you for doing your part.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.liminalvillage.com/protocols/household/bathrooms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
