Everyone with a bedspread death wish, check in here!

[oogieboogie]

Count me and my family in as bedspreads users. I do fold them down when I'm ready to sleep since I can't stand the polyester feel of it. But the kids roll around in them, make tents out of them, and sleep all over them.

I'm a proud bedpread user, member of the No Lysol group, charter member of the Say No to Remote Control in Plastic Bag association, and member of the No Squatting in Public Restrooms Toilet group.

 

[GEM]

Yeah! I knew there were others out there like me!

I hereby induct you all into the Secret Order of the Comforter People. Sleep well, my brave friends.

The first thing I do when we walk into our room is plop down on the bed and grab the remote to turn on the TV (still miss the "zip a dee doo dah tip for today"). No sanitizing, sterilizing, or anything close to cleaning will be done by me, in this room.

I do fold down the bedspread, as much for the scratchy feel as any scary microbes that may be present. We have sturdy little immune systems in this family...probably from years of living life on the edge!

The human body is built to ward off, fight, and build up immunities towards germs, we have become such a germ phobic society, that we are doing more harm than good. I'm not saying we should wallow in filth, but to concern yourself with every little exposure to germs, can prevent your body from building it's own defenses.

I don't worry about what I can't control...especially after the 1st time I caught my 2yr old daughter using my toothbrush to 'help mommy clean the toilet'.

Sounds like us, expect we take our shoes off first, walk around barefeet to the bed, grab the remote, then plop down on the bed. Sometimes DSs will lay down on the carpet too!

 

[Rozzie]

Ah! I love plopping down right on the bedspread and spreading out and turning on wdw info channel. and I am a nurse!

life is too short to worry about bedspread germs.... my dh and I must have toxic immunities!

 

[hugsquared]

If I can go to the grocery store and Walmart several times a week and touch those cart handles, I'm not going to let a bedspread bother me.

Amen and hallelujah sister.
I'm a nurse on a med-surg floor. If I even began to describe the things that have found their way onto my uniform/shoes...and stayed there until I could get home...you would all give me a wide berth if you saw me coming your way. After that, the bedspeads seem almost sterile. I plop right down on them and never give it a second thought...and I've made to 38.

 

[dcgrumpy]

I do, and I also walk barefoot in the room and let my kids walk barefoot too

 

[hugsquared]

The only thing I won't do is use someone elses toothbrush.

The first time my DH and I went away on a trip together, he forgot his toothbrush and just picked mine up and went to town. My first thought was "eewwwww....now what do I brush my teeth with?" But after thinking it over properly...I do kiss that nasty mouth of his...and we do rinse the brush out after each use. Now I wouldn't use anyone elses, but now we often just pack one. Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure I've already got his cooties

Count me in as a member of your club. And I don't use those scratchy paper cover things that slide off as you attempt to sit on them on the toilet seat either!! (ps when I was a kid my mom made me use those paper toilet seat cover things!!!! But no more!!!)

Ok, this doesn't have anything to do with Disney, but it does have to do with bedspreads. We stayed in a hotel last summer that allows dogs, and my DH got a tick bite from him sitting on the nasty bedspread! I never sat on it! Icky! It was a pretty nice hotel too, about $150 a night!

 

[Ladyhawke10]

Add me to the list! I used to make my family crazy not letting them touch the bedspreads. It got to be so much work. I was exhausted at the end of the week. So now I am less crazy about it, not thrilled, but not crazy. My family is much happier.

Here! Here!

 

[jenndisney]

Joining the club!

But I must admit, I do take a can of Lysol and spray the phone and such. Just a habit I picked up from my mom. I may just spray the bedspread, if I think of it.

I guess you must die of something sometime, and if I catch it at Disney, well, that makes it more magical.

Here here!

I do not worry about such things! We have got to be one of the healthiest families around too! Not a single cold this winter! (Well, I have some health isuues, but thats different, they aren't from germs)
Now my neighbor is a clean freak, always wiping things off, cleaning with bleach, etc. and they are always sick over there. I wonder why that could be????? LOL
Sorry, but I'm in the germs are your friends group!

 

[colleen costello]

We like to live on the edge too! We always use the spreads. Can't help it because we turn down the AC really cold at night and we NEED that spread, even if it is skanky!

When we check in I look it over. If I have remembered to pack it, I spray the heck out of everything with Lysol, which is probably loads more toxic than anything on the spread... If the spread had some obvious goop on it I'd call for a clean one but usually we just go for it! Incindentally, I am a nervous Nellie with lots of phobias but I like the "If you can't see it it won't hurt you" plan on vacation.

 

[Rootskate]

Honestly, the only thing I do is make sure the bedspread is half folded down when we get in bed at night. (For whatever reason, I seem to think that as long as it doesn't touch our faces, we will be okay and live to see another day.) But other than that I dont give it a second thought. I worry about enough stuff every day at home! I don't want to have a bird over a bedspread at DisneyWorld!!

 

[BethC1952]

I taught kindergarten for 10 years. I had all kinds of body fluids (and an occasional solid rubbed on me, and never had anything worse than a cold, and not even many of those. I don't worry about germs anywhere else these days!

[MomofKatie]

I don't wipe off the top of my can of corn before I open it for lunch at the MK.

Oh, my gosh! I just laughed so hard, I snorted real loud! DH looked at me, saw that I was reading DIS boards, did one of these , and went back to his book.

Count me in as a proud Bedspread Club member!

 

[Micca]

No worries

 

[goodferry]

Add me to the club, we lay on the bedspreads, sleep with them on and walk around barefoot. I don't even give it a thought
