Ok yeah, I can see the concern of bacteria, but dude, I'm BOILING it. if you keep it clean and wash it out every couple days there's no problem. I'm still alive aren't I? people in the world are consuming much worse water than that.

you wash your kettle every couple of days? :eek:

Sometimes I wonder how the fuck I'm alive at all all these rules we're supposed to be following

i'm totally with you on this. thank god i don't have to worry about this shit anymore.

haha I know, I can barely relate to any of these problems. Sometimes my kitchen is an utter disaster area- I hate washing dishes because I'm afraid of washing knives (I've cut myself more than once). I also have ADHD and mundane tasks like emptying the dishwasher take me FOREVER to convince myself to do, so by the time I empty the clean dishes, a whole pile of dirty ones has accumulated (I have the same problem with clean laundry-i DESPISE folding it and putting it away). but guess what? I live a alone! it's no one's problem but my own!

I've never cleaned mine like ya said, you boil water in it so it gets sterilised several times a day right?

that's always been my professional opinion .

I only really end up washing it because on the stove the outside of it ends up getting all covered in cooking oil and whatnot from whatever I've been cooking next to it, so I just wash out the inside too.

I hate when their is jelly in the peanut butter. I know that is crazy but I think it's gross.

people who nail carrots to their face.


i also hate things that have been opened and aren't covered with cling film when placed back into the fridge.

mostly the carrot thing freaks me out

why of course? if they're cooking for you, be grateful they're cooking for you. If they're not, where's the problem?

Besides, I find it adds to the flavour

Sorry, i hate smoking. Maybe, when i'm drunk i don't care, but not any other way

glad he's your ex-boyfriend, because thats just crazy.

As long as you are only boiling water, every couple of weeks is just fine.

all-natural peanut butter is healthy and has little to no sugar. many people don't bother to look for it though.

when someone uses the towel that everyone uses to wipe their hands for wiping their face. Also, leaving half full pop cans everywhere.

Me neither to be honest although, like GTD, I do clean the outside of it cos it gets pretty greasy... but not even on a monthly basis. It would never ever occur to me to clean the inside... although we've electric kettles... they're not so common in the US according to my housemate.

How about when someone uses a towel to wipe up some raw meat or chicken juice and then uses the same towel to dry a glass or some utensil. eww!

kettles should be given a limescale treatment every once in a while... thats the only cleaning i know of regarding the inside of a kettle..

cleaning it with a cloth will make it more dirtier, as Helen has already said, it boils water therefore it sorta cleans itself.
