The last time we wrote about the Facebook group 'Things designed by people who don't have to clean them', it had 40,000 members. But since then, this online community has more than doubled and is approaching the 100,000 mark, so it's about time we release an update on them.

"The design and maintenance of our spaces are deeply political," the group writes in its 'About' section. "The entire point of 'Things designed by people who don't have to clean them' is that those who design and those who maintain are not the same. Because we spend most of our time in designed spaces this disconnect has a huge impact, especially on those who traditionally don't have power in society."

So they're here, shaking things up, trying to remind everyone about the hidden tax attached to Swarovski-encrusted toilets and rock-covered sinks, and that is the amount of headache and time people will spend cleaning them.

For our earlier article, we got in touch with the founder of the group, Will Feetham. He described the content you see on 'Things designed by people who don't have to clean them' as design-focused critical analysis.

Even though it has grown tremendously, the group remains private and you have to answer a few political questions to get in. Feetham has had pushback from the applicants about this as the group seems anything but political, however, he believes that the design and maintenance of our spaces are deeply political. "The entire point of 'Things designed by people who don't have to clean them' is that those who design and those who maintain are not the same," he told Bored Panda. "Because we spend most of our time in spaces [designed by others], this disconnect has a huge impact, especially on those who traditionally don't have power in society."

It's easy, take the stuff off the toilet and throw it in the washer, the more softener the better. How do I know this, you ask? I cleaned my grandmother's bathroom like this for years. I still kinda love the look, don't hate but it brings me back. 😊

Aunties loved it and your mother-in-law (that was not a has-been but more like a never-was). I was 12 at the time, she was still only a neighbour, but I remember there used to be a massive ashtray on a small sidetable, a cigarette dispencer, a heavy lighter, a red lipstick and some art magazines next to the toilet. And an grand art deco mirror hanging so you could see yourself sitting there! That's now even weirder now, if you are too young to know. Even the toiletpaper rolls wore matching hats. 🙅

Been looking at houses in and around Pittsburgh. Probably, like 5% in the price range in looking in has at least one carpeted bathroom. Seen it in a couple of kitchens, too. One place I was looking at last month was super frickin weird where it had a carpeted kitchen, living, main floor bath, and dining room, but the bedrooms had hardwood. I was stumped, to say the least.

"Looking at bad design helps highlight the importance of good design, and thinking about who will clean what we design makes us focus on the importance of inclusion in the design process. As a tag group, we can inject a bit of thought about these issues into a lot of different conversations which makes me so happy."

Feetham got the idea for the group from a picture of a topographical relief sink modeled after a lake, which he has been told is in the California state library. "It's beautiful, and the concept is both insightful and educational. In the execution, though, the designer didn't consider the people who would have to clean the installation. Clearly, a lot of thought went into the concept, but that thoughtfulness doesn't seem to have extended to maintenance. 'Things designed by people who don’t have to clean them' just popped into my head."

As you could guess, Feetham himself doesn't like cleaning. "As a cisgender man in our patriarchal culture, I have been allowed to do less than my share of household chores at many points in my life," he said. "Equality is deeply important to me, and I have come to understand the many ways, large and small, that the caring and cleaning work that forms the foundation of our daily existence is minimized."

According to him, our society tends to devalue the invisible service class, who are often women and people of color. So they are left to pick up the pieces, literally, and tend to the performative aesthetics of our consumer culture.

(it does have a drain, it’s just hard to see under the bubbles) it’s flat, theres ridges in it that go about an inch deep into the sink to resemble rock or something. It’s obviously covered in grime and soap residue. Might have been cool in someone’s house, but not in a public bathroom like this

I doubt that is cat turd because cats like to bury their turds and I bet strays can find nice sandy spot to do their business. I'm not saying it' impossible, I've seen a cat poop on a yard and just leave it there but that kitty was oddball in other ways and didn't behave like a normal cat at all.

What is that string for? There is an inage indicating like you'll get struck by lightning or maybe electrocuted if you pull it.

It's a vase. It doesn't need to be absolutely clean inside. Use some vinegar and backing soda or denture cleaner tablets.

Uh... throw them in the washer, maybe? Just wait for it to be a warm day and they'll be dry again in no time *shrug*

So, you bought it, it got soaked by the rain, and was never the same again? Am I on the right track there?

This doesn't look hard to clean. I'll bet all the seat cushions are removable.......and the covers can be thrown in an industrial washer. Then all you have to do is wipe down the hard structures with cleaning fluid.

OK, take a thick hand towel, get it sopping wet, heat up the "maker" place the wet towel on it close the lid and leave it for a couple of minutes, turn off maker and then wash with soapy water and then rinse.

This could be good for someone doing physical therapy--it's essentially an adjustable hand weight.

I have something similar for my dad who is frail to avoid slipping. Clean with a good soak in bathtub using bleach and hot water. Not a real effort if done regularly.
