Blind people cleaning

[Frankie Babe]

This is a genuine question and I don't mean to offend anyone but how do blind people manage to keep their houses clean?

I ask because I cleaned the bathroom yesterday and thought I did a pretty good job of it. But this morning I noticed a couple of tricky bits of mould that I had missed. I was wondering how someone without sight would know what was dirty and what wasn't.

i would think they get a cleaner in to do it,home help etc

It is done by routine - always clean the same thing in the same way, in a grid pattern, so hopefully nothing is missed.

Touch plays a big part too - you can generally 'feel' scum on the bath, for example.

But of course - they can't see the cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Most blind people who live alone are independent and look after themselves.
