16th street wins again






Again, 16th street is a real winner! I couldn't make this shit up if i tried. The soap dispenser had moldy scum ON THE NOZZLE!
Same shower stall had the mold growing along the side of the dispenser.

Cockroachs? figures.


Am i surprised to see roaches in the showers? No.
Was i surprised to see the same roach the next day? (or at least a roach in the same shower.) Again, not really. Its not as if anyone actually cleans the showers every night.

outside shower floor



You shower off with the super clean water and fancy clean soap and then they expect you to walk thru this crude to reach your locker.

bubble gum grows!


Remember the bubble gum wad i promised to follow? Well its growing. Its spawned plenty of baby piles all over Manhattan but this one is definitely the mother.

MORE SHOWER SOAP MOLD!


Its just too easy...i could post one of these a day and never run out.

gum on workout bench



I grabbed on to the bench yesterday and my fingers stuck to it!
I'm so baffled by the need to chew so much gum at this 16th street and 8th ave gym. first the growing glob in the showers, now the benches are gum covered too.
I'm attaching a picture of the bench so you can see what equipment i am talking about.

unused locker


this isn't as gross as some of the others but it left me laughing....i opened up a locker today and there was so much dust in the bottom. Obviously i picked the one locker no one has used since 2008.
Goes to show that Minimal Effort Housekeeping does not open lockers to look for old towels or 12 months of dust.

soap label bacteria


not as bad as this but still gross. The labels on the soap containers get so much bacteria growing in them, why do they even bother with the labels?!

more gum in the showers




What exactly is going on that mid-shower so many people need to get rid of their gum?

water


this picture does not do this justice. the water fountain has multicolored bacteria growing where the water comes out.

Gum filled drain


you know all that gum has three pounds of hair stuck to the other side of it. How could it not.

easiest to solve

this is one of the easiest problems to solve and consequently one of the most obvious signs that housekeeping is phoning in their job.

One a positive note, i was at the 41st and 8th ave location recently and the housekeeper removed all the soap dispensers from the showers, then cleaned. The showers did not look like petri dishes. That location is one of the best I've been to for clean locker rooms. He shows up to work with the intention of working and it really does show.

more shower curtain nasty!

when its rust, i can forgive them. Even cleaning agents will not stop the rust from forming. but this was not rust.

How could gum sit there so long it got moldy? thats creepy.

shower floor and wall



the wall picture looks a bit like modern art but its actually bacteria growing in the plastic dividers between showers. Spray with bleach before closing, rinse in the morning. Not that hard.

ceiling tiles



showers make steam.
steam leaves moisture.
moisture makes mold.

This photo does not do justice to this mold. It looks like rust but in person you can see it's greenish infectiousness.

dirty soap!



how does a soap dispenser get covered in mold?

gum wad


i wasn't going to complain about this wad of gum at first but its been there for several months.
I've watched it grow each week. If it continues to grow i will post progress.

showerhead


When you go to shower the water rubs against this brownish sludge and splashes all over you.
