Question : As I am severely OCD even with medications and counseling, please help me and calm me down with the following query. I suddenly have this doubt that when the toilet is flushed, the toilet plume may have touched or entered the washing machine and nearby surfaces. Can you pls see the attached photo and confirm that toilet plumes will not have gone into the washing machine ever?

Hello thanks for using ask a doctor service

I can understand your problem. The thoughts are due to OCD only. If we come to this particular issue then as per photo there is a good distance between toilet and washing machine. It not possible that toilet plume touched the washing machine.

Please describe your symptoms in detail for better help.

Thanks

Thanks. My symptoms are fear, anger and worry due to extreme n severe doubting. I tried meditation, medication n counseling but to no avail. Pls confirm if bleach fumes, methylated spirit, benzoyl chloride and antibacterial soap together enough to perfectly clean n kill semen/sperm on any floor surface area. I have been trying to clean that area since 6 months or so but still doubt it's perfect cleanliness. Pls help n calm me down. Thanks

Yes these have been cleaned properly.

Hello again

The stains are 6 months old and these have been cleaned completely. No need to get worried. Even after single cleaning with any good detergent can clean stains completely.

Thanks.
