I’m a traveller with strict caravan rules – guests have to take ‘bleach baths’ before entering & you can’t eat inside
AN IRISH traveller has spilled the beans on the strict rules you allegedly have to follow if you want to enter her caravan.
The curly-haired beauty Zoey took to TikTok to explain what her guests need to do upon entering her home, including ensuring their feet are absolutely spotless.
According to the young woman, dirty feet are just one of the few things she doesn’t allow in her caravan – which is why the guests are forced to take drastic measure to keep them clean.
When you first arrive, Zoey will expect you to remove your footwear, as well as socks, before heading back outside where a bucket full of bleach will await you.
”Wash your feet before you step into my caravan and then you have to wash your hands in bleach,” she claimed in the video.
Washing any body part in diluted bleach is not recommended.
Once you have gained her permission to go back inside, you won’t be able to relax on any of the sofas or beds, the Irish traveller revealed.
”You have to sit on the floor,” explained Zoey who was fearing the guests would make the furniture ”dirty”.
Feeling hungry? There’s no eating or consuming liquids in her caravan either – even if it’s pouring down and you’re peckish, Zoey expects you to go outside and enjoy your snack.
”You’re not allowed to eat in my caravan, you’re not allowed to drink and even if it’s raining, you have to go stay under the umbrella and eat your food.
As explained by the stunner, who doesn’t cook in her home either, this is all to do with the food smells lingering around afterwards.
This is not the first time the young woman has given a glimpse into her life as a traveller – recently, she listed the things girls in her community aren’t allowed to do.
Some of these include an alcohol ban until they’re married, as well as no sleepovers with non-travellers.
There is also a no-smoke ban until the woman ties the knot – however, Zoey revealed that despite being married, she didn’t smoke as it’s a ”disgusting” habit.
The Irish traveller – who posts under the username @zoey_pon – also claimed that she wasn’t allowed to mix with those outside her community.
”You can mix with them in school – but outside school you’re not allowed,” she explained the rules.
Having a sleepover at a non-traveller’s house was also something she never bothered to ask permission for from her parents – as that ”would never happen in a million years”.
The young woman, who allegedly stopped going to school at 13, also believed there was no ”point” of studying.
Is it safe to use diluted bleach on skin?
The NHS has advice for using bleach baths specifically for eczema.
It says: “Skin can benefit from the antiseptic effects of a bleach bath (which is similar to chlorine in a swimming pool).”
But there are strict rules for making a bleach bath, and how long you spend in it. Read more here.
Cautions:
- Do not use undiluted bleach directly on the skin. If this occurs, rinse off immediately with lots of tap water
- Avoid getting dilute bleach water in your child’s eyes or in your eyes
- Do not swallow dilute bleach water
- Throw away or drain any unused bleach or bleach water right after each use
- Keep bleach bottle out of reach of children
- Do not use bleach baths with a known contact allergy to chlorine.
- Do not add bleach to a very hot bath, as this will produce fumes.
- Bleach may make the bath slippery so be careful.
- Bleach will cause bleaching of clothing and towels, so avoid contact with your favourite clothes and use white towels if possible.
“Because being a traveller, you’re never going to be able to get a job.”
More than 400 people flocked to comment on the clip which has been viewed over a staggering 600k on her page.
One wondered: ”How you supposed to live then like it’s supposed to be a home.”
Another chuckled: ”Best way making sure you [have] no visitors.”
”Why are people questioning you it’s how you live and it’s you’re [your] caravan,” someone else hit back at the haters.
