All I want to do is run in there, interrupt the date, and scrub away. And there&#8217;s actually rules about how clean to keep the pods.<\/p>\n<p>They reuse the same pods every season, and there&#8217;s quite a few each year. The cast are all flown into Los Angeles for this part of filming, but we have to give the cleaners credit where it&#8217;s due, because that suede and velvet material literally marks with a single touch.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIsBlindNetflix\/comments\/1x705is\/lib_season_11_you_cant_unsee_it\/\">LIB Season 11 -You can\u2019t unsee it<\/a><br \/> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/No_University_346\/\">u\/No_University_346<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIsBlindNetflix\/\">LoveIsBlindNetflix<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>One person said on Reddit: &#8220;The shoes on the couch is disturbing.

And it turns out the cast members are instructed to clean up after themselves each time they use a pod, and are responsible for their own laundry, etc.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIsBlindNetflix\/comments\/1fwfry0\/anyone_else_disgusted_by_their_use_of_the_stools\/\">Anyone else disgusted by their use of the stools for both eating and propping their feet on?<\/a><br \/> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/FallingFallon27\/\">u\/FallingFallon27<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIsBlindNetflix\/\">LoveIsBlindNetflix<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been reported that cleaners do tidy up the pods once they&#8217;ve been used. Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/tudum\/articles\/love-is-blind-pods\">Tudum<\/a> that, since the original renderings, slight alterations have been made \u2014 for instance, the walls were originally \u201cslightly extended into the floor\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, the original function and spirit of the pods haven\u2019t changed. \u201cWe wanted to provide an environment for people where they would literally have no distractions,\u201d he said. \u201cWe wanted it to be comfortable to conversation \u2014 a place where they could get cozy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Once contestants arrive at the premises, Coelen said there\u2019s only 10 days of shooting, which means everyone\u2019s living and breathing that pod life. But what happens outside those four walls is that singles have to go back to the lounges if they want to use the toilets.<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip
