Least and Most Favorite Household Chores

**Ophelia** · 08-25-2007, 06:01 PM

My least favorite hands down, is laundry. It's not so much the putting into the washer and dryer, but the folding and putting up that I hate. I also loathe ironing.

My favorite is making the bed. It's fairly easy and upon completion improves the appearance or the room 100%, which satifsies my need for immediate gratification.

Vacuuming. It's a lot of work, got to get the stupid vacuum cleaner out, go all over the house, and then empty out the dust. Despite seeing what's apparently been sucked up in the bag, the room looks no different.

**MissyO** · 08-25-2007, 09:12 PM

D'ya know, I'm anti-making the bed of a morning. Find it a ridiculous concept.

My least favourite: Chucking shlt out. I'm terrible at de-junking. I'm a friggin pack rat.

Most favourite: You don't wanna know this but........ Probably scrubbing the bathroom. Scary, I know, but there's something about making stuff shiny that appeals to me. And where better than the bathroom.

Having said that, I'm one of the laziest people in existence. I live like a Rockstar, yo!

I like cleaning the bathroom. I agree, there's something rewarding about cleaning those smooth surfaces. My bathroom is black tiles, and the difference in shininess between clean and not is huge.

I like polishing the furniture but I hate scrubbing baseboards.

Worst; ironing although I hardly ever do it. The bathroom; too much tiling and ceramic and the only way is to get naked and climb around the bathtub (actually, that part's fun).

Best; clearing out junk. I love getting rid of cutter and mess. If my rubbish bins are full, I'm happy. (By rubbish bins, I also mean the recycling bins and charity shop bags too).

Worst, cleaning the litterbox.

Best, Taking out the garbage..I love throwing stuff out

Y'all probably already know this, but I just thought I'd share anyhow: Baking Soda works wonders as a cleaner. Just dissolved the soap scum on my bench in seconds, and left the chrome all sparkling.

One thing I found out by accident, Coca Cola cleans up the crud that accumulates in your cup holder in the car. I spilled some there once and when I wiped it up a minute later, all of the crud buildup was gone.

I never make the beds!We do everything in the bed(eating,talking,studying....) so it wouldn´t make sense to make it!
I don´t have a problem with cleaning to house but I hate,hate,hate vacuuming it makes me aggressive!

Favorite: washing clothes. Everyone loves clean clothes. Folding and putting away laundry, I could do without that. I will have a mountain of clean stuff before I fold it and put it away.

Worse than putting away laundry is steam cleaning the carpets. That's an all-damn-day job.

I've just discovered that if you forget you've done a load of washing and leave it in the washer for a couple of days it comes out with a very sweet hint of mildew odour.

**Jocasta** · 09-14-2007, 01:58 AM

You only just discovered that?

Blackmask · 09-14-2007, 02:45 AM

Generally I need whatever is being washed so when the washing machine is on it normally has my full attention.

**open32** · 09-14-2007, 05:14 AM

Cleaning the tolet of bath tub is annoying. Both are done on hands and knees.

Also doing the dishes. The sink is always to low and it makes you back hurt. Vacuuming I dont mind because it doesnt have to be done so much where it annoys me and usually the broom vacuum deals with it.

Ironing sounds bad, though I dont own an Iron.

Sinks are at the perfect height. You must be too tall.

Sadly, I know this only too well.

You are doing laundry way too regularly if you aren't waiting for the clothes to wash and wearing them still damp.

^ That's my current philosophy, too!
