Re: POLL: Least favorite chore?

  • I hate mopping.  First I have to move all the chairs, trashcan, and rugs then vacuum and then finally mop.  And once the floor dries then I have to put everything back (after washing the rugs).

    I also don't like doing laundry because even though there are only two of us it seems like it's never done.

    I hate mopping. 

    Me too!  Hate it.   

    Also cleaning our master bathtub.  The finish is dull and we have to scrub it like crazy to get it clean.  I can't wait to get it reglazed this spring.

  • Anything that has to do with cleaning up food...washing or rinsing dishes, cleaning up spills, wiping the counter, cleaning out the fridge, etc. It just makes me feel dirty for some reason. Luckily DH and I have an agreement: he cleans the kitchen, I clean up after the dog. :) Ha, call me crazy, but I freaking hate food mess!
  • I hate cleaning pots and pans. Gross, especially if they're greasy. I feel like the sponge should just be tossed after one pan. I'd rather do anything than dishes. In our house, my H does most of the cooking and pots/pans. I do everything else.

  • Let's see....mopping/cleaning floors and laundry rank the highest on my list.  But I hate cleaning in general...it's a task, in itself, to push through it!
  • I hate cleaning the master tub - it's like a soap scum magnet for some reason and I have to really scrub to get it cleaned to my liking. We've started using a daily spray, so hopefully that will help.

    I also hate cleaning dusty fans. It's such a chore to move everything, cover the furniture, climb up there. Fortunately that only has to get done once a year.

  • scrubbing the tub/shower, hands down! I hate, hate, hate it. Even though it takes like 5 minutes, ha ha..

  • Washing anything that has food on it. And seeing a scrubby-thingy with food caked on it makes me gag. Just thinking of it....Ick!

  • Making the bed.

    I know that seems like a quick, easy task, but it is cumbersome.  You have to get the corners of the fitted perfect, then spread the top sheet so that it is even.  That's at least 4 trips around the bed.  Set the blanket and be sure that it is even on both sides.  Corner the bottom, and fold the top.  Toss the comforter on and then layer the pillows. 

    I do make my bed every day.

  • Any cleaning that entails the word bathroom!! :)  Thankfully, the husband takes care of that and I will do the balance of the condo.. to me, it's fair.

  • It's a tie between scrubbing our master bathroom shower stall and mopping .?

  • I hate doing the dishes, because less than 24 hours after you do them, they need to be done again.

    I also hate dusting. That stuff gets in my eyes and in my hair. Gross.

    General organizing is also a peeve of mine, because I suck at it.

  • I hate dusting because I'm allergic to it so I have to wear a mask which is hot because cleaning does work up a sweat sometimes!

    I also hate folding and putting away clean laundry. Sometimes clean dry clothes will sit in my dryer for days before I fold them!

  • Definitely cleaning the bathroom.... scrubbing grout really sucks. I HATE it with a fire-burning passion
  • I hate unloading the dishwasher, matching socks and putting laundry away.  The weird thing is that I don't mind loading the dishwasher or washing the laundry, just putting it all up!

  • I would say it is dusting.  Closely followed by mopping/sweeping.  I love when they are finished, but I have a hard time getting motivated to do it every week (though I do).  Unlike most of you ladies, though, I love doing laundry (I know I am weird)!
  • ditto VACUUMING... my make my husband do it and I sweep.
  • It used to be cleaning toilets, but with the disposable Scrubbing Bubbles thingys, I don't mind it so much now.  I do absolutely DESPISE vacuuming.  Although, I've never actually had a GOOD vacuum, only hand-me-downs, so they're never very good.

    My Bio

  • Used to be vacuuming, but DH gave me a roomba for Christmas and I LOVE running that thing! Least favorite is putting laundry away. I put it off for so long that it's a huge task.

  • Laundry. Particularly the putting away of the clean clothes.
