Re: Household Chore You HATE!

I'm with you @Katcat1 on this.  I could clean my house all day long -- don't mind it a bit -- but ironing is a different story.  I detest it and, like you, do it one piece at a time.  Woman Very Happy

Re: Household Chore You HATE!

I hate cleaning the bathrooms, especially the commode and shower door when it builds up with lime and calcium deposits.  It's so hard to get off.  (We have hard water where we live.)

Least favorite to clean is the toilet. If I do not clean them, husband never would  unless I ask......so I always do it.

Re: Household Chore You HATE!

Ironing and laundry are the only household chores I don't mind.  

 

It helps that my husband and I clean/straighten up after ourselves daily, and that he is helpful with all the other chores.

 

The day is fast approaching when we will need to hire someone to help with the more physically taxing chores. 

 

I hate dusting...I have been known to write messages on tabletops!!...

Re: Household Chore You HATE!

I absolutely detest doing laundry. Even worse when we are at our summer camp and I have to drag it to the campground laundry where half the machines never work. Sometimes I get disgusted with it and just go into town to the public laundromat, but it is much more expensive.

Oddly - I don't mind ironing, though it is difficult with my back so it is iron a little - rest a little and makes for slow progress. 

If I had to clean my own house that would be all I do all day every day as it takes me forever. Thank goodness I have help with the housework - all I do are the daily chores like making the bed - cook & clean up the kitchen etc. My DH actually enjoys vacuuming since we got a Dyson so he does it every few days. God Bless him. Now , if I want to use the vacuum for anything I have to ask his permission to use "his" dyson.

Cleaning the bathroom. I haven't been able to kneel for years, and the "helper" extensions are less than helpful AFAIC.

Re: Household Chore You HATE!

Dusting and grocery shopping - you have to handle the groceries so many times before putting away in the cupboard, refrigerator, freezer, etc.
