I love to sleep on sheets that have bee line dried on a sunny day. It is one of life's simple pleasures.

LMAO @NicksmomESQ

As a psychology student, I often wonder what forms our opinions about cleaning.

My mother and grandmother were of the tradition of keeping house, so it was something I was around from the very beginning and started helping as soon as I could stand on my own.

Not knowing anything different, it's just something that needs to be done.

I do get a sense of calm when my house is clean. It's always neat and tidy, but I do enjoy a good deep cleaning once or twice a year.

Laundry is a necessary evil. Even though we don't live in an HOA we aren't allowed to have an outside line to dry clothes. City code.

Cleaning and keeping an immaculate house was a religion in our family. That being said,as I age I hate to clean, love to cook though and don't mind cleaning up after that, although my husband or son will usually do the dishes if I cook. My husband also does the laundry and does a much better job than I ever did.

I could have written your words @VaBelle35 although my definition of neat might not be the same as yours. We only do dishes once a day so the kitchen isn't what it should be, but I believe in conserving water. For laundry, three loads a week is it except when washing rugs and blankets on those two deep cleaning weekends.

Oh, Pooky, I agree! I love doing a load of whites in bleach and soap and enjoying how clean and fresh it smells after.

I hate laundry, I hate dusting, I hate cleaning, but I'm a clean freak so I have to continue on. Just finished washing mattress pad, sheerts, blanket. It only took half the day.

Nothing better than fresh, clean sheets that have been outside all day! And what makes them even better is taking a hot shower or pampering bath before crawling into those sheets! Ahhh! :-)

@VaBelle35

I understand what you mean about that sense of calm in having a clean house. In fact, whenever I'm really upset about something I find myself cleaning like a crazy. I guess it's my way of trying to create peace and calm out of the madness.

Before I had a self cleaning oven, I used to take out my aggressions on my oven.

Now it's my floors. LOL

I take out my stress by weeding. Fortunately(?) I have a never ending supply.

I love doing laundry! I really like most all housework.

I find it very satisfying to clean, arrange and care for the things we work so hard to have. I feel a sense of duty to honor the things we have been blessed with ( a home, nice furnishings, a decent car etc.) by taking good care of them, and I enjoy the process of doing so.

@Pooky1

I know! Laundry is the ONLY household chore that I don't mind and even enjoy! The rest ---- forget it! I hate cleaning --- especially dusting!!!
