Do you think cleaning the house is tiring or do you find it as a way of relaxation?

I honestly think it’s a bit tiring, it’s not something I like very much to do. I usually clean deeply when I’m having guests (every 3-4 days) since I want them to see a clean and tidy place.
When I’m not having guests I just do basic chores and they don’t give me any relaxation, since I usually come home very tired from work.

If I have to find something relaxing, I’d prefer washing dishes or cooking.

I love the house being super clean , but honestly I hate cleaning it , I'm just working on getting a new cleaner , I just get monthly then that way I clean prior to them coming , they do an awesome clean , and dont waste their time with the stuff I did , then when they have gone --WOW ! Love it.

Just ordered a decent vacuum cleaner yesterday too , awaiting delivery Lazarda.

I like house cleaning because it's finite. Unlike my job, where there will always be more work tomorrow, when I put the dishes away, they are all put away. When I dust, room by room, they all get dusted. It's a task that gets complete. I can take pride in the work I have done.

As an Administrator might I suggest you change the category you've put this under.

[Kulotz]

@Kulotz

You're most welcome... And thank you for your extremely prompt reply and attention.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

[RebelinSteel]

A lot depends which bit of house work, I hate ironing with a passion.

Vacuuming, washing dishes, laundry as in the washing n drying clothes fine with that.

Some of it is fairly relaxing, unless just as you finish tidying up, one of your cats is sick…

[D_Bone_Steak]

I clean as I go... it's just part of not sitting on my ass all day. I don't find it tiring or relaxing. It's just something that needs to get done... like brushing my teeth, or washing my balls.

Yes, I washed my balls

[HawkPerception]

Definitely not relaxing in any way to me 😂

Would I choose to go for a hike over cleaning? Yes.

Would I choose to take a nap over clean? Yes.

Would I choose to cook over clean? Yes.

Would I choose to watch to watch a show over clean? Yes.

All are more relaxing.

I will try to explain as best as I can
It is exhausting as a thought.
As a process it is cathartic and as an end result it gives me relief.

[andreasderjuengere]

It's actually quite relaxing to watch the Missus doing it :D

As she's fully of the local culture - I don't fully agree with what she considers to be ''house cleaning''. Therefore, I fully detached myself from it so that we will not argue too frequently.

[RingOfFire]

SOMETIMES I like doing the dishes since it is a mindless activity and I can feel like I am accomplishing something without using my brain. But I usually only enjoy it if everything else on my todo list is even worse so it helps me procrastinate without so much guilt.

[SotiCoto]

I've got no problem with cleaning my home in theory... but I hate the fact that it feels like all my work is undone overnight. The amount of time and effort I'd put into it is grossly disproportional to how long any of it actually remains clean.
So in practice I tend to just leave it. I mean my home 2 days after cleaning and 2 weeks after cleaning tend to be much the same.

[bobby_bush_eater]

It depends it can be both. Sometimes I'm tired and I look at a mess and I'm think "oh fuck me"...

Sometimes though I'll watch YT or listen to an audiobook and it's fine and I feel productive. I also plan to do it sometimes knowing I'll be doing it and that's also usually better

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'd say its more just light maintenance, not exausting but not relaxing either, about as much effort as personal hygeine, pet care, or making food.

I'm a relatively tidy person though, so cleaning is not much work.

[Anonymous]

Find it funny guys are answering more, but I'm not sexist. I do when I just got off of work, and I'm hungry, but you see dogshit on the floor from the new Yorky puppy, dishes are scattered in the sink because your SO had the important meeting and woke up late after eating breakfast. The trash needs to be brought to the curb becausr the pool guy didn't show up because he's a putz, and the AC is off for some reason.

[HighValue]

I find it to be very easy, but repetitive and boring. I usually put on music while doing it so it isn't as boring.

[7Phoenix7]

For me cleaning feels good. Sometimes it can get tiring but it still feels nice cleaning... stress relieving even... and satisfying.

[midnightmoon05]

I don’t like it…so we just get a cleaning girls every two weeks…hubby put stuff away other times… so we have time to relax.

[sheikalana]

It can be tiring if you're in a rush. I clean the house when I know I don't have to be anywhere at a certain time and no one is going to bother me.

[NathanDavis]

I do find some tiring stuff... to be very relaxing

[northerngal]

Funny I find cleaning to be strangely meditative... its a cleaning zen I get into.

[DishLady]

It depends. Some tasks are relaxing. Others require a bit more thought and can be tiresome.

[BonzoInBitburg]

It's a stress reliever for my wife but I find it exhausting. So I keep her stressed lol

[PBandJ_Nerd]

For me it's both. It's tiring and relaxing at the same time.

[red324]

Pain in the ass. My dog makes a mess of everything. Knocks shit off the counters onto the floor. I swear stuff gets picked up 3 times before it gets to the trash can.

[Alex-Snow]

When I help out or just do it myself I put on some earbuds, listen to some great music and just go at it... kinda chills me out somehow How about you?

[Anonymous]

I actually find it relaxing and rewarding. I love my house clean and organized, and don't mind the effort it takes to keep it that way.

[exitseven]

Itis relaxing except when I have too many other things to do.

[DrPepper12]

Relaxing and tedious but I feel productive with that shine and smell.

[Kit_Kat88]

I hate cleaning most of the time. I’d probably want a maid when I settle down

[Knightwatch27]

I enjoy and need for my house to be clean and in order, so while I may not relax when cleaning I am very relaxed after.

[ICanSmellTheCosmos]

If it's one repetitive chore that takes a while, then, yes, it can be relaxing, because I'm basically on auto-pilot.

[LiamS95]

I don't find it relaxing but it's not tiring either it's just a chore that needs to be done.

[Iron_Man]

Not a fan bending over, scrubbing the floor doing touchups

[Anonymous]

I don't have the energy or motivation to do anything besides lay in bed and drink alcohol until I run out, then work just long enough to buy more

[Angie03]

Relaxing I do it daily but room daily. After school.

[thisAppIsGarbage]

I find it a worthy chore for my wife one I reward her with if she does it well.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

When I’m alone in the house, yes

[TonyMetal___86]

It's a woman's job, i don't know a thing about it

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Tiring. I hate cleaning.

[Loner111]

Stress reliever and relaxing

[MasterKS]

Why its in sexuality category?

[Kulotz]

[MasterKS]

[Billlewis]
