I hate the monthly deep clean I do in the kitchen, dining room, living room, and family room. All of the kitchen appliances and furniture in the room have to come forward so I can dust the baseboards and walls that are behind them.

I start with the same chore I do weekly: cleaning inside the refrigerator. I use vinegar on the glass shelves and that's usually enough to clean the smudges and food remnants off the glass.

Then I clean the baseboards and vacuum/sweep/mop the floors.

After that, I dust and clean the furniture in each room, which involves removing books from bookshelves. The books themselves often pick up a lot of dust, which I try to remove as best I can while focusing on the bulk of the dust on the shelves.

I do some organizing in each room, and I also inventory the food we have stored for emergencies. I make a list of food items we need to pick up and I post it on the refrigerator.

I like doing them all 😂😂 My boyfriend always tries to help me around the house but I politely tell him "no", because I know he doesn't do it as well as I do. When it comes to things like that, I do have a bit of a disorder 😞 The only thing I have a problem with, is cleaning the toilet he uses, because he has a problem hitting the bowl.

I live in a 3 story house by myself. I can't afford to hate any chores lol. Cleaning the house is rather therapeutic for me. I suppose the most annoying one would be getting rid of the mineral buildup in the toilets I don't use from evaporation. Only way to deal with it is by turning off the water and leaving vinegar soaked paper towels on the stains for a while. I now make it a habit to at least flush all of them once a day or so.

Probably cleaning the shower/bathtub. It’s awkward in terms of body positioning, I hate the feeling of Comet powder’s abrasiveness when I’m scrubbing, it’s like nails on a chalkboard for me, and I’m a psychopath so I use a little brush with stiff bristles between every inch of every tile with bleach solution to clean or prevent mildew, truly pre-crime behavior, lmao

FreyaRed · Answer

Toilets, bidet, bathtub and shower cleaning. Water contains lime and chemicals which dissolve limescale deposits are nasty, mostly acids or chlorine. I proposed once an ukrainian girl who cleans rooms in the clinic where I work to clean my home. 3-4 hours work two times in month for around 200$ wasn't bad offer but she declined after cleanings 2 times. Quality of her cleanings wasn't good. I used 365nm UV light in baths and it wasn't really clean, glass surfaces weren't clean either. She liked just to remove 2 hours long dust from my Murano glass collection then to walk around with vacuum cleaner remaining time.

I don’t like any chores. Thank goodness hubby does a few things in the house. I taught my teen kids to do some. Keep things orderly.
the rest we just hire out. It’s well worth the money. Our cleaning ladies does a great job and love coming home to an orderly, veal, tidy home. We also hire lawn guys… so that it’s easier on my hubby.

Dusting was a chore that once hated however I discovered it could be fun with a leaf blower & a lot easier as well. On the flip side I don’t use the leaf blower while dusting my old SONY Television with 1080p.

Shiprex · Answer

I find SOME reward in most household chores though I do find the gardening to be less rewarding than other stuff. Polishing wooden furniture was sometimes a drag too, I have to make it PERFECT before quitting and that was time consuming.

Actually gotta go clean the kitchen right now, so voting for that, lol.

Lynx122 · Answer

I think the worst is just dust getting everywhere. I don't mind vacuming but when you have a bunch of objects that get dusty, I don't like having to clean that at all. Other chores I'm kinda fine with, I've gotten used to them.
