What Housework Chore Do You Dislike the Most?

Other

Mine is changing the duvet but as i have already had a moan about that on here, my second worse is pulling out furniture (beds, sofas etc.) in order to hoover. I can't believe the amount of dust and fluff that accumulates in those places. It's mostly an age thing now as it didn't use to bother me when I was young and strong! 💪💪

Jerseydrew Totally agree with you here. I don’t mind generally it but there are days when it feels it is never ending. I like to keep on top of things like washing and ironing.

JLouM dishwasher is the way to go. It's one of those things, once you have one you can't do without it. Mine is about two thirds normal size and have had for 15 years.

Lynibis I have space for a slimline one but there are only 2 of us. My elderly parents have one but hardly ever use it, only if they have entertained which is rare these days. So probably not worth it to us. The one I use at work isn’t very good anyway and there is always something wrong with it.

JLouM there is only one of me lol but I fill and use it every day. Can't believe how much cutlery, plates and cups I use, not to mention pots and pans. I put my grids from hob and the pan rests too.

Lynibis That’s interesting. I might look into getting one. Are they a pain to clean though?

JLouM No, I hardly touch mine tbh honest, just bung a dishwasher tablet in every so often and wipe around the door and edges with an anti bac cloth. It's served me well and I mostly do the lowest wash and everything is ultra clean. Maybe a longer wash if heavy cooking stuff. Surprised how much stuff it holds, having people for a meal is no problem.

Rinse the filter every so often but that is no problem either.

Ironing! I only do it if I absolutely have to. I have been known to use the hair straighteners to give something a quick iron if it really needed it.

Hate cleaning windows, mirrors etc..I wear a lot of clothes that don't need ironing for work/ every day,I want to be comfortable.

I iron or get my partner to iron my outfit when I'm going out somewhere special..

I only iron at work & that's just a a few sets of clothes for Service User for when he goes to Day Centre/ out of a special occasion..

Dislike cleaning but honestly like others have said dishwashing is the worst standing there normally getting some water everywhere on and on and it's a constant.

I actually don't mind cleaning, always feel that sense of satisfaction afterwards. My one pet hate though is cleaning the wooden blinds, I have these at the front of the house, once I start them it actually doesn't take long but it's just the thought of it haha.

washing up, I hate the sensory nature of balancing hot/cold water, sorting through very different weights and sizes of dishes, touching all the slime-y food bits. Eww to it all! And yet, it's the chore I do the most because it's endless!
