What is your most hated chore?

Loathe every single bit of it. Only indulge when something gets on my nerves or someone is calling (currently saved!!). My lovely Mum was so embarrassed by my lack of indulgence in this area that she pleaded 'At least keep it tidy. That gives the impression of being clean'. This I do in her memory with the odd wink and nod heavenwards. Think she has a point, actually.

Maggiemaybe what is an HG grout cleaner?

Cherrytree and Mamadroit Have you tried Sealfix Non-Smear Glass Cleaner. It's brilliant stuff. You can buy a big 1ltr spray bottle online for about £1.20. We have a LOT of big doors and windows and it really makes them sparkle and stay clean for longer. Great for mirrors and shower screens and UPVC frames too.

Cleaning the oven.....so I don’t, and haven’t done for the last six years.An oven cleaning company send someone out to do it .....worth every penny.They do the grillpan and all the shelves too, leave it looking like a showroom new oven.

If you don't mind me asking - how much. When I look online it usually says 'call us to get a quote'

I like many others,,on this thread absolutely detest and abhor any sort of housework! I was born to have servants...... I don’t know what went wrong!!!? My sons girlfriend lives with us and I occasionally slip her £20 to do a clean through for me,before anybody jumps on me to say that’s not enough she does live here at a very cheap rent and the poor girl actually enjoys cleaning..?

As long as my sinks and toilets are clean I’m good. Can live with most other things not done. I buy clothes that don’t need ironing.

As a P.S My one passion is keeping the toilet sparkling clean, that is my domain my one passion is keeping the toilet sparkling clean, that is my domain ?

Putting food shopping away.
Gave up ironing years ago unless desperately needs ironing. Who irons bedding, just be clever with drying it then it doesn’t need it.

I also was destined for better things and cleaning anything was not one of them.

In normal times I have a cleaner.

Can't say I like ANY domestic chores at all, to be honest! I never use the hoover (the cleaner does it) and my husband finds cleaning the oven a Manly Challenge so he quite enjoys the awful chemicals. I'm happier in the garden.

Hate Cleaning the shower. Due to my back problems DH has now taken over that chore, phew. Don’t mind ironing but gave up ironing duvet covers, sheets towels, etc a long, long, time ago.
Generally dislike most housework.

My most hated chore is in the garden. I have various large evergreen shrubs like privet, yew, laurel and lonicera nitida that I like to keep trimmed into rounded or spire shapes. Because they're all about eight feet tall it means wobbling about on a step ladder with an electric hedge trimmer and the damned things grow so fast in the summer that I have to do it every three weeks. Hate it.
On the other hand I love doing the small box balls with shears.
In the house, like others, it's ironing so I hardly do any. A good blow on the line usually takes care of most of the creases, and the others I don't notice!
Hate turning the mattress too, in fact I can't manage it anymore so it doesn't get done and I can feel it needs it.

Housework. Do it today and it needs Done tomorrow. I haven't ironed anything in years. I don't mind washing and cooking and I pay a company to clean cooker and oven when it really needs doing.

Cleaning the oven, which somehow I have ignored for quite a while!

Hate them all! Need to do some though

Probably cleaning the oven, which is why it gets done once in a blue moon. I love the style of a colleague’s sister, who couldn’t face cleaning hers after she’d put it off for so long - so she just bought a new one! Respect!

But I dislike all housework TBH. Doing the same old things which only need doing again in a few days (or weeks.).

Re ironing sheets and duvet covers, esp. king size! - honestly why does anyone bother? We have super king size duvet covers and I stopped ironing them ages ago - after a day or so the creases drop out anyway.

For our guest king size I have patterned duvet covers* that honestly don’t show creases anyway, though I will usually iron the (plain) pillowcases in guests’ honour.
*Dark blue Strawberry Thief, in case anyone wants to know!

I hate all housework and gardening. I last cleaned my oven about two years ago. I took the door off to clean between the two glass panels and couldn’t get the flaming thing back on! I was nearly crying! Dropped one of the screws too and spent ages crawling round the floor looking for it. Never again! ?

I HATE cleaning bathrooms don't mind any other housework

Yes I hate bathrooms too - I think it’s the hair ?

Thanks for that tip, Happysexagenarian. I’ll try it!

Weeding the garden and mowing lawns.

I'm not bothered about anything much- it all has to be done so I just get on with it. The only thing I do put off until it REALLY needs doing is defrosting the freezer in the kitchen. It is only 4 drawers but it takes forever & I have piles of frozen food sitting around getting warm on the kitchen counters.
Last month I suddenly realised that if I wait until the freezers in the garage are not full I can just put it all in there overnight & let the small freezer defrost properly( Can't believe I never thought of that before!!) I have yet to find a way of not flooding the kitchen. I do put loads of towels down but it still soaks through.

Chores - I hate all of them. When working f-t with 2 kids, I did as little as possible. Now they're adults and I'm retired, I'm not about to start bring religiously houseproud.

Top of the list is putting shopping away. The whole shopping thing is mind numbing. Pick off a shelf place in trolley. Empty onto conveyor, pick up put in bags. Take bags from trolley , place in car. Take from car into house. Empty out into cupboards etc. At least with click and collect or delivery half of the process is eliminated.

Cleaning the fridge. Taking all the food out takes ages as I keep a lot of sauces in there. But worst of all I can’t find the switch to turn off the alarm. We bought the fridge with the house and I love it because it’s huge. Until it needs cleaning....
