I swear every time I think I finished cleaning I have to start over again. I have way to big of a house and I start in one room and work my way threw by the time I'm done I have to start over again even if its the same day. Some times its just the kitchen I have to do again but my do we ever get a break? I would have to say laundry is the worst part of it all. What room do you feel like you are always cleaning over and over again?

I would deffinatly say the kitchen is the worst...its never clean no matter how much I clean it. I live with my parents and 2 brothers and my mom is sick a lot so the cleaning is pretty much completly up to me because you can just forget about men cleaning a kitchen. And If i asked them too they would probably do it but they all work very hard everyday so I just dont have the heart to ask them to help me with it. I feel like its sorta my responsibilty . But still I know how you feel about it being never ending.

The kitchen and laundry because your always wearing clothes (i hope so) and your always eating or drinking. Never ending.

It definately feels like a very thankless job. As soon as you are done with one project you need to move to the next wile they clean spots sit and get dirty again. Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in Groundhog day.

I've had big houses and also small houses. I thought it would make a difference, but it never did. It was work work work if I wanted everything to look decent. The big houses take more time and the small houses have space that gets used more. I vote for the kitchen as the worst room. I can go into the kitchen any time of the day and find something out of place, dirty, or whatever. My husband and son have a different perspective on what getting the job done in kitchen means I guess.

Well I have two boys ages 6 and 3. So possibly needless to say I should clean the bathroom every day, but I don't. The next time they use it one of them pees outside the bowl, somehow. It drives me nuts. I wish we just had a power washer in the bathroom. That would make cleaning much easier.

I seen on HGVT they were talking about "new" bathrooms and some one had put in a totally stainless steel bathroom that self cleaned! Or you could clean it with a hose. You could litteraly hose the bathroom down! There were a few drains in the bathroom floor and one on the counter. The cabinets were made so that when you hosed down the bathroom the water couldn't get into the cabintes. Thats what I'm talking about!!!

Which room? It's a toss-up between the kitchen and the bathroom. Just when all the dishes are done, it's time too prepare another meal. But that's a fact of life, so I don't sweat it, I just try to stay fairly well organized and one step ahead of the dishes by washing or loading the dishwasher as I go, rather than letting dirty dishes or utensils stack up. I love my kitchen, so I try to keep it clean and neat. As for the bathroom, I'm not as good at keeping up with that. Just doing a quick spray and wipe of the sink every evening would help me start my day more pleasantly, I suppose. Don't know why I have such a rough time with that. Guess I don't love the bathroom as much as I love the kitchen.

The living room is the place where I feel like I always cleaned over and over again. No wonder about it because I belong to a family with I have 2 sisters and 3 teenage brothers who doesn't mind if the house is clean or not. Sometimes I got really angry because they are very inconsiderate sometimes. I just cleaned it and after an hour, it's a mess again. It's really hard to have a big family especially if most of them are boys.

Hello ebsharer. Yes, I feel like cleaning is a never-ending story because each time I clean my apartment, then it won't be long before I make is a mess again and restart to clean it by putting the stuff I put in a good order till I am satisfied with.

The kitchen in my house, while not real big is one room that seems to need to be done over and over again. I find myself doing dishes a lot. I hardly ever like to see dishes in my sink. It seems like you can never catch a break from cleaning. As homemakers our work is probably never done. So each day we get up and start all over again.
