I hate, hate, hate cleaning the shower. I put it off if I can help it! Every other piece of housework I can deal with, but cleaning the shower fills me with a huge sense of dread. And then I put it off until I can't bear looking at it dirty anymore!!!

I used to hate doing the shower but ihave this thing over here.I think it's called the magic reach.It sort of resembles a broomstidck with a flat bottom. You can put a pad on it,wet it and clean the shower without even having to bend over.When you are done,you take the pad off and put one on for cleaning the floor. It is really a godsend because I have arthritis bad in my knees and hip

I surely hope you do find it.It's a true blessing. My brother's mother in law got it for me because of the problems I have with my knees and hip.Not only does it make it easier,it literally cuts the time in half.Gosh,I sound like a commercial,lol!

I don't have a dishwasher but my mom taught me a little trick for that a long time ago. We let the dishes and pot and pans soak and than it is a piece of cake to wash them.

I really despise cleaning the tubs and the toilets. It takes a long time especially to clean the tub as I find most products do not clean the tub very well. Toilets take time as well to clean and is nasty to look and clean the filth in the toilets. :-) Dusting is not a problem for me as that is probably the easier chore to do and less time consuming, depending on how much you have to dust. I would rather do that than the tub and toilets. :-)

Have you tried I think it's called the toilet or bathroom wand by clorox? That's what I use and it's so much easier. I also use the mr clean magic wand for the tub.I have trouble with my knees and hips and this is a godsend

The only chore I hate, with a capital H, is cleaning the toilets. Yuk, and double yuk.

I think ironing is the most boring job. I keep putting it off. My sister in law says she never irons at all.
Dusting is very boring too. I rarely do that.

I got rid of all my knick knacks because they were just too hard to clean. LOL We have really bad allergies. I hate to do dishes. LOL I know that they have to be done and they have to be done alot, but I hate them.

I hate dishes too. You should have seen my brother and I arguing over it when we were younger.My mom used to have my brother and I take turns washing dishes-one night he would have to do it-the next night it was me. We would always try to be slick and say it "wasn't my turn".Never worked with my mom,lol

I mostly hate ironing, and I am always putting it off.
I'm not that into dusting either, I hardly ever do it.

I used to hate doing the floor but i have the magic reach.I think that's what it's called. It has a broomlike handle so you can use a pad to clean the bathroom and another to clean the floors. It makes it much easier. you'er not telling me about the kitchen floor being dirty so fast,lol

I absolutely, positively hate doing folding cloths. I don't know why but I do. I hang up most of my cloths because of I dislike doing that so badly. All the other things about housework I don't mind. The folding cloths is the only one that I dislike strongly.

I used to hate cleaning anything that involved spraying cleaners because I would always feel sick and light headed but after some searching I found these great non-toxic cleaners that dont bother me at all its like I'm not even using them! And they smell soo much better! I was always afraid to have cleaners and such around because I know the dangers but with Melaleuca and their wonderful products I dont have to worry either. Now I my most hated chore is picking up all the toys!

I'm allergic to all those cleaners so I use vinegar, baking soda and salt.
