What's your domestic weakness?

[Minky]

Mine is sweeping the floor - which really should be done every day, but is actually done Weds/Fri and when the crumbs look a bit OTT :oops:.

I mean I DO do it, but it's a real :sigh: effort for me for some odd reason.

Whereas I'm happy to polish the bench (granite worktop) about 6 times a day with spray eco cleaner, a blue E cloth and the yellow glass E cloth :loco:.

What is your domestic downfall?

Washing up, I hate it! Luckily since my mum has moved in she does it. I used to leave it for as long as possible then do a big wash up(which I know is bad:zombie: )

I'll happily hoover all day though.

[Princess Lollipop]

Mine is sweeping the floor too and as our whole downstairs is either wooden or tiled floors I really should make an effort more often.

Hate doing the granite worktops too but might give it a go a la Minky.

Could happily wash all day though. Not very eco friendly I know :oops:

[Oppro]

Oh god all of it! My house is a sh!t tip till it's dangerous before I roll my sleeves up! There are just so many better things to do with my time! But if I HAD to pick, it would be cleaning the floors. Or the ironing. I hate both.

[Muppetgal]

everything :oops:

I used to love ironing, but gave it up years ago (pre-children) which is probably a good thing because if I had to iron the amount of clothes we have in this house now it would no longer be something I like!!


Actually, I don't mind cleaning the bathroom :loco: I like it when it's all sparkly!

[Badgirl]

Washing the kitchen floor- Id rather clean the toilet 20 times

[*Betty Mae*]

Also the kitchen floor. It's natural slate and needs a proper hoover, scrub (down on hands and knees type!) and then an oil dressing on top..... I feckin hate it.... :no:

I feel like varnishing it so it's more wipeable iykwim.... :scratchchin:

[ChelseaHarvey]

Washing up i hate it & its all i seem to do.. When we move a dish washer is def the 1st thing to get

[Pancake01]

Today, after being up a ladder for most of it, I hate decorating, particularly the preparation part - sanding, washing etc. :zombie:

[littlepinkpiglet]

Washing the kitchen floor- Id rather clean the toilet 20 times

WSS :yuck: I HATE hate hate the kitchen floor and will happily let it get a little sticky and crunchy before I mop it :oops:

[Moffgal]

The kitchen floor and the ensuite which is totally minging and needs ripping out and doing again

[miss moneypenny]

As I've just said on my spring cleaning thread my weakness is putting the washing away once it's washed. I can sit for ages with basketfuls of clean washing for ages before I deal with them :oops: I'm also dreadful for putting things away and end up with little piles of things all round the house. So general tidying I guess is my downfall.

I'm another one who doesn't mind cleaning the bathroom as it's lovely to have a shiny sink :grin:

[sersha]

Putting washing away. I fling half of it into the ironing basket for DH and get dressed out of the other half so it never even makes it into the drawers half the time :oops:

[sersha]

oooh spooky cross post miss m!

[WoollyNewty]

Err pretty much all of it but I think the situation with 'fresh bedlinen' (or lack of it :oops:) is particularly bad. I mean I love love love fresh sheets, duvet cover (even though I don't do your weird 'extra sheet under the duvet cover' madness :teehee:) but it's a rare event that I actually get to appreciate them. The sheer faff of getting it all back on the bed - especially the freakin duvet cover - well it's too much for me :drama:. I need a maid or something.

[Katiekipper]

These days, hoovering. I managed to buy the heaviest, hottest (God it belts out some hot air!) hoover in the world and I hate getting it out and always end up feeling achy and tired afterwards.

[Bert2e]

Dusting - it's just so pointless - you do it then 5 mins later the sun shines on something and you can see dust again!

[Rosa]

The bathroom, I hate cleaning any of it, so boring and it always ends up smeary when I do it :sigh: Thankfully my lovely cleaner does it once a week and I just use wipes in between :lol:

The top of the cooker. It's an 8 ring gas one and a total pita to clean as you have to deal with so many parts, so it hardly ever gets done until it's totally filthy :oops:

Thankfully the big metal grid thingies that the pans sit on above the gas (what on earth are they called?!) sort of camouflage it a bit.

I've just done it today and feel all saint-like now!

[fluffymonster]

Dusting, such a pain!

[Miss Frosty]

my cooker hood :oops: . I am sometimes really embarrased by the dust of the glass bit of it but I struggle to remember to do it :doh: for some reason :puzzled: .

[Bananatree]

The bathroom floor- it gets filthy before I do it. :oops:

[choccy eating monster]

Hanging all the washing to dry. Over several airers because we don't have a tumble dryer. What a total and utter bore and a waste of my life. Total drudgery.

[mrsnozza]

Another vote for the dreaded kitchen floor here! Hate doing it.

Tidying up. The place looks so cluttered and messy atm. I don't like the place we're in at all though, and I find it hard to get enthusiastic about housework on a house I don't like. We're hoping to buy soon - hopefully I will get my housework mojo back then.

:laff:

you see Woolly, THAT'S EXACTLY why I have a top sheet! Then the duvet cover gets changed every few months and there's no drama - clean sheets every week for that lovely fresh sheet feeling, with no faff. I HATE changing my duvet cover (and have to have it professionally pressed anyway :oops:) and just cnba doing it every week.

Try it, you might like it :wink: :laff:

Either that or get a maid. :sunglasses:

:teehee:

[DKNI]

I hate washing the floors. Not good when you consider its all wood or tile

[~Twiggy~]

Cleaning the windows and oven.

[*Betty Mae*]

:laff:

Is it a nightmare big pleated sort of thing then? I have a superking sized bed but shove the cover on and iron it on the bed. :lol: (the underneath can stay wrinkly!)

[ms sweetcheeks]

HHmm, I am trying to think hard here, as to what I hate the very most.

Oh yes, cleaning the hob.

We have a ceramic hob with gas cooker rings on it, and to clean it you have to remove all the rings, and they're all in 3 parts, and then they have to be washed and scrubbed individually, as stuff spill on them.
OMG cleaning our hob takes AGES.

I leave it completely to the cleaner, so sometimes if she doens't come one week, I don't touch it for 2 weeks- gross or what.

Ok I might wipe off any rice or pasta spilt, but that's it.

I can deal with other stuff, although I don't do it if I am honest- I just count the days down til the cleaner comes:oops:

Oh just remembered, I DO sweep the kitchen floor everyday, as I HATE walking on crunchy stuff, like salt, rice grain, crumbs etc..

[RedTiger]

Housework :tongue:

[Angel]

The washing / ironing

[sparkles]

mine is floors too. I hate hoovering, sweeping or mopping.

In my defence, its because it kills by back!!

[bubbasweet]

Washing up and taking out the bin. Dh does those jobs and I'll happily let it pile up all week ready for him to do at the weekend (we have a dishwasher btw - i'm not that manky :lol: It's just odd bits here and there.)

[elledj]

All of it. I'd rather catch cholera than clean. I luff my cleaners.

[Raspberry Lemonade]

housework in general is my weak point :lol:

Actually it is vacuuming that I really hate, and cleaning the oven - so much so that I try to get someone else to do it for me!
