Household Chores
Jump to: Newest in thread
Which do you love, which do you dislike?
I spent a domestic (well... mostly
 ) day yesterday and can confirm that I would happily mop any surface in sight all day long but I absolutely cannot be fucked with folding fitted sheets. The YouTube videos do nothing. My mother's wisdom does nothing. |

Today is my fun day of tidying - mainly just moving stuff to its normal location. Some.steam cleaning of floors maybe?
Will NOT iron except in extreme circumstances!
Will avoid washing up until critical mass buildup, but Mr has a lower threshold!
I find cleaning disgusting teenage boy bathroom strangly satisfying, although hasmat suit and breathing apparatus is required.
I'll fold normal sheets but those fitted ones will have to live with being fucked in a press.....no matter how many YouTube videos I watch. |

Ive had this conversation with people in chats groups
How the hell can you not have an iron in your house
The amount of people that don't have one is incredible
Everything gets ironed ( by me ) in my house except jocks and socks
Towels,tea towels,sheets,duvet covers,
How could you wear a crisp white shirt and tie without it being ironed or a pair of jeans
Weirdo's  |

What crazy person irons jeans? 
Shirt I get - so I'd iron one for a funeral or wedding. |

Let's not go chore shaming now. Everyone needs a hobby and fab is chore inclusive.
Real question is does Bog do a call out service...
I'd never dream of ironing sheets but they are soooo comfy that first night.

I can't think of a single household chore I enjoy, the clue is in the word "chore". I'll cook anytime before doing other domestic tasks.
The only time I liked ironing was when I was meant to be studying for my finals |

Are you my mother  the only things she doesn’t iron are socks and bras and only cause she can’t.
I still think she’s fuckin nuts and I certainly didn’t get the ironing gene. |

Hold the press, I can confirm I have only one shirt I iron and that's because the fabric is too light to drip-dry straight on a hanger. No spin-cycle, hang them up and the weight of the fabric will usually dry them straight. That's unless you're going for starchy crisp
I think I have 5 different white shirts and I only iron one. That might be my reputation ruined 
On which note: starching and ironing collars. No thanks, this is not the 1800s |

It is all about the hanging up - if you don't fuck everything out of the washing machine into a basket and hang it straight up you will get very little creases. Plus I would iron in more creases that were there to start! |

I hate folding clothes
Every time I get it finished I tell myself I won’t let it build up like that again
But here I am staring at about 4 baskets full of it
I’ll do someone’s ironing if they can come and fold for me? |

I LOVE throwing stuff out, decluttering, St V de Ping my spontaneous purchases. Also like washing mirrors, it's so easy with the sprays.
Getting rid of old papers, letters, it feels so good when they are gone. Unfortunately it builds back up quite quickly. |

Its great fun showing them how much you could buy a house or car for on the day they were born as they save for their own house

"Cooking is my therapy.
Absolutely hate putting away laundry.
Another fab lady gave me a steam cleaner recently and this was instant gratification, almost addictive  "
I had a steam cleaner for a while and it was very addictive. I had to stop using it though because I kept finding more dirty and I spent a larger and larger portion of time getting mildly obsessive about clean grouting in bathrooms |

Actually, power hosing. My god, there's no other domestic job that gives me so much satisfaction. Twice a year. Back does be broke after but I get that warm fuzzy feeling inside any time I get a glimpse of those patio slabs out the back. Magnificent. |

"Fitted sheets are the easiest if you do it on a table.
But I could scrub toilets the whole day long, just don't make me fold laundry! How many more clothes can a kid use!!!!

I'm just not sure how sex on a table will help fold a fitted sheet but I'll give it a go...  |

Oh I don't mind folding at all and it's often a big pile. I'll put something on Netflix and just tip away. I like all the neat square piles. |

We can combine it with that other thread of snickers pants. A group of snickers wearing men descending upon you to take care of all your cleaning chores. I'm onto your plans! Crafty women on here so there are! |

Love cleaning and doing the housework, I find it therapeutic and I do it Fridays so the house is clean for the weekend. I’d clean over cook any day which works in our household
Only job I hate is making my daughter’s high sleeper bed cause it’s so awkward putting the fitted sheet on

"Pairing socks is my favourite
Buy socks with different coloured soles....all black is too OCD due to the different shades of black once they're washed "
Sorry all my socks are really black. Like from the priest sock shop No different shades for me |

I would probably drive you mad with my folding…lots of awkwardly shaped bundles piled up haphazardly  |

Power washing is pure therapy and lots of fun.
I'll happily vacuum the house, thankfully as it's usually necessary once a day.
Window cleaning... I know some people do it but we just stick with our canine window art
Our iron is collecting dust in some cupboard. Although there was a time where I did iron everything down to the socks!

I distain sweeping and hoovering but I hate a dirty floor even more so I have to do it!
I could spray and clean/wipe down counter tops, tables, windows, glass etc for days. When I bartended it was my favourite part of the job - cleaning the countertop and the tables in the pub!
I also really enjoy washing dishes. |

I will wash dishes all day but absolutely despise drying them! Let them air dry, they'll be grand
The level of satisfaction I get from a spotless and shiny sink is quite frankly a little absurd |

Love powerwashing but it's not really a regular chore so that steamer does sound interesting
Love to cook too but also love the dishwasher after it
Also then fecking fitted sheets have the best of intentions to try fold it
Then it's get scrunched up when I realise its a losing battle |

Was sick of folding clothes and then pulling them out of drawer only to find them creased a little if stacked any more that 2 items high. Removed loads of old clothes that don’t fit etc. Made cabinets with 2 rows built in- one at ceiling height other at hip height and clothes are fkd on hangers and done- no more creases, no more looking for items they all in your face. Now I like doing that task. Fast and simple.
2 dishwashers- one is for dirty items, other is for clean items - no longer have to empty dishwasher just take items as needed. Machine 1 will be on today, machine 2 will be on tomorrow so no smells. Keep doors open or steel items will start to rust.
Had one of those robot hoovers- useless, hopefully they get stronger suction. Don’t mind hoovering it’s cardio when beats are blasting out of speaker |

We had a robot hoover, was great until it tried to hoover up a puppy turd overnight, and we got up the next morning to find turd tracks all over the downstairs of the house where it smeared and spread in every room. Never again

Love changing my bedsheets but I think it’s more about the feeling of getting into them at night than changing them
I do LOVE cleaning floors. Rooms look so much tidier with clean floors
But then I love a clean kitchen counter too, when all the dishes get cleaned and put away…that usually only lasts a couple mins though
