I spend 30 minutes pre-cleaning all the dishes, throw them into the dishwasher that runs for 1.5 hours (it seems) only for me to have to go through the process again since any food I didn't get off before is still on there.

This process happen every 2-3 days...
We had this problem in our other house - hubby took apart the "thingy" that chops up food bits and it was all plugged up. After he cleaned it out, the dishes came out clean, clean, clean.

I'm the only one in our household that does household chores so I get to do it all. The bathroom is a biggie for me - I like it clean. I clean the big mirror once per week, but the toilet, sink, and countertops I usually do a quick clean up every day then on the weekend they get the deeper cleaning like the tub and surround sound and the floor. By doing the daily thing it makes the weekend cleaning lighter and easier.

I love ironing so I usually try to con my daughter into doing the laundry.


I think I'd have to say I hate vacuuming the most. I don't mind sweeping and mopping up though.

Next to the World's Largest 6-pack
Dishes. Followed by Laundry. Ugh. I hate them both.

We have a dishwasher, which is nice. I've been using it a few times a week. Especially if I have tons of homework. I recommend Cascade 2-in-1 Action Packs with Dawn. They are AWESOME!
No stuck on food left on the dishes. I found that the store brand dishwasher detergents don't clean worth a darn.
The last Consumer Reports rating of dishwasher detergents rated the 2-in-1 Action Packs better than Cascade Complete.

My friend said she sticks the corners in each of the bedside table drawers first, but that doesn't work for me.

I'm due to change them tomorrow as well
Give me 20 litterboxes to scoup any day!.
you can come do my litterboxes, Susan, I'll change your duvet cover!!


I HATE dishes, I despise them with every fiber of my being! The next place I live will have a dishwasher


I also don't really like to clean the bathroom, but not half as much as I hate dishes. Laundry doesn't bother me at all, but I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have a washer/dryer at home

Dusting and Polishing hits the top of my list...having to pick up and wipe over each individual ornament on the shelves (mum likes everything spotless) it is such a drag!

Give me dishes to wash and plenty of laundry to sort out, and I'm happy

Just a little hint ladies, after cleaning your oven (either manually or self-cleaning), take a damp cloth, put some vinegar on it and wipe down the oven surfaces. This cleans off any residue left over from the cleaning and your oven will be easier to clean the next time. I just cleaned my oven recently (I do NOT have a self-clean) and everything came off very easily. Our daughter's friend was visiting when Jen was making cookies. She saw my oven and her eyes nearly popped out. She said, "Wow, is your oven ever clean. I don't think I've ever seen an oven that clean." Without any prompting that's a pretty nice compliment.

Whatever chore I'm doing at the moment is the chore I hate the most. Cleaning the bathroom ranks right up there, and mopping the floors and doing the dishes are pretty high too. Yeah, every chore. There isn't a single one that I enjoy.

I got a oven liner for Christmas for the bottom!! But I have to clean the oven so its clean for the liner and haven't done that yet.

My worst is washing the windows. A spring and fall chore-I try to break it down my rooms so I don't do it all at once but I have to get the openings a good scrub too.

The other would be dusting-esp in family room where the room stove is-it just seems to get dusty every day.

I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t mind doing the laundry but I also hate the folding, putting away part. I dread when I hear the beep of the dryer lol.

A close second is doing dishes. We have a dishwasher but it seems we donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t have enough pots and dishes to last. I hate having to spend time washing the pans/dishes to cook with only to have to chop, cook, etc. It seems like it takes too long when I want to relax after work.
