Mine would be between cleaning the bathrooms and doing the complete litter change out. I can do the daily litter clean but the tossing the litter and adding new litter, those bags to throw away are heavy!!

Laundry, including hanging my things to dry (I don't like using the dryer for most things), folding, putting away, and ironing.

gosh it would probably be between dishes and laundry.. hmmm.. Ill go with laundry.. that seems to pile up pretty quickly now that there's a baby in the house (and I havent even started using the washable diapers yet!).. we have a dishwasher yet to be installed, so the task of dishes will soon be easier.

hmm my 27 yr old brother's bathroom is worse, Im sure.. between his stinky socks, work clothes from working on cars, and just overall slobbiness.. his bathroom is downright unsanitary.. I no longer clean it.. I just shut the door, and advise guests that the upstairs bathroom is cleaner... use the downstairs bathroom at their own risk.. I am not liable for any infections they pick up!

For all of those who don't want to scrub the bathtub you should have taken advice from me! I hate that job too, but ever since I've been living with DH I have said "Hey, can you just scrub out the tub for me. Your arms are longer so it won't take much effort from you" and he has been scrubbing the tub for me ever since!!

I pay someone to vacuum and mop the floors. I actually pay for complete apartment cleaning, but if I had to go with one, it would be vacuuming and mopping the floors because it's hard on my back.

OK, you're going to think I'm totally
but I enjoy doing laundry. I enjoy vacuuming too. I actually find it relaxing.

Actually I am right there with ya! Honestly it would be difficult to find someone to clean to my standards, and if I do it myself, I know how clean things are

I'm surprised by how many people said they'd pay someone to clean the litter box. I find it sort of a 'zen' experience, like those little sand gardens that you smooth with tiny little rakes.
Of course, those sand gardens don't usually come with cat cookies.

IA. If you need me, just meow..
I would pay someone to vacum the floors. I can't seem to keep up with the cat litter they tend to hold in their little paws and then sprinkle on the carpets after they get done using the box. Especially if it's a fresh box, then they all suddenly have to go right after we clean them.

I enjoy cleaning, i like dusting, sweeping, mopping, organizing. But I HATE (With a passion) cleaning the litter boxes.

So I would pay someone to clean ALL my litter boxes lol!

Mine's a combo: cat hair/floors. Much of the cat hair gets on both the furniture and the floors (and stairs). When I had 9 (now, sadly only 7), I could have swept and mopped the floors 4 times a day to keep them nice (not that I did!). I can't stand the "tumbleweeds" of fur, esp. on the floor! I'm constantly picking them up. I do sweep and mop at least twice a week downstairs, and Dustbust in between that.

Tip: if you have this problem, buy a Dustbuster--the $35 model is fine. Saves dragging out the big vac, but not so great on upholstery, at least the faux-suede stuff I have. Also picks up dry cat food. And, buy one for each level of the house.

I beg you to come to my house! Please????


Actually, I enjoy cleaning most of the time, and find doing laundry kind of relaxing; I just hate putting it away.

I hate vaccing (see my other post). I hate the noise. One of my vacs just died; the other works, but the thingy that keeps it upright broke off. I have 2 level, and I have to drag that blasted thing up and down a few times a week, as I can't really afford a new one just yet.

OMG! I am in a very similar situation! I don't mind vacuuming, but my new Hoover Wind Tunnel is a piece of s**t! First the front panel wouldn't stay on, and now the on/off switch doesn't work!!!!!!!I have to plug it in and unplug it every time! Extremely frustrating! The biggest pain in the buttock is replacing the piece of c**p!
