What's Your Housecleaning Kryptonite?

The shower. I hate bending, scrubbing waiting and spraying the mold and mildew stuff. I manage to keep up with it but I HATE it.

Mating socks. I hate it! If it wouldn't drive me absolutely insane to throw them in a basket of their own and tell everyone to find their own socks I would. Everything else no problem. But I hate socks. Lol

I hate running the vac.

Edit: After the fact, I love seeing what carpet we have freshly vac'd. My toy poodle hate the vac and starts barking when I pull it out of the closet and tries to attack it when I vac. I do put him in another room but he doesn't shut up until the vac is back in it's closet.

I don't mind the other chores.

I LOVE...Comet bathroom cleaner. White bottle, green label. Great stuff.

I am the only girl in a house of 6 people--toilets and the surrounding splash zone are the nastiest things to clean.

I loathe cleaning the boys' toilet!

Mopping, ugh. You have to move furniture (kitchen table/chairs) and sweep the whole thing first, be all strategic about it so you don't mop yourself into a corner... wash the kitchen rugs at the same time... it's just such a PROCESS. Bleh.

I hate cleaning the showers. I would happily scrub the toilet before scrubbing the shower.

Washing silverware. All those little pieces, forks upon spoons upon...argh! Love doing pots and pan and will always (at least, whenever possible) trade my husband those tasks, esp as he hates the pots and pans. Would gladly do a kitchen of pots and pans than a sink full of silverware.

My husband actually wrote a poem about this and read it at our wedding. We do complement each other fairly well. :)

I hate it all, but I DO hate laundry the MOST.

I only have 3 baskets waiting to be folded right now - score! Ugh.

Didn't they promise us several decades ago that by now houses would clean themselves? Or robots would do it all for us? One robot that sweeps and mops the floor is not enough. I STILL have to load the dishwasher - where's THAT robot? Dusting? Laundry? Making the beds? Isn't there a button I could just push somewhere? WHERE'S MY ROBOT?!

I hate cleaning the bathroom my boys use. (that includes my husband). It's nasty.
I suck at vacuuming, but I don't loathe it. I just am not good at keeping up.
L.

The laundry. I can clean the house and it stays that way (for the most part) for the week. But the laundry never stops and it just piles up. I hate it.

I don't dust, vacuum, or mop. Those are my husband's jobs.

I avoid cleaning the tub a lot. It's not even that hard or time consuming, I just really dislike it.

I absolutely HATE mopping floors I don't mind sweeping or vacuuming, but it just seems like a huge effort to wash them. When I do finally make myself do it, I like to use a bucket and cloth to handwash the floor. Mops of all types just make me irritated.

I enjoy laundry. I purposely let it build up a bit, wash and dry several loads, then sort/fold/hang in my room while watching the tv shows or movies. I turn laundry into 'me time'. I even like paring socks. :-)

Windows!!! I don't mind laundry, I only do mine, my girls do their own.
Its WINDOWS I HATE, I will even cut grass with out complaining but UGH THOSE DAMN WINDOWS

I agree with Patricia G - housecleaning. That is why when I went back to work, I hired someone to clean my house every Thursday! Love Thursdays!

Dusting, putting away dishes and laundry.
I don't mind cleaning litter boxes, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms.
I don't mind loading the dishwasher or washing and drying clothes but I hate unloading and putting them away.
And I would rather take a beating than dust.

Clutter. I seem to spend way more time picking things up and moving them around than I do actually cleaning. I don't mind laundry until I get to putting it away and can't find any room in the drawers or closets!

When I was a live in nanny I think I had the best balance- the mom didn't mind loading the dishwasher, but hated unloading it. I love unloading and putting away the dishes. She hated grocery shopping and I actively LOVE it! If I could only have married her....
Now, my very worst is emptying the trash. I just cringe at all the bacteria that lives between the bag and the trashcan, even with regular vinegar rinses! And the bathroom, with the dirty Q-tips and god only knows what my boys throw in there...shudder...
And the boys' bathroom in general is just gross, even 10 minutes after it gets cleaned.
I actually enjoy laundry, especially the smell of dryer sheets and clean clothes!
My husband is really good about doing floors, which is not my favorite.
Now, who wants to come to my house and do the trash and boys' bathroom in exchange for laundry services?? :)

vacuuming and windows. i can scrub toilets all day, and don't mind dusting, doing laundry or doing dishes, but i friggin' HATE the vacuum cleaner. i do use it sometimes, but my husband does it at least as often as i do, and he does pretty much all the windows.
it's not fair at all. he's really the only one bringing in income right now and shouldn't really have to do ANY of the housework. but there ya go.

Dusting. Ugh.

I would much rather scrub toilets.

I don't hate it, but I have a hard time motivating to clean the walls, and the insides of cupboards, meaning taking everything out and giving the insides of the cupboards themselves a good clean.

Best,
F. B.

I hate polishing the furniture. It was my job growing up and I loathe it now....It has to get really bad or if I know my mom is coming to visit, in order for it to get done....Ugh!!

Another vote for laundry. In fact, that's what I should be doing now...

I love keeping my home clean..... buuuut I have to admit my laundry piles pretty high sometimes.

I hate laundry with a passion.

No matter what I do it seems like I end up with a clean pile sitting on my bed, waiting to be folded and/or put away - right at 11 pm right as I want to go to bed and have no energy left to do it.

ARGH!!!
