Worse Cleaning Job

[Janice]

What is the worse job you hate cleaning in your house. I am cleaning my two big floor fans. I have cats, so you know I am digging inside to get hair out. And the blades are a pain to clean. The fans are plastic, so I cannot open them up, no screws. I like these fans to circulate air in the house.

All of it!!! My housekeeper quit on me a couple of months ago and now my house looks like crud!

[beachbum_al]

The whole entire house. Matter of fact my sister is coming over today to help me clean it.

[Janice]

God, what does a cruddy house look like?

God, what does a cruddy house look like?

Probably like my house right now.

My house could use a good cleaning everyday. I pick up every morning, wash clothes, clean the kitchen and bathroom good. I wash the tile floors and vacuum once a week. My house is presentable, but never spotless. I am retired and I am finished being a clean hog. When company comes, I hit the fan and clean everything. Life is too short.

The job I hate the most is shampooing the carpets. With 4 boys and two dogs, we have to do it about every two months.

Actually the worst thing is cleaning venetian blinds. Since we had smokers in our house, they got sticky, and the dust would stick to them. I would rather buy new ones than try to clean them.

[Janice]

Yes, nowadays, they are not that expensive. Cigarette smoke sticks to everything, cupboards, clothes, walls, etc.

I hate to clean my toilets!!!!!YUK I have dark hardwood floors that combined with a dog and a cat and, yes, you guessed it, I have cleaning my hardwood floors. They tend to smear and I get frustrated. It's also hard on the knees!!

Ed, I buy new blinds.

[Janice]

You can go to Walmart or even Home Depot and get some nice blinds. They are all pretty much the same.

For me the hardest job is doing the wash, folding it and then putting it all away. Add ironing in there too. Right now we have several baskets of clean laundry sitting in the upstairs hall. Problem is I can keep the laundry going but get sidetracked along the way with errands, making dinner, dishes, etc. And oh putzing here at S2K! This is probably my husband's pet peeve. If I could manage to do the laundry start to finish, it would be great! I don't think I've ever had it all caught up (folded wrinkled clothes are sitting in a basket to be ironed). Where's June Cleaver when I need her? he he

I iron once a week. 5 Docker outfits for John to wear to school. Then odd pieces. I can get it all done in one morning a week. I kind of like ironing. Can watch tv and iron too.

De-nicotining everything...still!!! That and since I am also a caregiver, (how to say this nicely)..expelled body fluids from the oral cavity is worse than expelled body lfluids from any other part of the body...blech!!!!!!!!

[Janice]

Well, lucky you...

[O Town]

Laundry by a landslide. Can't stand it, ecspecially all those little clothes I have to do. I spot all thier stuff as well, each and every piece. Ugh, I hate it!

[Pburgh]

O Town, have you ever hear the tale about walking to school uphill for 5 miles!!!lol
I used to have to wash cloth diapers and tiny baby clothes in a wringer washer and hang them outside to dry!!!! Seriously, all the little baby clothes had to be ironed!!!!

[Janice]

Me too, but I must have been rich, haha. I took my cloth diapers to the laundry mat. We didn't have a washer or dryer.

[Pburgh]

I remember doing that a couple times too at the laundry mat. I didn't have the dryer but that wringer washer sure came in handy.

LOL, thank god for washing machines and dryers, no doubt. I bet if I had to do it by hand though it would not get so backed up. And the fact they have so many clothes, they can go at least 3 weeks wearing something new everyday without me doing laundry. And I have let it go that long before. 7 Supersize loads of little clothes, is ALOT of clothes to fold. I always say I will never let it go longer than a week, but it seems I always do.

My mother had the wringer washer in the basement with a big square tub on the side for rinsing. We hung the clothes up in the basement. Sometimes it got musty down there, so we would hang our good clothes upstairs on a tall rack.
