Household chores you don't mind, or even enjoy doing...

Is there anything you don't mind doing, or even enjoy. I like cleaning shit, don't know why but I feel good about things being dead clean. I read this article years ago where this psychologist was saying if you want to love your possessions, clean & polish them regularly. It's true for me.
Any cleaning tips reqd ? ask me !
I also wash up every night after dinner (tea), I actually enjoy doing that and it's a great way to get your hands brilliantly clean....we have a dishwasher which was here when we bought the place, it's only been on twice in about 4 years. Mainly to check that it works.
I have nothing to do with laundry, mopping, vacuuming or cleaning the shower, but I like doing the windows with my little Karcher which is a brilliant invention.
Anyone who visits has to remove shoes at the door :)

That's my job, too, the shithouses of Ewing Towers. There's something about the smell of bleach in the morning.

Mind, I had a near disaster t'other day. I normally splash a bit of sterilising fluid in the shower tray but I was running a little low and so I used Flash with Bleach. Turned the fuckin' shower tray pink. Never had owt like that before, but the good old sterilising fluid I had left came to the rescue and the original white was returned - gleaming. Only gonna use Flash with Bleach on glazed items in future.

Bill, you really should edit your OP. 'I like cleaning shit'

Anyway, no, not really, quite happy to wash the pots once a day, (at night) my clothes are scattered wherever I take them off, coats etc. It's not scruffy, more a throw back to a mother who was so houseproud you couldn't relax.

Is your 'washing pots' my idea of shoving 'em in the dishwasher?

Don't knock it till you've tried it mate....amazing invention for inside mainly. But can be outside if you live at ground level.

Yeah, I've got one of those. Fantastic water/soap sucking even on horizontal surfaces like the granite worktops in Ewing Towers' scullery. The thing with the fluffy pad has to be kept upright 'cos it leaks like fuck if yer lie it down.
 
It’s not in the doing of the cleaning that I enjoy as such. But I always give it full effort so it’s done properly. It’s the feeling of having done it and knowing it’s been done properly that I enjoy.

I always give the flat a good clean on a Thursday so that when I get home from work on the Friday for the weekend, nothing needs doing.
 
My missus is obsessed with cleaning; she vacuums every day, cleans anything new brought into the house whether from a shop or delivered, all the cat litter trays fully cleaned out and wiped with dettol wipes weekly. I try and stay out of it though she‘s roped me into cleaning the dining table every week. She even mops the hardwood floors every week and cleans every bathroom even though there’s just the two of us living here! Worst thing is we have to have ‘outdoor’ clothes and ‘indoor’, so even if I just pop out to get bread or petrol she wants me to change my trousers just do go and do that. And don’t even get me started on how often we have to wash our hands! She’s lovely in every other way so worth the hassle, but it does get tiresome at times, especially if we’re going out and she insists on vacuuming first. I’ve tried for years to convince her it’s too much but she just gets in a mood.

That's because blokes do a job at a time, properly......women multi task (and never stop telling you they can) but never do one job well.

.....and no, there obviously isn't a Mrs Southamptonblue, or I wouldn't have said that ;)

Feel free to let me know if you decide that you do want a Mrs Southampton blue. Unless you live in Southampton, that's a bit far to commute
