    Is there a particular household chore that you detest? I love hoovering but I loathe ironing. I see ironing as a drudge.

    So what chore do you hate doing?

    The sound of the hoover could be the most annoying thing in the world.

    I don't mind ironing. Don't love it, but the chore I really detest is sweeping the kitchen and bathroom tiles. Sometimes I just hoover the ****ers. Actually I hoover everywhere really - counter-tops, window-sills, top of the wardrobes, inside cupboards, then wipe them down. No other way seems as effective to get rid of dust and gritty bits.

    As a fellow said to me once" Get a second dishwasher. Take the clean stuff out as you need it. Put the dirty ware in the other one and fill away. That way you can do away with some presses for holding ware as well."

    I love the sound of the hoover :O.

    I hate washing the floors, windows, changing the beds and ironing. The rest I can live with.

    Washing the bath. I hate, and I mean hate washing the bath.

    On the other hand I love ironing. Bit of sport on the TV, few beers and I'll iron for hours.

    i hate putting clothes away after washing them. The bane of my life! Any other cleaning I don't mind and I don't iron except for the rare occasion something needs it.

    I hate it all really, but I hate hoovering the most. Even taking the hoover out from where we keep it is too much effort. (And it's really not that much effort!) My husband it better at it so he usually does it, but at the moment he can't so I have to suck it up and do it.

    I don't get all the hate for ironing? I love ironing and seeing my clothes go flat...


    And I just realised how sad that sounds out loud :o


    Vacuuming, could someone please invent a vacuum cleaner that sucks up dust silently?

    Yep, I hate ironing too. Doesn't help that I'm useless at it. I take aaaaaaages and even then it's still not right. I swear I'd probably struggle to iron a tie and not fück it up.

    Cleaning the bathroom (toilets, bathtubs, showers). Words can't describe how much I despise it. I cringe just thinking about it. :P

    I hate 'tidying up', i don't mind cleaning but I hate tidying things to where they are supposed to be.

    I'm getting ready to move at the minute and i did one room there yesterday, tidying and throwing stuff away. So annoying!

    Hanging out washing. Takes too long to space it all out properly. There's no quick way of doing it.

    Dusting. Especially when you have to dust properly and lift all the shíte off the shelf before you dust.

    Oh I LOVE hanging out washing (when it's actually outside, that is!).

    Can tolerate ironing if it's in front of the fire and the telly or some good music. Unfortunately my ironing apparatus lives upstairs in the spare room, so I just don't do it unless I absolutely have to.

    Hate all the rest of it - life is FAR too short - so I pay someone else to do it :D

    I don't mind ironing, put the TV on and away I go.

    I also use one of those super duper Steam Generators that means you only need to iron one side of trousers and shirt sleeves so it really speeds it up.

    Hoovering is what I can't stand mainly due to the noise. Why can't they make them quieter.
