Just For Fun - Pet Household Job You Hate!!

[Smowball]

Nobody likes housework right? But everyone has one job in particular that they loathe. Well I have two - one is changing the duvet cover! With a king size duvet I just detest it lol! The second is cleaning the glass shower door! Honestly within a day of doing it , it then looks as tho I’ve not done it for weeks! Grrrrrr.

I don't know why as it's not hard work but I absolutely hate emptying the dishwasher.

[Hazlinny]

Cleaning the oven is probably the job I hate the most.

I used to hate cleaning the oven. Now I don't have to, we bought a self cleaning oven, best thing since sliced bread

Does cooking count?

I have no particular interest in food, so cooking is a real chore for me.

I'm not bad at it - I make delicious omelettes, and I can knock up a chicken dinner with three veg and gravy.

But if someone said, I'll cook, you clean the toilet, I wouldn't argue!

Barry/ How long does it take for a self-cleaning oven to "clean" ... also I guess they are more expensive than the ordinary ones?

[barry1010]

About 45 minutes for mine, plus cooling off time whilst the door is locked. Longer if I use the heavy cycle. I bought mine about 16 years ago and it wasn't cheap.

[Hazlinny]

Barry/ Just googled and Eeeee they are expensive!

De-greasing certain surfaces in the kitchen - about once every 3 months. And, unfortunately, the next clean-up is due next week:-(

I wonder how many of you regularly clean the tops of wall mounted cupboards, the top, sides and back of your fridge, oven, etc. As a decorator, the one thing that always 'got to me' when papering a kitchen, was that the client(s) had seemed impervious to the fact that the tops of the wall units and sides/backs of fridges and ovens had gathered a coat of grease and were horribly sticky to the touch - and you couldn't help but touch them.
Obviously if the client was incapable of climbing up a step ladder to clean the surfaces, that would be forgivable. But not if they were able-bodied:-(

Smow; I use a window vac to dry the shower screen and tiles and bath evey day after showering. They don't get scaled up if you dry them off. I don't do anything in there that would result in other stains.

[barry1010]

Ken, I put wallpaper on top of my kitchen units, you can't see it and it's easily changed every few months. Saves a lot of scrubbing

[Ken4155]

A good idea, Barry, and one which i used to employ as i was able to use remnants from whatever job i was doing. I may invest in a cheap roll of vinyl, once i've sugar-soaped the surfaces next week :-)
Some folk put their rarely-used, still in-the-box pots, pans and other items on top of their units. Then when i come to move them in order to access the wall..........sticky fingers, yeuk. Still, at least the surfaces are relatively grease-free:-/

Get rid of the shower screen and just have a shower curtain that you can shove in the washing machine when it gets disgusting. As for the king-size duvet cover - enlist the help of your husband to grab the corners etc etc. I would never change mine unaided!

[ladybirder]

Just wipe the glass dry with a cloth before you get out of the shower. Takes less than a minute.

[pastafreak]

Duvet change for me too. Sometimes it goes nice and easy. Most of the time the duvet corners get 'lost' in there.
Second is sweeping up after the cat...and it's always worst just after I've done a good sweep and tidy up. He waits...then jumps in and sends stuff flying. I've got puppy pads under the trays...he scratches them into a pile.

Self cleaning oven??

[Barsel]

Barry, what is a self-cleaning oven?

[Barsel]

Smow great minds think alike.

[Barsel]

Still some work involved then Barry?
I was hoping you just press a button and it cleans it all. :-)
It's the glass oven door on mine that is a faff to clean.
