I hate cleaning. I've gotten spoiled over the past few years because we've had a cleaning lady come in every other week or so to do most of the cleaning in the house. All I've had to do is deal with the bird room and the basic wiping down of the counters, the dishes, and that kind of stuff.
Due to The Painting Project That Just Won't End, however, I haven't had her come in over a month though, so things were really starting to get funky. It was time to take things into my own hands. So, I've spent the morning cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. I scrubbed the stove top, the counters, the kitchen floor, the bathroom sink, the toilet, and the bathroom floor. The only thing I didn't do was the tub. I'll deal with that later or tomorrow.
It wasn't as awful as I expected it to be but I still will happily pay someone to do this stuff for me.

I do things in "shifts".
Which simply means I attend to one thing while doing another. If I am going to refill my water bottle, I'll stop and wipe down the counters, fill the dishwasher or unload it.
Things like sweeping get done in much the same way. I might do a spot sweep while I'm waiting for water to boil for my tea.
I hate having to do the real thorough job though. Moving the table, chairs etc.

@NJChicaa I am the only one here who seems to think a "thorough job" needs to be done, which leaves me the only one doing it.
If I could, I would hire a service.

I find cleaning house easy work, I refuse to pay someone unless I`m sick. I don`t trust many rambling in my house either.

Thankfully , I don't need to clean our home coz we have caretaker in the building but I sometimes help him during general cleaning..
