Not quite my cup of tea.

I had mentioned in another post that my favorite household chore is ironing . I said also, that I truly dislike dusting - now how could I leave out cleaning bathrooms- that chore comes a very close second to dusting. However, some things simply must be done - and I love a sparkling clean bathroom so you won't find me slacking on that chore. Which household chore would you rather not do.? I thought of this post after hearing on a radio talk show that coca cola can remove toilet stains. Now there are no stains in my toilet for me to try it out, but after checking the internet I saw that it has many other household purposes - so the next time I buy a bottle I will experiment to see if it can really remove rust from a few discarded appliances I have in the garage.

I've heard of that too and have been wanting to try it (but we don't drink soda here, so I never think to buy it). I heard coke makes a cheap pesticide for the garden too . Which chore would I rather not do? All of them .

@Kandae11 It's been gray and cloudy - I actually do feel motivated to do chores now! But I don't feel motivated to do them when the sun is out . . . and the sun is out here most of the year .

Dusting is probably number one on my list of the chores I dislike. I haven't ironed much lately as all my clothes are dryer friendly and ready to wear. I also like a sparkling clean bathroom so although it's not something I enjoy I make sure it's done daily.

I dislike washing dishes mostly because I have sore hips from bursitis and bad knees so standing at the sink to wash them is really hard for me. I use the dishwasher sometimes but hubby does not like us using it much as it cost more money. I used to like ironing but clothing today usually does not take as much ironing. I love washing and hanging clothes out on the line in good weather.

I like washing and hanging clothes in the fresh air and sunshine as well. Sorry about the bursitis and knees.

i love to cook our simple dishes. i like to iron and wash, through the washing machine. i cannot clean and dust because it can be strenuous for me, and the dust can aggravate the hay fever that i have.

It would be a toss up between doing dishes and cleaning the bathroom. But they both have to be done so they are the first things that I do.

If it's a chore, I dislike it. However, those that go months at a time before I take care of them - cleaning the fridge/stove, dusting, vacuuming. The other's get taken care of on a routine basis.
