Name three chores which you dread....

1. Scrubbing grout of the floors because they are tile. We bought this used house three years ago. I am sure they never cleaned the floor grout or took off their shoes before coming in the house, the grout is light gray. I searched all my life for a way to clean grout well, some things do better than others, but last year I did discover pure acetone does a heck of a job on this floor tile. One must be careful though, no open flames, sparks, plus a large fan and open windows so you don't get brain damage or blow yourself up! Was totally worth the risk.

2. Changing out the filters on the five air conditioning intakes on the ceilings. There are five in this house, have to haul the ladder in....up down up down x5 - I try to think positive: it is good exercise?

3. Cleaning up the toilets after DH....sorry guys, but men! and it is worse as they age. We need a rule for men that they simply must sit down and pee once they are eligible for Medicare!

Washing the windows

Dust mopping/vacuuming the floors..both the hardwood and the carpet. I don’t mind the damp mopping though.

Cleaning the bottom area around the toilet. I have a hard time getting down there to do it.

Cleaning the inside of the refrigerator/freezer (taking everything out).

Cleaning the exteriors of the cupboard doors. Again I have a hard time getting down to reach the bottom ones or reaching up to do the high ones.

Another vote for cleaning the bathroom.

Why do we need a space behind the toilet or all of those curvy nooks and crannies built into the base?

I think that these wall hugging, straight sided, toilets should be standard in all new construction.



It seems like the people that design bathrooms have never had to clean one.

I have so much iron in my well water that I need to filter it. Otherwise, it would stain my clothes-and it still isn't drinkable. I have to buy gallon jugs of water. I hate having to change the filter It's a messy job, and with one spill everything you own could be ruined.

Getting any chores done and having to do them one at a time during the week. It seems like not enough time to do more than one with other things happening.
