I HATE doing the dishes, and I also get stressed when there are dishes in the sink. It’s a bad combo.
UGH… washing my duvet cover. I have to peel it off my bedspread and clean it separately. And then I have to put it back together. So annoying.
scrubbing pots and pans
Dusting – the time you regret owning so much stuff.
I really, really dislike dusting.

Scrubbing the shower/tub. It’s such a big surface area and its uncomfortable!
Ugh, unloading the dishwasher.

cleaning my bathroom. hate it.
I hate weeding. HATE. Even when you wear gloves you get dirt and splinters under your nails.
Unloading the dishwasher. Hands down. Hate.

Doing the dishes. And since I don’t have a dishwasher in my studio, I am currently the human dishwasher. Blah.
Hate hate hate mopping. HATE IT.
Washing curtains – I did one in a set this summer and probably won’t muster the energy to do the other till Christmas.
Watering the plants!
There aren’t words to describe the depth of my loathing for putting the bag of trash in the trash can. I just…can’t.
Changing sheets is the worst.
I love cooking, and love eating, and love a clean kitchen, but I hate cleaning up the dirty dishes and cooking utensils. It’s all so delicious when it’s on your place, but as soon as your finished everything seems totally disgusting and dirty!
Laundry! I have to go all the way down to the laundry room. Ugh!
Washing dishes!
I loathe ironing to the point that I’ll stop wearing wrinkly items in my wardrobe because I just can’t bring myself to do it!
Washing dishes! Or washing walls! They both suck.
Washing dishes by hand. Since moving to an apartment without a dishwasher after having one for 2.5 years, I dread it. I miss having a dishwasher!
Absolutely cannot stand putting laundry away. I don’t mind folding it, but it will sit in a pile in the corner of my bedroom and end up back in the laundry before it could ever end up back on a hanger or in a drawer!
Scrubbing the bathtub/shower. It’s always the one I hate and put off until absolutely necessary.
dishes for sure!
Washing the gunk out of the refrigerator bottom. Full stop.
My least favorite chore is sweeping the floor.
washing dishes.
I hate putting new sheets on the bed. Seems like so much more effort than necessary is required to get it neat and tidy.
Washing dishes. I really don’t enjoy it. Laundry is a close second since I don’t have a washer/dryer in my apartment.

Cleaning the bathroom, especially the floor.

Cleaning my husband’s bathroom…we have separate bathrooms for a reason.

My least favorite is cleaning the stove top. I usually put it off long enough that it gets gross (and if I just cleaned it right away, it wouldn’t get so bad).
Got to agree on the folding laundry. Doing laundry is fine, but then it sits in a basket all clean and unfolded unless I do it RIGHT AWAY. Ugh, just the worst.
cleaning my microwave is definitely the worst!
Mopping is the worst. Dunking a used mop back into dirty water just skeeves me out a little. I’m more likely to get on my hands and knees with a Clorox wipe and clean tile by tile than to pull out a mop and bucket.
I have to go with Belle on this – folding laundry is the worst, and it always seems like there is no end to it!
My least favorite chore is unloading the dishwasher. I would almost rather wash dishes completely by hand than unload the dishwasher.
Washing sheets and/or towels is such a hassle — and one little thing always manages to sneak out of the pile so it takes twice as long as it should. Ugh.
It is a tie between mopping the floors which I abhor and folding the sheets. Still can’t figure out how to properly fold a fitted sheet. Something is wrong with me!
Emptying the dish drain!
Doing the dishes. Soaked bits of food floating around and crazy wrinkly hands. Even after I wash my hands they still feel dirty.
dusting is a problem for me. the things that are unseen but still need to be cleaned: under the couch, around (and on top of) the books/cds on the shelves, the electronics and the tops of paintings. oy.
Cleaning the bathtub!
I hate cleaning my stove top- no matter how much elbow grease I apply I can never seem to get it 100% clean!
Cleaning the litter box or scrubbing toilets. Yuck! I actually don’t mind folding laundry too much, if I can watch TV while I am doing it.
Taking out the trash or washing windows!
washing dishes!
Cleaning the bathtub!
Absolutely washing dishes. Especially since my husband will not rinse off his plate before letting it sit in the sink.

Folding laundry – it normally gets stacked on the hanging rack instead. So much easier…. 🙂

I avoid ironing as much as I can. I avoid wearing blouses that need to be pressed.
I’m with you on folding laundry… Can’t stand it.
Cleaning out the refrigerator! It only takes 10 minutes, but I can put it off for weeks because I dread it so much!
Least favorite chore is weeding! Those darned things grow like… weeds! Sometimes I twist my own arm to get out there to do it, then my arm hurts and I can’t weed so it all becomes a vicious cycle!
I don’t like to do any chores, but I suppose my least favorite one would be folding and hanging my clean clothes.
The tub. We currently have a long-distance relationship.
Washing dishes because I don’t have a double sink and it’s tiny. Thank God most of my dishes/tools are dishwasher safe. I probably hate ironing more but I’ve eliminated that chore by hang drying a lot of stuff and buying a steamer!

I don’t mind folding laundry, but I HATE putting it away.

Folding the laundry . . . especially dealing with those pesky socks!
Definitely laundry. There is NO quick way to do it – you have to leave at least a couple hours between washing and then drying or else you risk your clothes not drying all the way and being wrinkly. Sad face.
changing sheets/making the bed
Dusting is the worst.

Cleaning bathrooms. Every part of it.
Washing silverware. I don’t mind washing the rest of the dishes, but dirty forks and spoons have always grossed me out.

Laundry!!! I love folding clean clothing (I find it soothing and mindless while watching tv) but hate switching from washer to dryer or to drying rack

making and unmaking the bed to clean the sheets – really unfortunate considering that I love fresh sheets!

I hate cleaning the floors whether it is sweeping, mopping or vacuuming.

Cleaning the bath/shower. It is the devil.
All of them? But if I had to pick one, I suspect it would probably have to be laundry!

Ironing! Hate it.
Cleaning the bathroom, yuck!
I hate weeding in the garden like no other! I think when I was a child, it was because they weren’t my flowers- I had no reason to care about keeping them nice. When it’s my clothes, my dishes, my car- I dont mind doing the work to keep things clean and well-maintained
i actually dont mind loading/unloading the dishwasher or doing laundry, but i cannot stand cleaning up the bathroom or the stove top.
It pains me to put away clean, folded laundry. Ugh.
Ironing. Everything I buy in menswear for my husband MUST be wrinkle resistant.

Vacuuming/cleaning the wood floors! I live in an apartment with no carpet and it’s virtually impossible to get the floors completely clean!
Dishes. I seriously despise doing them. Yet, I love to cook, and hate a sink full of dirty dishes. It’s a vicious cycle.
Emptying the dishwasher and putting dishes away is by far the worst – especially when you need a stool to reach most of your cabinet space!

worst chore is ironing clothes, hands down.
My least favorite chore is matching socks when folding laundry. As a kid this was my responsibility and our family wasn’t proactive about matching socks with every load so they would all end up in a basket to be sorted every week or so. Not a fan!
Mopping! I always end up messing up my floors by stepping on them while they’re still wet with dirty shoes on, and then having to do it again.
Dusting!
Least favorite chore is cleaning other people’s dishes. Mine are fine, but other people’s gross me out.
Cleaning up the dead mice that the stray neighborhood cat kills and decides to leave randomly in our yard. Did you know that dead animals smell…really bad? I’ll spare you the experience – they do.

I have noticed that I will do almost anything to get out of doing dishes. Or at least all the dishes in a reasonable time-frame. I am terrible for doing half of them and calling it a week.
I hate sorting mail, especially junk mail.
I DESPISE unloading the dishwasher. My mom used to have to yell at me 3 or 4 times before I actually went and did it.
Vacuuming. Our vacuum is LOUD and HEAVY and is a pain to lug up and down the stairs and the rugs don’t even look that much cleaner afterward.
It’s a tie between cleaning the shower and any type of yard work.
Cleaning the bathroom floor–it looks dirty almost immediately after!

Mowing the lawn. Hands down. Your shoes turn green, you have to pick up the sticks and check for dog poop first, it’s loud, you get bad tan lines . . . I will never live anywhere with a lawn for which I’m responsible to mow for unless I live with someone else who will mow.
I hate drying dishes. I will happily spend twice as much time washing in order to avoid being stuck drying.
unloading the dishwasher! absolutely hate it!
Scrubbing the bathtub and shower walls! Ugh.
I detest cleaning the bathroom sink.
I have an unreasonable aversion to putting the silverware away–I’m guessing because that was my very first chore as a kid that I always complained about. Luckily, my BF puts away the silverware and I put away the tupperware (one of his least favorite chores).
Dusting. I’m super-allergic to dust and it never fails to make me sick.
Putting away laundry!
I hate making the bed.
I despise washing dishes!
Gassing up a car. I don’t mind paying, but I despise pumping gas. Happily this chore is mostly eliminated now (car-free and loving it!).
Putting away folded laundry is the worst!
Worst chore? That’s easy – I have a hate hate hate relationship with cleaning shower grout. Yuck.
Washing dishes!
Cleaning the bathroom….especially the shower.
dislike cleaning the bathroom in general – especially the bathtub and shower walls.
Cleaning the bathroom and ironing!
cleaning the bathroom
Laundry, especially when it involves folding sheets!
Washing pots and pans after cooking! I just want to eat the food and relax once I’m done, not clean them up. I eat out a lot as a result.
Ironing
Washing pans – the crusty ones you have to soak and scrub forever. Thanks for all of the work you put into this!
Folding clothes for sure! I’m lucky (or unlucky, depending on how I look at it) I have a roommate and have to remove my clothes and fold them or I would just pull them straight from the dryer every day.
I hate, hate cleaning the stovetop!
I hate doing the dishes … I’m just miserable the whole time and my back inevitably aches b/c I’m so much taller than the sink.
Ironing is the worst. Seriously, I’m not sure if I’m doing it wrong or what but it never seems to make a difference.
Totally a mom thing, but I hate washing my breast pump.
I absolutely hate putting away my clean clothes. Folding isn’t a problem-I just hate hanging them in my closet!
Cleaning the bathroom- especially the toilet. GROSS
bathroom cleaning… I will scrub the rest of my house all day long in exchange for my boyfriend spending 30 minutes cleaning the bathroom!
Dusting is the worst. In college I lived by a set of train tracks, and I could never keep up with it.
Putting away laundry… somehow the final step of laundry just feels so daunting. My folded laundry often ends up on a chair until I wear it again.
I absolutely detest doing dishes, though folding laundry (not washing it!) comes close.
I hate all chores. But hand washing dirty dishes is probably the worst.
Can I say every chore? But seriously, it’s got to be dusting. There’s always too much dust and dog hair in my house, it’s a never ending uphill battle.
Cleaning the bathrooms, for sure!
I don’t mind most household cores, but I hate dusting. Thankfully my husband is happy to get that one done.
Dishes. I live alone in a small apartment so I feel like I’m constantly doing dishes.
Oh man do I want this. My least favorite cleaning activity would have to be…cleaning the shower. It is a lot of effort for not that much pay off!
dusting. clearing the shelves and then having to put everything back in its place is so tedious, and things never seem to go back quite the way they were.
Cleaning the bathroom. Yeccch.
My least favorite chore is ironing. I’m not sure how long I’ve had my current iron, but I’m sure it’s been about two or more years since I’ve used it.
Ironing is the worst! That and taking the trash out.
I have always hated mopping, it is the filthiest “cleaning” task ever.
Scrubbing the tile in my shower. No matter what cleaner I use, I always feel like I’m just smearing soap scum around.
Loading the dishwasher. I recite this poem in my head, “Thank God for dirty dishes. They have a tale to tell. While others may go hungry, we’re eating pretty well. With home, health and happiness I should not want to fuss, by the stack of evidence God’s been very good to us.”
That’s a tough one, it’s really about choosing the greater of two evils (or many evils as the case may be). I used to despise vacuuming, and I still kind of do, but I have a good vacuum cleaner so it doesn’t seem as bad. Judging by the frequency of telling myself that I “should” do a task, taking out the recycling is my current nemesis. Even though the trashroom is like 2 doors down from my apartment. Total #firstworldproblem right there.
Doing the dishes, especially after having made 7 dirty dishes to feed just me.
I despise doing dishes. Despise. I’ll clean bathrooms, fold laundry, whatever…just not the dishes.
Dishes make me crazy! My current apartment doesn’t have a dishwasher (I made the sacrifice for location). I’m hoping my husband loves doing dishes! LOL
Washing my duvet cover. It’s so pretty, but it’s such a pain.
Folding laundry and putting the bed back together after doing the wash. Painful.
Washing dishes makes me crazy! My current apartment doesn’t have a dishwasher either…
Vacuuming. I also have lots of long, dark hair, so it gets everywhere, fast. So, I can suck it up and vacuum, but 30 seconds later, there’s hair everywhere again.
Cleaning the tub/shower!! eeek!
I hate putting away laundry!
I hate cleaning the bathroom! Especially the tub/shower
I HATE putting away laundry!
putting laundry away1
Vacuuming!
I hate folding clothes
cleaning the toilet and folding sheets!
The dishes. I have let dirty pots and pans sit in the sink for a week. A WEEK!
Dishes, with folding laundry a close second. The only thing I hate more than these chores is dreading these chores – I’d much rather suck it up and do them as opposed to putting them off and watching as the task mounts. I’m sure this is the only reason these things get done regularly in our house.
Unloading the dishwasher. THE WORST. Maybe just due to the fact that with 4 people in our house, it has to happen everyday!
Dishes! I’m a soaker. I put water in a dish and will leave it for days in hope that it will clean itself (it only leads to mold…so I don’t know why I do it).
Ironing, I hate it!
cleaning out the fridge
I hate mopping the floors with a passion.
laundry in general
Vacuuming! It is so frustrating to haul out the vacuum and have to drag it around the house and move all the furntiure around.
Folding lundry and putting them away!
cleaning the shower, hands down. which is ironic considering that sometimes i shower twice a day…
I hate giving the dog a bath! I love my pup, but wet hair just totally grosses me out.
Folding and then putting away the laundry. It can sit on top of the dryer for at least a week.
Sweeping & mopping. Most hated chores. I’m always looking for ways to make it feel easier.
Dishes. Dries out my hands.
The shower. HATE the shower… the combination of glass, 3×3 tiles, the grout, and the caulk…ugh!
Taking the garbage out. It’s disgusting and it’s a never ending process.
Scrubbing the bathtub!
Vacuuming — up and down the stairs and trying not to knock into walls and furniture. So frustrating.
Putting my folded clothes away. It always seems an impossible task to get them from the laundry basket into my drawers.
For me it has to be using a dustpan after I sweep – it seems like I can never get the pile of dirt from the floor into the dustpan, and I hate seeing the hard work of sweeping go to waste, so I always end up digging out the duct tape to pick up the leftovers.
Dusting! Ugh…seriously can it get any worse than stirring up dust!?!
Oh boy, my least favorite chore is scrubbing dishes.
For me, I think the absolute worst is trying to fold sheets. My grandmother has ironed hers for years and they come out looking so pretty… mine just get sloppily thrown into the closet.
I hate cleaning the bathroom. Harsh chemicals, toxic fumes, plus untold damage to my nails and hands.
I hate sweeping in my all hardwood-floors apartment. I never feel like I got every bit of dust and dirt and it seems like I need to sweep almost daily.
i don’t like washing dishes!
Vacuuming by far is my least favorite! So bulky, so heavy. Would rather clean a million tubs than vacuum, any day.
Washing the dishes after they’ve been in the sink a couple of hours (or days). Yuck!
My least fav chore would be putting the laundry away … I don’t mind washing, and I have found a way to get through the folding – by saving up my favorite TV shows on On Demand and folding during that time, but getting things put back in their places in the drawers and closets gets me every week!! ;)While we are at it — i don’t particularly enjoy the bathrooms either but i think that falls under a necessary evil!
Thanks for the chance to win I’ve been wanting to try this product forever!!!
I really don’t mind most chores EXCEPT for cleaning the toilet — yuck!
Cleaning toilets. The worst.
I don’t like making the bed. Love when the bed is made; just hate doing it myself.
LAUNDRY, LAUNDRY, LAUNDRY … my poor reading chair has becomes a second closet twice a month until I get my act together and put all the clean cloths away.
Everything EXCEPT laundry. I actually love the sorting & folding – I find it calming (call me crazy!?) but toilets and dirty dishes? Now that’s a sure bet for a bad mood.
Joining in the anti-dishes group. I think it’s a result of growing up in a large family without a dishwasher. Doing the dishes took forever.
Changing out and cleaning the cat litter boxes-such a pain!
Changing fitted sheets is the bane of my existence.
Ironing. I’m horrible at it so it takes me 3x longer than any normal person to do it.
folding the bottom sheet!
Dishes – especially big pots and pans that won’t fit in the dishwasher and have food stuck to them.
Drying and putting away dishes. After washing them all by hand in a one-tub sink I wish they would just put themselves away.
Making my bed, especially when you have to change out sheets and pillowcases. The. Worst.
Making the bed, especially when you have to change out sheets and pillowcases. The. Worst.
Dusting! I’m so allergic that sometimes I think it’s best to just let it be rather than stir it up by dusting. I also hate cleaning the toilet. Gross!
No dishwasher in my apartment, so yeah, washing the dishes wins. I hate it so much I actually just use paper plates 75% of the time. Unfortunately, no one has invented disposable pots and pans yet, so I’m stuck with those.
Emptying the silverware from the dishwasher. Not the plates, glasses or anything else — just the silverware!
Oh my gosh, unloading the dishwasher. Or, taking out the trash. I’m the deadbeat roommate that waits for my other roommates to take it out. Whoops.
Cleaning out the fridge. So gross!
Absolutely HATE dusting. I can never keep up with it,especially with a very fluffy animal in my apartment. ugh.
Ironing. Definitely ironing. It’s hot, it’s tiring, it takes way too long, and I’m never any good at it! I always seem to iron IN more creases than I iron OUT!
Unloading the dishwasher!!
Washing the mattress pad and duvet cover – which I do at the same time because I hate doing both. Just too much fabric in the washing machine and I can’t make the bed again until they’re both done, it’s overwhelming somehow.
I also hate laundry! But, on the bright side, I have a big enough wardrobe that I can get away with only doing it once a month or so. (Seriously…it’s when I run out of underwear when I finally make myself do it.)
My solution to putting things away though has been to just hang everything in my closets. It feels faster, and I like being able to look at all my clothes!
I absolutely hate vacuuming and cleaning out the fridge.
I haaaaaate taking out the garbage. Fortunately, my husband has other chores he hates that I don’t mind, so splitting them up isn’t that unpleasant after all.
I hate washing the sheets and then having to make my bed! It seems to take up so much time (when in reality, I’m sure it’s really not THAT long) haha.
The floors. Hands down. And I actually enjoy cleaning everything else!
Putting away laundry. I put it off as long as I can.
I hate washing my sheets. It seems like such a production in my head, when it really doesn’t take that long
Making my bed. I can never figure out which way the sheets go and have the hardest time putting the fitted sheet on!
Tie between cleaning my bathroom and unloading the dishwasher
Definitely cleaning the bathroom is my least favorite chore!!
Putting stuff away! Doesn’t matter if it is clean dishes, laundry, unpacking, I hate it all!
I hate cleaning the kitchen floor. Ugh!
Doing the dishes is the worst
Unloading the dishwasher.
I hate putting away clean dishes from the drain rack or dishwasher. Which is odd, because I actually really enjoy washing dishes.
Any kind of floor cleaning: mopping, sweeping, vacuuming. Ugh, kill me now.
Vacuuming hands down, I’m too sensitive to noise. Plus it’s the only chore you can’t do while playing music.
My least favorite chore has got to be mopping the floor (especially with 3 dogs who love playing in puddles!).
Putting AWAY laundry is the worst. I’m guilty of living out of a (clean) laundry basket until I force myself to put clothing away later in the week.
Cleaning the bathroom! I am the person in my family who makes the least amount of mess and yet am the only one who ever cleans it!
I love my cat but I sure do HATE cleaning his litter box!
Folding and putting away laundry- the worst! Especially in my family of 7
Putting away clothes! I don’t mind washing, and I like folding things in front of the TV, but I absolutely hate putting things away once they’re folded.
My least favorite chore is vacuuming – something about how cumbersome it is to lug around the vacuum from room to room and outlet to outlet.
Scrubbing the tub/shower.
Dusting. Gah, I hate it!
Definitely laundry. It’s the chore that is secretly five chores and the cycle never ends.
The endless combination of sweeping, vacuuming and mopping in a house of hardwood, tile and area rugs. Too many activities just to achieve the end result of clean floors!
Cleaning the bathroom!
cleaning the toilet in my son’s bathroom… gross, gross, gross
You hate folding the laundry….I hate ironing it!!!
What an awesome giveaway! Thanks for hosting. Mine would be putting away clothes after they’ve been washed.

I hate hate hate doing the dishes, even scrubbing before putting them in the dishwasher!
I hate washing a sinkful of dirty dishes!
Washing dishes. Life w/out a dishwasher is the worst.
I despise ironing. I would rather pay to have it done for me or trade off scrubbing dishes.
I hate vacuuming with a passion.
Making the bed. Not pulling up the covers and arranging the throw pillows…stripping off the sheets and putting new ones on: pulling the fitted sheet, so it fits on each corner; tucking the flat sheet evenly; adding the blanket… I’d rather sit on the pile of blankets and pout (and usually do!)
I don’t dust nearly as often as I should, but I don’t hate it. No, hatred is reserved for cleaning the shower.
Ironing shirts is my absolutely least favorite chore. I avoid buying button downs in part because I don’t want to iron them, even though my husband loves them on me.
I hate cleaning out the refrigerator – in fact, hate may be too kind of a word for how I feel about it.
Emptying the dishwasher. Oddly enough, I love loading it.
Cleaning the fridge is definitely the worst.
I have to agree with you…I love folding laundry.
Dusting!!! Always hated dusting, and always got stuck with it growing up because my other sibling has dust allergies :(.
I HATE cleaning the bathroom, especially since moving in with my boyfriend. Gross 🙁
Cleaning the bath tub!
Cleaning out the refrigerator is, hands down, my least favorite chore. It seems like no matter how hard I try to maintain order in there, some random leftovers end up hiding in the back and have gone disgusting by the time I discover them. Ugh.
I hate vacuuming – so noisy and no shiny clean satisfaction that you get with many other chores
Cleaning the bathtub! It takes a toll on my joints and my back! (And can be incredibly dirty…) Yuk.
I actually LOVE folding laundry. I find it very cathartic. The one type of laundry I despise, though, is sheets. Fitted sheets were invented by Satan.
Cleaning the bathroom and having to pull hair out of the drain, yuck!
Scrubbing the shower. Gross.
Ironing – hands down.
It’s a toss-up between dishes and the bathtub.
I don’t have a dishwasher, so everything must be washed by hand. Confession: I use a lot of disposable stuff to avoid this chore.
There is no easy way to clean a tub that doesn’t end with scraped knuckles, sore leg muscles, and at least one near-death experience.
Taking the garbage out of my super stylish, but impractically narrow trashcan.
Dishes. Washing dishes, scrubbing dishes, filling the dishwasher, emptying the dishwasher, everything having to do with dishes….except eating off of them. That, I love.
Dust….is not a verb in my world.
Bathroom cleaning – the toilet and the floors and the bathtub. Ugh.
Scrubbing the tub, though it’s so satisfying once it’s clean.
emptying the dishwasher!
I detest cleaning floors and folding laundry. Absolutely dread it, which means I hardly ever do it. Coupled with a 1-year-old boy = disaster!
scrubbing dishes is the WORST
I hate vaccuming/dusting. Its such a pain moving furniture and things around and being careful to not tangle the cord.
Washing dishes–my apartment is too tiny to dry all of them at one time, so I’m always behind.
Dishes. They just sit in a pile in the sink for DAYS. I also hate unloading the dishwasher (which is part of the reason why the dishes sit in the sink so long…)
Picking up after myself. I don’t mind cleaning but I can’t seem to remember to put things away – especially after a stressful, wardrobe malfunction morning!
Cleaning the bathrooms, I hate cleaning the showers and toilets.
Ironing.
I hate spaghetti dishes! They smell nasty, your hands are all slimy afterwards… it’s the worst!
Tie between cleaning the microwave and cleaning & emptying the vacuum recepticle.

I’m with you on folding laundry. Hate it!
Dishes and vacuuming. Thank goodness for dish washer and Roomba.
Dishes! Just when you’re done, there’s a new pile.

Cleaning out the refrigerator and dusting ceiling fans. Yuck!
Hate taking out the trash!
Doing the dishes. I love my apartment for it’s great NOVA location and relatively cheap price…. but the lack of a dishwasher kills me sometimes.
Doing the dishes and ironing have to be my least favorite…so many better things I could be doing with my time!
Cleaning the toilet, hands down worst job.
Oh, I’ll take the clothes out fo the drier. And fold them. But from there I lose steam- I can’t stand actuially packing things away in my closet.
Handwashing – necessary for delicate clothes and undergarments, but so tedious and guarantees several days of newly laundered clothes hanging around the apartment dripping and drying.
Sweeping! I’m a little obsessive once I start cleaning and I feel like I can never get everything swept up enough!!
cleaning the toilet! yuck
Definitely doing laundry, everything from lugging it down to the laundry room to find places to hang clothes to dry in my apartment!

Cleaning the bathtub. I can smell the magic eraser on me for hours afterward.

taking out the trash, by far!

Cleaning the bathroom. Blech.
Cleaning the toilet. So gross!

Cleaning out the shower drain. Least favorite chore by far.

Does trimming my cat’s claws count? Because I seriously hate it.

My least favorite chores are all bathroom-related.
UNloading the dishwasher. Can load all day long, but unloading is the worst! Apparently, my family shares my aversion, as the dishwasher can go for days without being unloaded.
Without a doubt, dusting is the worst chore. I’m really good at ignoring it when it’s overcast or dark outside. Bright sunshiny days make it harder to overlook, yet I often manage to succeed.
Emptying the dishwasher-always and forever. My Clarasonic died this week so this giveaway couldn’t be more perfectly timed.
Vacuuming! Years of having it as a chore (and having two golden retrievers as pets) has made me loathe it.
Putting away dishes and folding laundry. I can clean and wash, but struggle with putting away!!

Stain-sticking my toddler’s undies…ewww. Or washing silverware.
Doing the dishes!

I truly hate all chores and cleaning, but that is a cop-out answer. My least favorite thing has to be washing dishes by hand. Something about hot water mixed with food particles makes me gag.
Dishes -hate ’em!
Totally agree. Folding laundry is the absolute worst!
As a kid growing up in Colorado, I HATED shoveling the driveway after it snowed. Thankfully I live in NYC with no car now so there’s no need!
Dusting.. everything else has a noticeable impact if left unattended, but I only notice dust when it’s too late (and disgusting).
It will have to be: washing my sheets.
I am all up for cleaning and I am a bit obsessed about it but the idea of taking off my sheets, cover and then washing it. Just doesn’t appeal to me.
I hate cleaning the bathtub!
I hate mopping. I always feel like Cinderella before the ball when I’m mopping. Tragic.
It’s so simple but I hate removing hair from the shower drain cover. Wet soapy matted hair? Gag.

Doing dishes, for sure. 🙁

I hate all the chores. Cleaning the shower is probably the worst!
Definitely doing dishes. There’s always more to do…
I hate doing dishes! I hate it so much, I pay my high school aged brother to do them for me sometimes.
Washing our duvet cover is the worst ever. Mostly because I have to fight the comforter to put it all back together right.
Mopping. Ugh.
My least favorite chore would have to be cleaning up the bathrooms! They’re the highest traffic areas in my house and let’s just say that with a family of 5 there’s they don’t stay perfect for long..
Floors. If carpet wasn’t so tacky I’d have a house full of it b/c vacuuming is easy. Hardwood/tile is the Bain of my existence.
Without a doubt – unloading the dishwasher.
Dishes. If I didn’t have to clean them, I’d probably cook more.
scrubbing the shower/tub.

Toilets…gross!
I’ve never been keen on washing the dishes: that’s mostly my husband’s job around our house! He heard me complaining once to my sister, and took it upon himself to be the usual dishwasher from then on. 🙂
Cleaning the shower
I hate dusting so much that I put nothing on the shelves, and since everything on them belongs to my boyfriend, that became his job. 🙂
Also, those who hate mopping should invest in a steam mop – it makes life so much better.
I absolutely hate cleaning out the gunk that gets stuck in the drain of the kitchen sink. I’m shuddering just thinking about it.
Washing the windows because that seems like an all day event because once you start you have to do all of them. i really can only deal with small bursts of cleaning between more fun activities.
Cleaning the glass door of the shower. Stupid film. Just adds another layer of privacy…right?
My least favorite chore is mopping! Why? Because you are forced to do two more chores before even starting on this one– pick up things/organizing so the floor is cleared and then sweeping!
Folding and putting away laundry is the absolute worst. I thankfully have a fiance who enjoys it. To each his own…
cleaning the bathroom. shudder.
Hands down, cleaning the refrigerator. I hate the cleaning of the shelves and struggling with the drawers.

Unloading the dishwasher! There is never a lull in keeping up with the dishes!
Cleaning the bathroom!!!
Straightening other people’s things in the apartment. Especially all the wires from tech things! They never stay where you put them and always get tangled. You always end up in a weird uncomfortable position trying to straighten them all out and tuck them all in. And then they just get pulled out again the next day! UGH.
Washing windows. Which is why mine are really dirty.
getting the hair out of the shower drain. my thick brown mane (as well as my roommates’) clogs it up too frequently! GROSS
I HATE doing the dishes! In our last apartment, we didn’t have a dishwasher which made me miserable!
My least favorite chore has to be ironing my husbands trousers in between dry cleanings. It saves money, but it is not fun!
Cleaning. The. Bathroom. I do it, I hate it, I darn near pass out from the cleanser fumes, and then my back hurts the next day because I contorted my body in funky ways to clean around the toilet. 🙂
Taking out the recycling, which requires going to a separate dumpster on the opposite side of the building from where the trash is disposed. Ugh.
Right now my least favorite is laundry. I’m living for a year on a college campus, and having to take my laundry across campus and praying that my students don’t see me folding my underwear does not make for a very fun task.
I know it’s gross, but I HATE having to remove the hair ball that forms in the shower drain. I don’t know about other people, but I have a ton of hair despite having a prolific ability to lose it in the shower. I also greatly dislike vaccumming and sweeping.
folding and putting away clothes after doing laundry. I would live out of the dryer if I could.
Washing windows is a terrible chore!
I hate cleaning the stove top! It’s such a gross chore!
I hate taking out the trash and will do anything to avoid it.
I hate doing the dishes… I have a very small kitchen, and love to cook… but I need to do dishes while cooking to have room. Bah.
Cleaning the bathroom my three boys use! I try and make them clean it but I always end up “re-cleaning” it everytime.
Cleaning the bathroom especially the tub and shower walls. What a hassle!
Vacuuming! Every time I vacuum I feel like I might be in a remake of Psycho, removing a shower for a noisy vacuum…
Unloading the dishwasher is by far my least favorite chore.
sweeping!! I’ll mop, swiffer, and vaccum the s**t out of any flat serface in the house, but tell me I have to sweep something and it’s avoidance behavior central….
I blame my lovely parents for picking sweeping as my first chore. Ever seen a 5 year old successfully manuver a broom?
I hate taking out the trash. gross & smelly & you have to go outside!
I’m a laundry hater as well… if it could fold and iron itself, that would be great.
Washing dishes – I wish for a dishwasher everyday!
Definitely cleaning out the refrigerator.
Sweeping the floors – because I have a dog and it has to be done every.single.day. And sometimes twice-a-day. Ugh.
I also hate folding laundry, though I don’t mind taking it to wash. Having neither washer or dryer in my apartment… it’s enough of a chore to schlep it down to the laundry mat, much less deal with folding once I get it back.
cleaning out the refrigerator
I hate putting away the laundry…I actually enjoy doing it, sitting on my couch and folding it…I am even lazy enough to bring all of my hangers to the couch and hang everything up while watching a movie….but then the excitement stops. It will sit on my coffee table for days until I finally put it up. Don’t know why this is….
I hate, HATE cleaning the dishes/pans. My fiance is the cook and not only does he use everything in the kitchen for each meal, he will let the dishes sit in their own filth in the sink and it makes me wince to stick my hand in there to sort and clean. Ugh.
Folding laundry is also my least favorite chore, but it’s an excuse for me to get caught up on old TV episodes at least!
Washing the sheets…the stripping, the quarter-finding, the hauling down to the laundry room, and then the inevitable battle with the duvet. It doesn’t help that the OCD part of me can’t handle it if I don’t do it at least once a week.
Cleaning the bathroom is the absolute worst–living with only 1 other person makes it much more bearable than when it was a chore assigned by parents and the whole fam was using it…but still, and then it doesn’t even stay super clean that long.
Vacuuming – yuck!
Definitely yardwork!
Dusting! You have to move everything!
I’m not sure why, but I have a strange aversion to vacuuming. Between the exertion and the feeling that it’s never good enough, it’s too much for me. I’d take cleaning the kitty litter or doing the dishes over vacuuming any day.
Folding laundry.
Dusting. For sure. Its gross.
Cleaning up dog poop in the back yard. Yuck!
Toilets! Nuff said.
The bathroom as a whole.
Cleaning the bath tub. My husband hates it too, so by the time I get to it, it’s normally pretty gross. Ugh.
I’m not sure why, but I have a strange aversion to vacuuming. Between the exertion and the feeling that it’s never done perfectly, it’s too much for me. I’d rather clean the kitty litter or do the dishes any day.
Putting away laundry! I don’t mind the actual sorting, washing, etc- but putting it away is miserable.
Seeking and destroying hidden dust bunnies. Usually while vacuuming or sweeping the floors. Blech. Talk about allergy-induced sneezing for days!
Laundry–but more specifically matching and folding socks. I refuse to do it, so I always have mix-matched feet.
No cool kid these days would be seen with matching socks (or so I’m told). You’re stylin’, Rae!
Dusting. I hate having to move everything and then put it all back. UGH!
Cleaning the bathroom. It’s the worst.
Laundry is the worst! Especially the things that are bulky and way less rewarding than having more wearable clothes, like sheets, cleaning rags, towels, bathmat.
Scrubbing showers. I would rather do fifty toilets than a single shower.
Dusting is the bane of my existence
I hate cleaning floors. I can never seem to get them clean and I always make a mess!
Mopping floors. Sweeping floors. Vacuuming floors. Never fails after mopping or Swiffering — you’ll look back and there will always be crumbs left behind.
Doing dishes and taking out the trash are the worst!
Not really sure this falls under the “cleaning” topic you were leaning towards, but I hate taking care of my car. Oil changes can be seen as cleaning! I don’t do it myself, but I have to schedule time to get it done.
Vacuuming, although, fortunately for me, someone was kind enough to give me a Roomba a few years back. Pushing the button doesn’t seem nearly so bad.
The Every. Single. Day. Vacuuming that comes with being part of the Golden Retriever Rescue Group I’m a member of, which means we not only adopt abandoned and abused Goldens but at any given time we are fostering one or more for the group while they are trying to find them a what’s called “forever home” that’s suitable for these sweet babies. Who I LOVE, don’t get me wrong, but Goldens shed year-round and have lots of hair and with hardwood floors you can’t miss the white-looking (why white? they’re reddish-gold) hair balls that look like tumbleweeds that gather under the dining room table, side tables, in corners…everywhere. I have to vacuum every day and to be honest twice a day would be better. EVERY day. Christmas morning, before Thanksgiving dinner, there is no off day. I have had a couple of mini-breakdowns where I laugh/cried to friends, “Why can’t we just have normal dogs who aren’t abused and pitiful and scared and don’t shed all the time?” I didn’t mean it. I love them. So there you go.
I hate cleaning the bathtub.
Finding a place for everything. I actually enjoy “cleaning” but finding a place for things when there it doesn’t have a place is so frustrating. I guess I need less stuff!
Unloading the dishwasher!
Scrubbing floors!
It’s a tie between cleaning the bathroom and weeding anything in the yard.
Dusting – yuck!
Hands down: Washing the toilet!
Putting away Tupperware containers is one of the most frustrating things ever!
I absolutely hate ironing!
Vacuuming is the worst. I avoid it at all costs!
Mine is actually washing dishes but only because its chips my nails and Im obsessed with trying to keep them perfect.
Doing the dishes, definitely. Oddly, I’m fine with 99% of the laundry process, but I drag my feet when it comes to putting clothes on hangers and getting them in the closet.
Vacuuming takes the cake
Unloading the dishwasher!
I hate vacuuming!
I hate folding and ironing clothes!
Doing the dishes – I’m dreading moving into an apartment with no dishwasher!
I hate washing the dishes by hand. Thankfully my husband and I have worked out a system where I’m responsible for what goes in the dishwasher, and he takes care of everything else.
Vacuuming! But thankfully my husband does it… which leaves changing the sheets!
Vacuuming, for some reason! It’s heavy and loud; you have to move furniture around and it makes my ears ring lol. (It would make my month if I won this. Seriously)
Cleaning the shower! I will happily do loads of laundry and piles of dishes to get out of it!
Washing dishes, easily. I simply loathe it.
Least favorite chore, hands-down, is mopping the floor. We have a dog and a toddler – the floor has to be cleaned almost daily, and it wears me out!
Vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom!
Scrubbing the bathroom tile. Ick.
Least favorite chore would def have to be cleaning my kitchen floor! It’s just such a process because I have to vacuum up the dirt then steam it clean.
What a great giveaway! I’ve had my eye on a clarisonic for awhile now.
My least favorite shore is taking out the trash. I have never been to an apartment dumpster that did not reek.
Currently, my least favorite chore is doing laundry since I don’t have a washer/dryer unit in my apartment.
putting away laundry. i don’t mind folding it, but for some reason, that extra step of putting it in drawers or hanging it in the closet is the worst.
Dusting. I never can quite figure out how to do it without it accumulating at the end of the table, and it reminds me of just how gross those nooks and crannies in your house can get.
My least favorite choir would be taking clothes to the dry cleaning. No matter how many times I put those “dry clean only” clothes into a pile they never make it out the door and to the dry cleaner.
Doing the dishes! The dishwasher is the greatest invention ever!
Two words: Litter Box.
Ironing? Eck. Thank god for my steamer-savvy husband. Or my permanent perfume might be wrinkle release.
Taking out the trash. It’s really not that hard but I’m so lazy about it.
Cleaning the shower. Ugh.
I absolutely hate cleaning the tub. I hate having to be bent over scrubbing away. Dusting is also something i cheat at all the time.
We have two cats, and cleaning their litter box is about the worst thing I can imagine.
I hate ironing. And the pile of clothes that need to be ironed just gets bigger and bigger…
My least favorite chore has to be cleaning the floors in the kitchen and bathroom!
I hate vacuuming. It feels so involved to get out such a huge piece of equipment!

Dusting — I never remember to do it routinely, then by the time I get around to it there is dust everywhere!

My least favorite chore is cleaning my bathroom.
Cleaning the litter box
LEAST favorite? tough decision! i’d say: taking out the trash – a small bag, just fine; but a large bag that’s been accumulating (and increasing in stink-factor) for a few days too long, no thank you! kudos to my hubs for taking this one for the team!
Drying dishes! I actually love washing them, but putting them away is torture!
Hands down, doing the dishes is the worst chorse. From the comments above, I am not alone.
Grocery shopping!
Cleaning the bathroom–gross.
I actually love cleaning…cleaning my house, my clothes, my desk, my face, my wardrobe, etc. but I hate cleaning up someone else’s mess!
I hate vacuuming!
Changing the HVAC air filter
Wiping the baseboards. Never do it
My least favorite chore is actually putting away my laundry. I can never find enough room for everything!
Least favorite chore? MOPPING. Effing hate it. You think you’ve swiffered an area and then there’s a little trail left. And that scrubby side totally does not work.
cleaning the bathroom!
Washing silverware – no problem washing the rest of the dishes, just something about the shapes and sizes and nooks & crannies that drive me crazy.
Sweeping!
Putting my sheets back on after being washed. My fitted sheet will be the death of me.
Doing the dishes! yuck!
I hate cleaning the bathroom and everything that relates to it.
Cleaning up after a big party! Without a dishwasher…
Changing bed sheets, for sure. Very much a two-person job.
The worst is putting laundry away – I wash clothes, fold them, but getting those little piles into the drawers basically never happens.
Putting away dishes or laundry!!
definitely the dishes!
definitely the dishes! i have always had trouble enjoying this task. right now, i like to do it first thing in the morning, before coffee, so i don’t have to think about what i’m doing.
Hands down, doing the dishes! I’d rather do anything else!
I hate washing dishes.
Cleaning the bathroom. The tub, the toilet, the tile…ugh!
No contest: anything related to dishes. If I’m eating alone and know I have to wash the dishes without help, I will plan what I’m eating around what makes the least mess — probably not the best diet plan.
Putting clean clothes away. Laundry is a chore that is NEVER finished.
Mopping.
Love Clarisonic! Hate cleaning in general, but the worst is dusting the blinds and baseboards!
My least favorite chore is weeding! Thanks again for another terrific give-a-way.
Definitely cleaning the bathroom, the toilet especially
I hate folding laundry. So does my husband. We have a bed covered with clean laundry in our room of shame. Sigh.
Hands down, vacuuming. And I’m not really sure why — sweeping doesn’t bother me — but vacuuming?? Terrible. All the moving, and making sure you’ve gone in some sort of pattern. Ick. I’d rather clean the toilet.
Putting laundry away for sure!
Laundry. I live in an apartment so I have to take all the clothes to the basement, then back up, then fold them all, then put away….it just takes forever!
Doing the dishes after cooking is so defeating.
sweeping
Doing the dishes is the chore I hate the most BY FAR.
Mopping, especially in the kitchen.

Definitely taking out the trash! Gross.

I don’t mind folding laundry (esp in front of the tv!), but putting it away? HATE. And there’s only 4 people living in my house LOL. And clarisonic–Whoot
I’m terrible about keeping the floors clean – either vacuuming or sweeping, and with 2 dogs, one of them being a very hairy monster, I need to be better about it.
Cleaning out the refrigerator!
Emptying the dishwasher! It takes so long and doesn’t offer the gratification of seeing something clean!
I absolutely hate vacuuming & cleaning the floors in general!
Washing dishes, especially when they have other people’s food on them! Gross!
I absolutely despise doing the dishes. I’ve been dishwasher free for three years (because of living in an apartment out of college) and can’t still seem to grasp the concept that they won’t do themselves.
Washing pots and pans. I don’t mind the dishes, just not the greasy pots and pans!
Mine would be vacuuming. With a shedding cat, it seems like an exercise in futility.
Litter boxes make me want to get rid of my cat. . .
Cleaning the bathroom… I think I’m still scarred from my lifeguard days when I had to scrub down the public bathrooms each night.
I hate doing dishes, largely because they are rarely “done.”
I hate washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen in general
It’s a tie between washing dishes and dusting. With three dogs and a husband both feel like never ending chores!
Any bathroom cleaning is definitely the worst!
It has to be dusting- no matter what dust always reappears fast.
I REALLY dislike folding laundry!
dishes. ever since i lived with a guy (not a boyfriend, just a male roommate) in a place with no dishwasher, dishes and i ARE NOT FRIENDS.
I am with you on the laundry folding. The worst!
Hands-down – cleaning the bath tub!

Cleaning behind the toilet (you practically have to hug the sweaty commode, bleh!) and agree with the majority on putting away dishes
Dishes. I love cooking but hate cleaning up afterwards!
Cleaning dusty floor areas behind large furniture that doesn’t get vacuumed often – and then finding a dead roach next to my dust-drowned favorite earring!
Folding laundry is awful.
I really hate cleaning the bathroom. Maybe it’s because I think of it as the grossest room in the house, but I just dread doing it, and I hate it every moment I’m cleaning.
I HATE folding clothes too. It’s annoying and boring.
I despise ironing laundry, I really do.
I hate dusting! Having to take the time to move everything out of its place just wipe the dust away in 1 second… it’s the worst!
Cleaning out the kitty litter. Pee-yew.
