For me, it the bathtub and shower.
It's an older home, and grime just seems to stain. I absolutely hate scrubbing soap scum, and battling mildew.
I feel like no matter how often or how long i scrub, it is never perfectly clean.

Carpet. I have four pets. I cannot keep up with vacuuming them to the standard by which I like to live on them. It's so easy to run my little rechargeable Swiffer vacuum over the hardwood floor sections. But I hate dragging out my Shark vacuum and going over the carpets. I could just cycle back to where I started as soon as I'm finished because it's likely a cat walked over the clean carpet and dropped fur!

Due to back issues, it’s almost everything. The tub, changing the sheets on the king bed, vacuuming, mopping...I have a hard time doing anything on floor level. It’s not that it hurts my back, it’s that I’m afraid it will.  |

I have no problem loading laundry but folding and putting them away is the bane of my existence. Thankfully I only have my laundry to do and not DH's or I'd be in double hell . For some reason, sheets and towels don't bother me but it's the clothes. The clothes!! DH is genuinely perplexed when it comes to this about me since putting things really appeals to my sense of order. Go figure. |

I have a hard time keeping my kitchen sink white.
Also dbf spits in the bathroom sink, as we all do after brushing, but leaves behind the food particles dislodged by the brushing process. AAAAAALLL you have to do is splash a little water in the sink afterward, dude!! It gags me.

Hair in the bathroom.
For the amount of hair my husband and I both seem to shed on a daily basis I cannot understand why we aren't bald. Wiping up that hair off the counter and the floor seems like an endless Sisyphean job. Every time I walk in there, I see hair laying there mocking me.
And why is hair so hard to wipe up? Argh.

Same for me, shower and tub is the worst. I can never get it all clean despite some serious elbow grease!

AAAAAALLL you have to do is splash a little water in the sink afterward, dude!! It gags me. Right there with you on that. I hate, hate, HATE having a white kitchen sink with a passion because it never looks clean. DH has a bad habit of dumping the rest of his morning coffee in there and not rinsing it down, so by the time I get the kid off to school and come back to it there’s a lovely coffee stain that doesn’t want to come off. And yes, I do crack out the Bar Keeper’s Friend stuff, but even that won’t get it totally clean. Bleach would, but we have a septic system so I have to be careful how much bleach we put down the drains. |

Lately I’m really hating it all. Mainly because I do it all and feel like the maid. It massively pisses me off.

Cleaning just seems so futile. The furnace is now running and everything is dusty again, within a day or two. The cats shed fur blobs everywhere, it floats all over the place. It seems to be weightless.
I do like a clean house, but ugh.

Dusting, ironing, unloading the dishwasher.
Actually, I really don’t mind housecleaning when I have the time. I just listen to a playlist or a podcast and go about the tasks. My problem is that I get caught up in seeing something I haven’t seen in a while and I have to go through it or sort it or… You get the picture lol

I think cleaning IS my Achilles heel.
I’m a good teacher, a decent parent, I volunteer, I am capable in so many ways but cleaning is something I have never mastered in my whole adult life, not ever.

I should start a thread and ask, "What is your cleaning zen?" Putting away laundry is so satisfying to me! The folding, the hanging, the matching, the putting it back in it's rightful spot. Ahhhhh!

The kitchen floor grout. It was never properly sealed and no matter how hard we scrub it never looks clean. So no matter how spotless everything else it, the eye is drawn to the floor. We just need to bite the (expensive) bullet and have it professionally cleaned and sealed.
