What do you LIKE to clean?
We can all whine a little about what we DON'T like to clean. For example, I hate to dust. But is there something that you really enjoy cleaning?
I absolutely love cleaning and organizing my pantry. It's a "feel-good" to line up all the cans of tomato sauce and sort the little packets of sauce and spice mixes. I have these little plastic coated wire shelves and I move them around to be handy with the cans and jars that I store. When I'm done, I like to just stand back and stare at it. Crazy??
Your turn....Spiritual:

I like laundry.
I love folding the clothes. The feel of fabric. the piles. Thinking about the clothes and their owner. It has always made me smile.

I like hanging my laundry outside, I listen to the birds & daydream. Well that's not cleaning but is housework...
Cleaning, I too like cleaning & organizing cabinets, drawers etc. Just so satisfying to open & close the door repeatedly to see what a wonderful job I did, lol.~*Darlene*~

Laundry, bathroom, and bedroom. Oh and bf recently upgraded our tv/dvd so until the newness wears off I have enjoyed dusting it. It makes me think of him.

I like to vacuum. I like the little tink tink sound of the vacuum cleaner picking up dirt.

I HATE anything having to do with the floors - sweeping, mopping, vacuuming. HATE IT!
I LOVE anything in the organizing realm. When we lived in our old house with the gigantic. walk-in pantry - I could spend all day in there.
Professionally (this is not housework) I really enjoy taking a patient from 'wallowing' in their bed to fluffed, buffed and in clean sheets. All the IV lines straight and labeled. Paperwork in order. Bedside table cleaned off.

That's an intriguing question.
I like throwing things out, too.
I like cleaning off my desk in my office. It makes me feel less stressed and allows me to focus on my work instead of thinking about clutter and all the other chores I need to do instead of writing.
I like cleaning and organizing our pop up camper. I'm always tweaking things to see if I can make it function more easily and more efficiently, therefore making it more enjoyable to use. Cleaning it means we've either just gotten home from someplace fun or we're getting ready to leave for somewhere else that's memorable.
I like brushing our huskies when they're in full molt. The hair comes out by the handful and they look so nice when I've raked a big bag full of hair out of them.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10% takehome to tithe and offerings
emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)

freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow

Love cleaning the counter with the all purpose spray, it smells soo nice and I do this nightly to 'close' the kitchen before bed. In the am's I rise to find grease splatters on the stove and/or dried on food stains on the counter...all b/c dad wanted to get a 'drink' in the middle of the night

I also love to handbomb the dishes however if its super dried on crusty stuff thats been allowed to adhere, mmm...not so much. Everyone seems to leave you alone when you do dishes.
Love doing laundry too but hate trying to get out stains and putting clothes away.2012: The Year Of The Purge!

I like when I declutter the kids rooms... feels like I have really accomplished something... plus we always feel good to donate the outgrown clothing and toys.
