    Default Do You Enjoy Cleaning?

    I really don't. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I don't enjoy cleaning at all. My mother, on the other hand, absolutely LOVES to clean.

    I LOVE to clean!!!! My mother hated to clean, maybe that is why I like it so much. Growing up, our house was very cluttered. I hate to see dirt and clutter just lying around!

    I hate it. I put it off as long as possible, and then get it all done at once

    It depends upon my mood. Sometimes, I enjoy cleaning, other times, I despise it. It is very rewarding to make a cluttered, even dirty room, clean.

    Sometimes the cleaning fairy justs takes over in me and I get a lot done. Usually though, I put it off. My m-i-l and my paternal grandmother, I think, LIVE to clean. I swear there is nothing else they'd rather do.

    As I get older, I like it less. I especially hate doing our tub with the rust water problems.

    I don't particularly like to clean. But I like the results of a good cleaning so I suffer through it so I can reap the rewards of a sparkly house

    Yes, I love it. It's a bit like a good game of solitaire when everything just slots into its' spot, and the world comes up shining.
