Vacuuming is horrible since the vacuum cleaner makes this horrible noise which I can bear like 3 seconds max. I have to do it with earplugs. :oops:

I hate cleaning the kitchen almost as much as I hate cleaning the floors, but the kitchen doesn't make me break my back as much as trying to clean dirt from 20 year-old linoleum. I don't mind the bathroom as much because I can just put on gloves, spray chemicals on everything, wipe it all down and throw everything away, whereas in the kitchen I have to be more careful about surfaces used to prepare food, dishes, stuff on counters, and the like. Also, my bathroom has a tiled floor instead of my linoleum kitchen floor.

Out of these options I dislike cleaning the bathroom the most..I have a very sensitive nose and chemicals just burn straight into my brain..

Out of anything though, I'd have to say Trash. The smell...and it always makes me feel so nasty after I do it...and I had several bad experiences in my childhood about it :(

I voted "pigsty" but I do clean when it really gets too much. Foul smells get me down.

Cleaning the oven is my least favourite. It's awkward to get at, it stinks, and the cleaners which make it even possible seem very toxic. But it's got to be done, or else you're not so much baking a meal as smoking it.

I really enjoy vacuuming. There is something atavistically agricultural about vacuuming.

Oh I don't clean the trash bin, I get a new one every so often. It's too disgusting to clean.

I've noticed that some trade vacuum-cleaners are a lot quieter than the cheap domestic ones. So they can be used in places where people are still working I guess.

The cyclonic cleaners make a horrible sound, probably mostly above my hearing range. When the one I've got breaks, I'll look at getting something quiet. Test a few in the shop.

Ah, let me tell you my approach to things which are too disgusting to clean.

Put them out in the garden for a week or two, and if they're a hollow thing like a pot or a can, half bury them so there's dirt on the disgusting bits and that dirt is connected to the surrounding dirt. Little bugs, worms etc love most things we call "disgusting."

I shouldn't assume you HAVE a garden/yard/weedpatch. But that method would clean your bin pretty well. Just a bit of dirt to wash off.

That's actually a good idea. I do have a small garden behind my apartment, but I couldn't use your idea with my rubbish bin as I can't go for two weeks without it.

My most hated isnt on here, but it is anything that concerns Chemicals like Chlorine. Whenever im in even a slightly confined space using that stuff i get extremely light headed.

I hate cleaning litterboxes. I also hate cleaning toilets (especially when I've had a stomach virus). Cleaning up hairballs, shampooing carpets, cleaning animal cages - anything having to do with excretions, vomitus and sundry effluvia.

I do the dishes (after I cook supper) and clean the kitchen floor; I often clean the bathroom although my wife swears I do not.

What I hate, and therefore leave for her, is sweeping. I am short of breath, and the dust kills me.
