    Most, as they all get harder to do when you get older!

      I feel this, especially after I was in a bad car accident. I’ve had to try to find items that enable me. I wonder if hometalk could start a list of items that help with chores. Plus those that don’t deliver.

    Removing mineral deposit line from my toilet.....even though I have a water softener, the ring needs cleaned with CLR and/or with a pumice stone about every 2-3 weeks!

    Cleaning the bathroom -- all of it! I hate wiping the floor around the toilet. I hate trying to scrub and rinse the shower wall above where the shower head can reach. I hate getting the residue of the cleaning product out of the center line of the tub so it isn't slippery.

      Check out wet and forget shower. You spray once a week in the walls and tub and walk away. Then rinse off the next day when you shower. Game changer for me.

    Hi Amy: Well, I guess I'm the odd duck, I love cleaning my house. But, if I were to pick one that I really don't like, it would be cleaning the tracks of my patio door and windows. Such little spaces and just an icky job :)

    DUSTING...partially due to allergies but mainly because it was my childhood chore every Saturday morning, the entire house. I know I was doing it at age 3, not sure if earlier than that. However, microfiber dusters that catch the dust has made me dread it a bit less.

    Cleaning the potty from hard water deposits. I also do not like washing my SPC vinyl floors. They never seem as clean as when I had tile. I hate cleaning the ceiling fan that is on a cathedral ceiling.
