Vacuuming, instant gratification to see dirt, dust, etc cleaned up.

Thanks for sharing @Pattie ! You’re right — vacuuming gives such a quick and satisfying result. Do you prefer using an upright, stick, or robot vacuum for that instant gratification?

Thanks for sharing @Westworld2 ! There’s something satisfying about seeing a floor go from dusty to sparkling, isn’t there? Do you prefer to sweep, vacuum, or get the mop out when you tackle it?

Well i really like doing at three then its very clean.

Putting clean sheets on our bed. Everything is so crisp and I make a tight bed like we did in the military. Feels terrific slipping between the sheets. Peaceful nights rest.

That’s such a satisfying chore to enjoy — nothing beats the feeling of crisp, freshly made sheets. And making the bed military-tight must make it feel even more perfect. Do you still use hospital corners like you did back then? Thank you for sharing @Gayle B. !

Washing dishes by hand. The water is so warm on a cold day. In with the dirty dishes out with shiny and clean dishes. The silverware......
Forget about it. Lol

I love how you describe that — it’s almost poetic! Warm water on a chilly day and the instant reward of shiny, clean dishes really does make it satisfying. Do you save the silverware for last, or tackle it first to get it out of the way? Thanks for sharing @Gibb !

Some find this odd, but I love washing dishes! I love the hot, soapy water, and wiping everything down!

Thanks for sharing @Hazeleyes ! Vacuuming really does give that instant clean-and-fresh feeling. I like your end-of-day dish routine too — it must make mornings feel so much calmer. Do you stick to a set vacuuming schedule, or just go by when the house feels like it needs it?

I do the vacuuming and most of the cleaning on Saturdays. During the week I I mop if the floors need it.

l do too because l don't have a dishwasher

Oh, angib55, I have a dishwasher, but prefer to do my dishes every day, or every other day. It's just me, so there aren't a whole lot of dishes to do!

That sounds like such a fun twist on a daily chore! Turning dishwashing into a Jenga challenge definitely makes it more interesting. How high have you managed to stack them before it all came tumbling down? Thanks for painting such a great picture @GaryBlake !

TriciaR, I have stacked them at least a foot high once or twice. I use large glass bowls and a big colander that occupy a lot of space in the drain rack. You must be VERY careful when removing anything!!

Hot, soapy water really does make dishwashing feel comforting, especially when everything ends up sparkling. Do you find it more relaxing to wash as you go, or do a big batch at the end? Thanks for sharing @BarbF !

I secretly love doing housework, but probably my most favorite is in January, reorganizing my closets, drawers and filing cabinet. Its like getting a fresh start.

That sounds so refreshing — starting the year with everything neat and organized must feel amazing! Do you tackle it all in one go, or spread the closet and drawer clean-outs over a few days? Thanks for sharing your favorite!
