Bleaching door frames anyone?

[Omega16]

As I was ironing the tea towels and dish clothes this morning I thought of the thread a while back. One poster just casually mentioned bleaching door frames as a weekly chore. Everyone was WTF!

So do you do any random pointless chores?

Hodge nope, not with a flash sponge. It wouldn’t work on the walls though, just a wet cloth!!

Thanks bear. Maybe I have crap gloss paint ;)

Jesus, this thread.

DH and I sat down 10 minutes ago.

The dishes are still not finished, the washing basket is overflowing, random children's tat is strewn across every available surface.

That is what it looks like AFTER we have done an evening's housework.

Bleaching doorframes.... my mind is blown!!!

I mean, take last night. I got home from work at 6, DC in bed by 730, back downstairs and tidied the kitchen a little, made and pureed a fish pie for baby twins, did maybe one load of laundry and got swimming lesson bags packed for following morning's 9am lesson. Too knackered to clean up after pie properly so fell into bed around 1130 with dishes largely undone.

Every night is like that. How the hell do you all find time to iron your own eyebrows etc?

My friend bleaches all her walls, living room and bedrooms, i don't see the point apart from eventually taking the paint off. But it makes her house feel cleaner lol

Life is far too short to iron dishcloths towels or pants

I don't bleach doorframes, or anything for that matter. However I am now thinking about having a go at them with a flash sponge this morning.

I don't iron pants, but I do Kondo them.

First it's anuses (anii?), now it's doorframes.... You can find someone on MN who bleaches anything, I'm sure of it.

I think it surely depends how grubby something actually is though- if there were actually black grubby marks on your walls and door frames, would you wipe them? It’s usually one of those jobs that I only do when I see the visible dirt and think ‘I really must do that!’ As opposed to an every week kind of job.

I do clean my hall way skirting boards most weeks - we have children and a cat and they get filthy so need doing. Other skirting boards are done a couple of times a month and then some are hardly ever cleaned. I do hoover them though.

I caught my mil ironing fil pants yesterday. My SIL and I had a good laugh at her - her reasoning is that sil and I work full time whereas this is her 'job' (she was always a sahm).

We iron very little never mind pants (and I certainly don't iron tea towels and dish cloths 😂)

Ok I admit it, I'm guilty. Every week I wipe down all woodwork in the house. I live with 2 mechanics so grubby hand prints on doors. The dinning room wall gets a wipe down every other day as some bugger always manages to drip their brew. Toilet cleaned daily. Mop and hoover once a week. Been known to wash walls and hoover the ceilings before now too I'm worse when someone in the house has a cold and end up disinfecting every surface. I don't have much but what I do have , I like to be clean and tidy even if it is scruffy
