Satisfying household jobs

[NotARealAvery]

I cleaned and washed my car today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I usually just take it to be done at the car wash that does the insides as well so haven’t actually washed it myself for about 10 years

I found it really satisfying hoovering out all the inside and washing then polishing up the outside.

I was thinking as I did it that I never really see people washing cars anymore when a few years ago most people did them themselves I think?

Any other jobs people find really satisfying to complete?

I love batch cooking. I love seeing a stack of meals ready for the freezer. And then I love, in the future, finding a stack of meals ready for us to eat when I'm frazzled and don't have time to cook.

Making bread and marmalade

I enjoy cleaning out my bathroom cabinet. Throwing away nasty old toiletries then using windolene so the mirrors inside are clean again like the outside. Bonus as it only takes about 15 mins. I need to get out more

Cleaning the sink with pink stuff paste so it's all shiny. I'm odd

Descaling the kettle.
Making pickles.
Cleaning the inside of the window frames.

Cleaning the bathroom

Floors
Bedmaking

@AnneLovesGilbert Do you, like me, survey your newly filled jars of pickles and briefly pretend that you're a hardy pioneer woman who is now well prepared for winter?

I love changing the bedding and emptying the laundry basket. Using Viakal on the sinks and taps. Ooo the freshness is fantastical!

I LOVE cleaning my fridge freezer. Taking everything out, giving it a good clean and putting it all back in an orderly fashion (before 6 DC come home and destroy it)

I have a phobia of smelly fridges....
I actually hold my breath if I have to open anyone else’s fridge, in case it smells

I like taking the vacuum cleaner apart and getting every last speck of dust out of the filters. Then switch it on and enjoy the 500% performance improvement!

Yes JesusInTheCabbageVan, yes I do

I’m on maternity leave at the moment, living in pretty much a hamlet and spend a lot of time feeling like that. “We may be a bit skint, we may get snowed in, but the family can survive on vinegary goodness, I am provider”

And emptying the laundry basket

I like doing the laundry, loading and unloading the washing machine then the tumble dryer.

I love cleaning out the dustbin after it’s been emptied.

I wash it with boiling water and sprain with Zoflora.

I love batch cooking too. This evening I took the dc out with me and bought lots of steak mince and used all the veg up and made several portions of savoury mince for the freezer. Saves time and money and cleaning time!

Also decluttering for the charity shop. Much easier to keep on top of things if there is less stuff

Finishing the ironing pile

Folding laundry. After it has come in from drying on the line.

Hoovering.
There's just something about seeing a crumb free carpet with 'hoover stripes' on it.
Cleaning the oven till it shines is very satisfying, particularly the glass.

I love cleaning out the dustbin after it’s been emptied.
I LOATHE having to clean the bin. Can you help convince me it’s an alright job?

Oh Jude1 I do that too!

Pulling tangled hair out if the plug hole with plyers
Cleaning windows
Cleaning the shower and all the products in there.
Love anything that involves removing limescale
Combing all the hairs out of my hair brushes

All of them to be honest.

Nothing is as satisfying as getting your carpets properly cleaned. Cleaning porn.

There. Are. None.

Jobs that stay done are satisfying - completing a project, writing a report, painting a wall, giving birth...

No household job that will need re-doing is satisfying. Ever.
