Satisfying household jobs

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 Blush

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?

Would you all like to come to my house?
I hate cleaning the fridge, and ironing & hoovering & folding Landry.
You're all VERY welcome to come & do mine.
I'll give you tea & nice biscuits.

I replied before RTFT. I think this isn’t my happy place Grin

Decluttering - especially taking stuff to charity shop and to the tip (though the latter only satisfying if the stuff can go in the various recycling bins, not to landfill)

Ironing. I iron nearly everything. Huge messy pile into lovely smooth and neat pile. Chaos into order.

I don't care one bit how sad that makes me!

I love mopping but only really filthy muddy floors (which is basically daily with 6yo ds).

I like the very first swipe with the mop where you can see a clear contrast in colour.

Very satisfying.

I loathe pretty much everything else tbh no matter how much I enjoy the end result.
