Things I absolutely won't do at home.

[Gettingbysomehow]

Cleaning the oven.
Cleaning the car.

I get professional cleaners to do these for me because just no....life is too short.

Oven
Windows
Gutters
Jet washing
Car valeting
Cleaner/ironing
Gardener
Decorating

I thought I might do more when I retired, but on reflection, I don't want to do those things.

One more - I have someone position, trim and decorate the Christmas trees - I'd rather clean the oven.

I like a clean over I definitely would not pay someone once a week for a half hour job!

Because I don’t want to do it myself.
I don’t want to clean my car or my oven. I pay sometime else to do it. I also pay someone else to clean my windows, and weed my garden.
Paying for these things puts money back into the economy. It keeps people in employment.

Ovens need to be cleaned?

It takes me half a hour!

Still don’t have the inclination 🤷🏻‍♀️

🤣🤣
id rather save my money and spend it on holidays 🤣🤣

I once paid someone to clean my oven (not a euphemism). Best money I ever paid 😅

I really really want a robo vacuum and mop. I love how some of you call them him and her.
what make is good for it cleaning itself and generally working well?

Fab, that’s your choice! I spend mine on oven cleaning and holidays! We’re all happy 😃

I manage a once a year professional oven clean and a holiday!

I’d rather use my time weekly to read!

I've never cleaned an oven, and I'm not sure it's ever been done. What is the point?

Power washing is so fun though!

We have windows cleaned every month
I nag my son to clean the car
I do the oven, the glass doors slide out ( you cannot imagine how pleased I was to find this out)
I don't iron, my DH will do this though .
We have shopping delivered , I am quite pleased not to have to traipse round with a full trolley . It means if I do go to Sainsburys I can browse things I;ve overlooked as it's just for odd items maybe not on the delivery or I get FOMO .
I like doing laundry but not pairing up the pesky socks

Due to my acquired disability I’ve had to swallow my pride and outsource as much as monetary possible in an attempt to keep my ‘normal’ level of household standards, I hate it 🥴

I'd love to have someone come and clean everything, deep clean the oven and kitchen. Do my huge pile of ironing that always just seems to grow.

But.. nervous cat. Don't do strangers in the house so we don't let people she doesn't know in.. I do like cleaning my car though. Warm summer day, clean, polish and on occasion hoover it. I've not done it so much where I am now as no drive and have to clean on a busy street.

I didn’t even know that you could outsource decorating your Christmas tree!

We outsource a whole lot of dull jobs - houseclean (£60/week), lawns (£30 / fortnight March - October), window cleaning (£15/month). I will never make puff pastry from scratch, even though I will happily make shortcrust pastry, meringues and other things from scratch. Ain't nobody got time for making puff pastry!!

Something I never do in my house is say "can you do <task> for me?" because it's not exclusively MY job. I will say "someone in this house needs to empty the dishwasher / start cooking dinner / <insert job>".

The people on compulsive cleaning TV shows do.

I'm surprised compulsive cleaners have time to watch cleaning prigrammes on the TV.

Our Eufy robot vac is unmitigated shite though . It sulks it's way round the bedroom, misses out the cat fur and sock fluff then gets stuck.
I try to re-route it -picking it up makes it sulk more .Still misses the cat fur/fluff
Then it announces it is done and scoots back to base .

I have to go round with the Shark vacuum and glare at the Eufy as I see just how much dust is in the cannister .
I have cleaned the roller , the filter and the dust collector and thrown the blasted thing into DS room . It can hide under his bed now .

Well, that's unfortunate for them, then, isn't it? What's the actual point of your comment?
OP, I outsource all domestic tasks, so cleaning, oven cleaning, car wash, etc. Life is too short.

Half an hour a week cleaning the oven? No thanks, I have a life.

Wash things to recycle them. I think it's all a bit of a con to make councils look good and seem like they're 'contributing' while charging us more for it.
There's no way most bins and therefore lorries aren't 'contaminated' with incorrect rubbish. Massive countries are polluting up a storm but I'm expected to rinse a chicken packet and a yoghurt pot to save the planet? No.

I pay for an oven clean once or twice a year.

I won't ever home educate by choice.

My mother always says she would rather move house than clean the oven. I agree with her. I do occasionally pay someone else to do it, but I won't touch it.
