What do you wear to do the housework???

[MummyTo2MonkeysAnd1Bug]

Just curious - i always do my cleaning on a Sunday morning - after breakfast, in my pyjamas and then when all the house is sparkly i go and have an indulgent soak in the bath, change into comfy sunday clothes and then prepare dinner.

What made me ask this is i just saw next door neighbour in the garden as i was hanging out the washing. Well we 'small talked' and it transpired she was doing her cleaning also....
In a Ghost dress!! I only know its ghost because my sister bought it for her reception outfit when she got married last month so you can imagine this is not a cleaning outfit!!!!

So what do you wear to mop the floors and scrub the bathrooms???

If I'm doing housework in the morning, same as you. Pyjamas and a bath afterwards. If I'm cleaning later I usually change into a t-shirt and jeans or something if I'm in a dress/skirt.

rags.
The oldest shabbiest tracky bottoms and such.

So it doesn't matter if bleach gets on them.

A tabard

jimmy choos and a Tiara nothing else!

no really, whatever I happen to be wearing that day (usually jeans)

Floral pinny and my hair in rollers.

normal every day clothes. TBH, I don't do housework that often so it rarely affects my clothing

a thong

this for teenagers bedroom

I usually just wear underwear and clip all my hair up as I end up like a manic wild haired sweaty beast a bit too warm otherwise.

I find it impossible to clean slowly. The plus side is that it doubles as a kind of workout. The downside is any unsuspecting people outside looking in!

Just what I'm wearing. If I had to get changed on top of cleaning nothing would ever get done

Quite agree with what cat64 said.

I do most the cleaning everyday so usually whatever I'm wearing to go out and get the shopping etc stays as I clean but if it's a big clean up I usually throw on my combats and vest and the old marigolds

I've never had a specific cleaning day like sunday etc, my big cleans usually happen when I see a big mess...or am feeling energetic enough to get sweaty and do some scrubbing! :P

Latex bodysuit.

And Ugg boots, for comfort.

LOL. funny thread.

scabby old cotton dressing gown. After finishing cleaning I indulge in a long bubble bath.

dressing gown

Joggers and an old t shirt

Am a complete slob at home, so I will wear trackie bottoms and grey T-Shirt, complete with a resplendant red pinny! in fact i have 2 red pinnys, one for housework and one for cooking.this is not too much is it?
I have also been known to go for a quick jog after the housework in the same clothes, minus the red pinny of course!

Sometimes I do the PJ thing like you.

However if it's a Sunday and were not going anywhere all day, I just shower early then wear my comfy cut off joggers.

But mostly it's just in my normal clothes during the day.

Mind if I join in?

I'm a SAHM, I have a kind of housework uniform. A few old t-shirts and comfy skirts. Oh and an old shabby, stained apron that I made myself.

Today though DD is teething and is v. hard work so I'm in my PJs eating a Double Decker.

Definitely wouldn't waste a ghost dress on scurbbing the floor...

typo...scrubbing that's meant to say, not scurbbing

do people seriously change or have special housework clothes???

its easier just not to do the house work surely?

if i did id probably go for a tutu,a tiara,pearls and 5 inch heels.

just realised i sound like a slut.im very not.

Tracksuit bottoms, zip sweat top or old jumper or T-shirt. Not pyjamas, as bra is necessary! Or casual things I am wearing that day anyway, with an apron over the top.

Nowt but a smile!
