So. Many. Distractions.
Getting motivated to clean or even do the dirty dishes is sometimes as difficult as getting motivated to go to the gym - but that's not all they share in common. Did you know that cleaning for two hours can burn 200 calories? That's right you can pump your favorite music and clean your place in place of cardio day! How's that for killing to birds with one stone?
It's THE Chair
OMG really? did you sneak into my house for this post panda? I actually tried to get rid of the half way chair but it just turned into a halfway floor pile... the chair is back.
Stubborn Dirt
Traditional gender roles are being turned on their head from the workplace to child-rearing, but when it comes to cleaning the numbers show that men are seriously slacking. Apparently the average woman cleans for 12,896 hours in her lifetime, while the average man cleans for only 6,448. That's a difference of 6,448 hours. So please ladies hand the men in your life the vacuum they have some hours to catch up on.
Gathering The Strength
Treacherous Spoon
Keep sneezing from all those dust particles? Well you are the one to blame. No, no not because you haven't dusted your room since last winter, but because roughly 70 to 80 percent of dust particles are made up of dead skin cells. So before you judge your cat or dog for all the shedding, just remember you aren't as clean as you think you are!
Dust Bunnies And Twinkling Stars
Everything's Better With Music
Our beds are our sanctuaries. Sure the floor may be covered in clothes but at least the bed is usually clean - wrong. When you cozy up to your pillow at night, your head isn't the only thing weighing it down. Roughly 10 percent of a pillow's weight is made up of dead mites and their droppings. Sufficiently grossed out yet? According to specialists your pillow should be replaced every one to two years.

Signs You're Getting Old
Cinderella had the birds and the mice to help her with her laundry, lets hope that all the characters at Disney World are just as helpful, because the magic park washes an average of 285,000 pounds of laundry every single day. To put that in perspective It would take you 44 years to do that same amount if you washed and dried one load of laundry every morning.

There's Messy And Then There's Messy
Why on earth would anyone store logs *within* an unused fireplace ? I mean, if it is unused then .. you ... you don't need to store logs ... right ? But even if you want to use it, you can't because ... there is a pile of logs. It ... it just ... doesn't make ... sense ... at all .... why ? WHY ?!

It's A Piece Of Room Decor
I once tried to iron something. Once. Long story short, I melted the ironing board a little, and never attempted to iron anything again.
On my wedding day my hubby said “you know what WIFE stands for, washing, ironing, f*****g etc.”. My reply was “sorry, I don’t do ironing”. I have kept to that promise. I have not ironed in over 13 years, we have been married for almost 11 years. My hubby irons though, he irons my hair with our clothes iron, hair straightener takes too long and hurt my arms.
switch over to a steamer - it's faster, less likely to ruin clothing, and you don't need the ironing board. Admittedly an iron does a better job - IF you use it
I had to use a steamer when I worked in a clothing store a long long time ago (feels like a lifetime ago!). I seriously hated that thing with every fiber in my being! I do not like to iron, but I'd rather iron than steam! And I agree, an iron does a better job!

when something wrinkles i just put it into the washing machine and hope that it magically un-wrinkles itself
I have found the secret to a non-ironing life. Wrinkle releaser spray. Best. Thing.Ever.
I never owned an ironing board nor an iron... Still survive all these years... (I'm 41 years old now)....
I only used it for drying jeans faster (had no dryer at the time). Also used, when I had a dog, for spreading things out to get all the dog hairs off them (for special occasions)
Rookie Mistake
Saving Both Water And Time
Sooo...I'm here reading stuff about cleaning, instead of...guess what? Yep, my place is a mess.
If I wash my apartment windows or the car, it WILL 100% rain within the next 24 hrs! Foolproof! ^--^
Haha, every time my boyfriend washes his truck, the first thing I'll say is: I guess it's going rain tomorrow (and it does).

I am amazed how normal it still is, that the woman cleans and the man does ... i don' know what the man does in the world of "only woman can clean properly".
If you have kids, and any of them are male, start instilling cleaning habits in them.

When I was growing up, I got the belt if my aunt/guardian saw any dust or dirt on her white gloves. Yes, she'd run a white-gloved hand over the furniture and mantels to make sure they had been properly cleaned. :|
Laughed out loud at so many of these things, threw up a little in my mouth at the last one. Urrgh.
Sometimes i can see the dust particles floating in my bedroom so i vacuum the air like it's actually going to do anything
Dishes are absolutely horrible. Certainly my least favorite chore. My mother has a tendency to leave condiments slathered in silverware and plates and such. Why...
Sometimes i want to clean my mom's house and others times i dont but it got to get done and get if over with because i don't want to here her nagging about the house is not being clean up. So i go ahead and get it done.
When it comes to cleaning, I hate to do it, but I do it so well. I was an Executive Housekeeper at a Hilton hotel for 10 years and me and my team won so many awards for cleanliness. Now I work as front Desk Clerk at a hotel, but I do a little bit of everything and I have the tendency to come in and redo peoples work because it is done halfassed. Everyone says I'm a little OCD, but it's not that, it's that there is a standard when working in hospitality and I work with some lazy a*s people. I can't help it, I'm a perfectionist.
