Hands down, dishes and laundry.
I don't even have to think twice about it. I'm so overwhelmed by laundry right now it can be suffocating if I take the time to think about it (which has been happening since it's my January focus)
Once I get laundry to the point I'm not overwhelmed by it I'm going to work on setting the kids up with a system so they are doing their own laundry and starting good habits now.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the laundry and dishes I have a clean and tidy house. The rest of the stuff doesn't bother me at all-- it just gets clogged up by the stupid laundry and dishes.

Putting things away (to include picking up, sorting, making space and so on).
And the paperwork (including filing, shredding, dealing with, recycling, etc.).
If those things did themselves I could cope with dishes and laundry.

For me most definitely toilets and bathtub, I cleaned one of the bathrooms yesterday and I'm still having breathing problems due to all the bleach that was needed to get rid of the mold..

mafixit, I'll do your toilets and tub daily if you'll help me get rid of my mount washmore and learn good habits.
I don't use bleach though, I'm partial to vinegar soaks for mold, baking soda for scrubbing, then maintenance with hydrogen peroxide.

Definitely dishes. I get so sick of washing dishes by hand everyday. What else? I love laundry. I don't know why but I always have enjoyed that. Ahh I got it = Car wash itself!!!!!! I get so tried of the van being dirty but yet it's such a big job either that or I have to fork over quite a lot of money to get it done in the drive thru thingy -- which I just don't like paying that much.  |

I thought that I dreaded laundry, but one day I found I felt incredible delight while in front of the washer. Then I realized that I was washing my wool sweaters, which I just love handling and wearing. So if I would purge my wardrobe of the stuff I dislike, I might actualy ENJOY taking care of my clothes. (I wonder where those sweaters are?- Likely buried under piles of ill-fitting stained raggedy clothing) |

I wish I could have self cleaning bathtubs and floors. But I know that will never happen, but I can dream can't I? |

I don't use bleach though, I'm partial to vinegar soaks for mold, baking soda for scrubbing, then maintenance with hydrogen peroxide. see I don't mind laundry, I do at least two loads everyday (four kids+dogs, cats, rabbits). I would totally take you up on that, ! The kids bathroom was so gross, I had been avoiding for over a month  , I wished I'd known about all the cleaners you mentioned.. thanks! I thought only bleach would get rid of mold.  |
