I love to clean my Leather couches. They are plagued by crumbs, juice and milk so when I wipe them down with a leather conditioner, they SHINE!

My favorite thing to clean is the bathroom! I can’t believe that myself but it’s small to start with so the reward of completion comes quickly and I’ve got into a routine that seems to work.

I like to do the laundry – does cleaning clothes count? Because other than that, I pretty much hate cleaning.
Although, I do like my sink to be all shiny and pretty and am perhaps a wee bit obsessive about giving it a quick scrub-down after every meal….

I love picking up the house, first. Putting things where the go and seeing the result, even if there is dust around, is my favorite thing. Organized chaos, I think. Second, I really don’t mind cleaning the kitchen. There is something to be said for a shiny, clean kitchen. Of course, the problem is that it gets dirty right away when you cook!

Idont love it! BUT, I love a clean house. So, I do it anyway.
