Mopping the flooors. We have huge amounts of tiled floors and combined with two kids, a cat and a dog they are constantly covered in muddy foot/paw prints, sticks/leaves the dog brings in, fluff, fur and who knows what sticky stuff. I wouldn't mind doing it so much if it actually stayed looking clean for longer than, oh, I don't know, 3.5 minutes!!! Most of the time it gets done cos I'm worried we're going to catch bubonic plague if I don't

CK - I'm MUCH closer to you than OP. I'll happily fold your washing if you wash my floors ;-) Love folding the washing. Find it a bit therapeutic.
