putting away laundry alone takes between 8 to 12 business weeks

I don't have a bed, or the materials to make one, losing interest. I am the coffee maker, interest lost.

Fffffffffffffffffuck this! Laundry every fucking day?!

I live next to a Mormon family of 8. They do laundry literally all day every day! Lol

Sounds like a stay at home wife kinda list from the 50s...lol

I stay in hotels a lot for work. Due to the pandemic, they cut back on having room service visiting rooms everyday, and making the beds therein. And they've kept it that way (obviously saves them money). I prefer it. I don't want to be untucking the duvet everyday. And I never make my bed at home. What's the point?
zmxme
The logic behind half of this list is absent.

Every day: "Do laundry, as needed" So like, not every day then? Should be a weekly thing unless you live in a household that makes so much laundry it actually is a daily task..
SkeksiLady
We do laundry daily. Four people in the house, one works in a warehouse, one works food service, it's winter. (More layers). We typically have 1-2 loads a day.
Valatros
Yeah, this is pretty clearly a "Housewife taking care of household chores for entire family" style list. You can do laundry basically all week with two kids and two adults worth of laundry to do, and with the extra use everything gets with a full family the frequency boost on some of these makes more sense.
But if you're the average live-alone imgurian this list is silliness.
KrondorMocker
I haven't even worn it since I last did the laundry..... but in it goes again!!
heptadecagram
Nowhere in this list is “clean dryer lint”, and that’s probably the biggest safety hazard
pvtsquirel
That's just part of doing laundry unless you're a moron
conflictmuffins
To be fair, i *could* space out my laundry to every other day, but why would i? I'm tired after work! I prefer to just do all 3 loads on Sunday (clothes, towels & throws, bedding), and i do them in between my other weekly house chores. Pretty much, aside from pre-rinsing dishes daily... All my chores are left until Sunday because i have a job M-F and i take Saturdays off to relax.
UseYourVoice
Aw, that's cute: they think I actually have time to clean!

Are you serious? With my ADHD? You'd be lucky if I do one of those things a week

Yeah I need an ADHD version of this.

I managed to empty and refill the dishwasher yesterday, AND made food. I take that as a win. Didn't find the energy to get firewood, so it's a bit cold in here, but at least I did two things!
Tried a higher dose of meds, they calmed me down too much, didn't get anything done for months until I realised that this isn't working, back to mild meds that don't work that well anymore, trying to clean up the mess that accumulated during the stronger meds. Ughhh. ADHD is such a pain in my ass

Wash your car every 3-6 months? That's a dirty-ass car soon to have a shot paint job.
GharStuff
Yeah so many of these are super frequent, but that one is far far too infrequent. Especially if you live somewhere that salts the roads.
QuanticChaos
Right? And you know that person never washes the wheel wells, and the engine bay... that car would be awful to service.
Gotcha44
Wash less often!
- Wear clothes longer. Clothes will last longer, less pollution through washing.
(Do change your underwear and socks every 2-3 days, please.)
You can wear jeans for a long time without washing, and you should.
- You don't need to wash your bed every week, unless you do more in your bed than sleeping in it. I wash mine every 3 weeks/month and it's fine. Wash on lower temperatures.
Heelcat70
I've gone without washing my car for several years. I hate it and it doesn't deserve to be cared for.
GharStuff
I'm not wearing anything that touches the groin or underarms more than once in a row. Anything else I agree about washing less often.
TheMurderousCricket
And may you enlighten us where this 185-hour day planet could be found?

No way. It's the list for a full time job. Sounds like a way to justify keeping women at home. Don't fall for that!

#1 me: hmmm ok lets see what this has to say starting at the top left of the list... make bed?!?! FUCK YOU! ya lost me!
SkeksiLady
I actually started making our bed daily and it actually helps kick start my day. It's also much nicer to get into at night without having to fix everything. It takes like two minutes.
squirrelgirl86
Honestly I used to do this but my husband and I sleep with separate blankets and that's just no nice looking way to make that bed that isn't a pain come bedtime
obviouslyrob
There’s no reason to “make a bed” outside of aesthetics. I can’t sleep with my feet weighted down by anything. Making the bed is pointless for me.
ImLurkingOnImgur
Meh it does fluff up your stuff. Depending on the materials in your blanket/pillow it will feel nicer.
Beelsebooob
In fact, there’s reason not to. Making the bed traps stagnant air inside your blankets, and encourages bugs to grow. You should actually leave your bed to air off all day for hygiene.
MerriMod
Strictly speaking, wouldn't it be better to hang your blankets and sheets up somewhere to let them and the mattress air out until night?
toolzgalore2
Yeah, nope to the timeframe on like 80% of these
Alzeido

Wash laundry everyday as needed. So not everyday? Like once a week is good
sirdouglasbuttersworth
Depends how many kids/dependents/pets you have I think.
Wulph421
Wash car every 3-6 months...? I like my car and I don't want the winter road salt rusting the floor out from under me
sirdouglasbuttersworth
It's probably been 3 years since I washed my car..
toolzgalore2
No kidding... But also I can't remember the last time I washed my car that wasn't through one of those automated things after a snow
NotADutchman
And that’s how we got allergies.
Eschscholtzia
Could you expand on that ? is it that in the process of overcleaning we weakened ourselves ?
NotADutchman
BillyPancakes expressed exactly what I was thinking. Cleanliness is one aspect to consider. Our industries and what they do and have done, are another. Thinking about forever chemicals and such but also food production.
BillyPancakes
I have no sources to hand for this, but there is a theory that allergies have skyrocketed, relatively speaking, due to us just leading cleaner lives in general. By exposing children less to natural environments and heavily curating the times they are outside, we've increased their sensitivities later in life. This is just one of a few theories, we don't actually know for sure why allergies are a thing.
JarJarDrinks
Don't dishwashers clean themselves?
Concretekirby
There’s usually a trap/filter in the dishwasher for food particles beneath the rotating arm that needs to be cleaned periodically
JinButOnHisPhone
Every once in a while it's good to run it 3mpty on the hottest setting to dislodge and dissolve any buildup, same with washing machines. I tried a dishwasher cleaning pod (like £3 for 2) recently and those brought the insides up like new. So maybe do that once a year?
Etherealvalentine
Oh god.
GharStuff
You can buy these bottles of dishwasher cleaner. You pop them open (except for a meltable wax seal), toss them in the top rack upside down, and run the dishwasher on the highest setting. Definitely good to do once in a while.
Etherealvalentine
You need to clean the filter.
GharStuff
I didn't say not to? I was just mentioning dishwasher cleaner.
Etherealvalentine
I was just making it clear for others who read the thread. :)
Barlort
There's no reason to make your bed. Just fold the blanket and put it at the foot of the bed. Much easier, bed stays tidy, and you'll still feel better about everything.
conflictmuffins
Yeah, you're supposedly to let your bed air out for at last 1hr after waking to let the sweat and such to dry off. Every morning i open the curtains and window to air out the room and i don't make the bed until about noon. (I have pets, so i prefer the bed be made daily so they only get their fur on the duvet).
qwertdeep
It’s much much more hygienic too

And yet, there are places (for example Germany) where a regular (yearly) chimney check & sweep is required by law. Does not matter if not used, as long as the chimney exists.

Yep. Lost me at make bed.
KitchenClean
It's only takes less than a minute to do and the bed takes up over 60% of your room. So when I come home I always feel great seeing my bed made. 🥰

I get from this list that I shower way too often
LookingForDwightSchrute
Was this a list written by a man to give to his wife in the 1950’s or something?
SerialChickenLover
No, today to give to his Trad wife, who he gaslit into believing this is her choice
CairoLen
My sister
TeaOverdose
The thing about guys who want a stay at home wife is that they never make the salary needed to cover a whole family's expenses. If they want a traditional wife, they need to work like traditionnal husbands.
ResonanceChaos
Your statement isn't incorrect, but the problem is that doing so has become harder and harder over the decades, to the point that any one person working like a traditional husbando used to with a good paying corporate job can only feaseably cover themselves.
ipeefreely2
Passssssss. Squeegee shower daily? Wipe down all surfaces and sweep daily?
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
Ikr! I am in burnout depression and shower way less frequently than I should when my daughters not with me as I collapse. Cleaning stuff… man, I struggle to even eat and shower.
meskarune
I mean sweeping around the kitchen table everyday kind of makes sense if you have kids who are messy, otherwise naw.
3Davideo
Yeah I don't even *use* the shower daily. I *should* but that's another issue.
nddstgm9gz12
Technically, you don’t have to shower every day as it can be bad for your skin. But in reality it can be a bit iffy to skip a day.
vegivamp
The soap is what's bad for your skin, although water that's too hot also doesn't help.
Unless you work in the proverbial coal pits or have a body outdoor issue you don't need to use soap with every shower. Sweat and dust just rinse right off. But like usual the brainwashed soap eaters will downvote this to oblivion...
Anfalicious
The shower thing makes it heaps easier, takes like 30 seconds. If you're leaving it for months it's almost impossible to get clean again. Same with the kitchen, 5 minutes a day makes it a lot easier. I have a chronic illness, disability and am lazy, and this is what I've learnt by my mid 40s
Hexarcy00
I used to squeegee the glass walls of my shower, every shower. They would still get soap scummy. Recently I switched to using a small towel. The glass has looked great for months! Gotta wash the towel though.
arthonnen93
I'll give this a try. I've been using a squeegee, and every month or so doing a quick scrub with a brush and some soft scrub. Really gets them clean quickly, but I'm open to cutting out extra steps.
HerrHat
I use ethanol based cleaning/desinfectant spray on mirrors. Cleans fast and dries fast after wiping without marks or stripes. I'd wager it would work on shower glass walls aswell
Beelsebooob
But… why?
TealcPI
Where I live has very hard water (full of lime) so after 1 shower the glass walls look like they haven't been cleaned in months. Definitely trying the towel trick because squeegeeing takes ages.
Hexarcy00
why what? Why do you clean anything
conflictmuffins
I have hard water that leaves nasty water spots that are difficult to clean once it builds up (and it builds up FAST). A squeegee solves that problem and is quick and easy... Leading to less cleaning time for me later.
Hexarcy00
yes, and what I said is that I've found a towel does a better job than the squeegee. And it's not even close. It's way better
NickRivieraMD
saves time in the long run. Prevents mold, and the couple minutes after each shower saves, what, half an hour a week?
Mairoa
Yeah I spent maybe 5 minutes every 3 months cleaning my shower, clean it first sign of dirt on the bottom, well before mold. Do not see how this would save time. I live in a very wet climate
Beelsebooob
I have absolutely not spent 26 hours a year dealing with mold in the shower. I'd go with maybe 2 hours every 5-10 years digging out the sealant and applying new stuff.
NickRivieraMD
The 30 minutes a week is general cleaning. You're not gonna save all of it, but squeegeeing right after shower cuts it down a lot. And then mold growth is dependent on climate, plumbing and construction, and ventilation.
