Ironing? People still DO that? I just wash and dry my clothes and hang them up directly afterwards. I haven't ironed anything since I quit my job 12 years ago to take care of my parents who were ailing.
I can't think of anything in the house that I truly object to. I don't enjoy cleaning but I don't dread it either. I DO refuse to clean my daughter's and grandson's rooms though, and it is best that you walk through those areas with your eyes shut.
The only thing I truly DO detest is the yard work, but that isn't a job "in the house" as you've stipulated.

Vacuuming. I don't iron much, any more. If I get the clothes out of the dryer as soon as the buzzer goes off, and hang them up, most stuff doesn't need ironing.
Not like the old days when my Mom made me iron every washcloth and pair of socks, and every other dang thing that came off the clothes line.

I iron things as I want to wear them (put them away or hang them up creased) - which means that I rarely wear anything like linen that's difficult to iron.
My least favourite job is vacuuming - might hate it less if I got a new machine but can always find something more interesting to spend the money on.

I'm not keen on housework full stop, except it does look nice when it's done and polished. The least liked is washing up after cooking, all the extra bowls, pots and pans. I've got a pokey little kitchen, with sink and drainer to match and the hot water tap is so slow it takes all day to fill the bowl, so I end up using cold water.

Dishes and doing laundry. Dishes because there's no dishwasher, it's ME doing them, and the laundry because its in a basement with daddy longlegs and cobwebs. Blech! I sometimes bring a broom and get rid of them, but in two months its the same again.
I should iron more. It made the room feel cozier when I used to do it.

Have a dishwasher, self cleaning oven, don't mind vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms is OK, don't iron, What I hate is mopping the kitchen floor.

Vacuum cleaning is my job now that I don't have any lawns to cut, also most of the stuff in the vacuum cleaner comes from my black Labrador female so I can't complain about cleaning up after it.

The Bathroom particularly the bath, I don't mind the toilet strangely but the bath I some how find difficult (what a good question by the way)

Ironing and vacuuming are the two jobs I hate.
