I may hate vacuuming worse than I hate doing the bathrooms!! We ripped up bout 1600 ft sq of wall to wall and put in hardwood in the last few years. I actually LIKE doing my floors now!!! If you have carpet, I don't care how often you vacuum or shampoo, it's really really gross. You have no idea how much crap gets ground in until you've got hardwood and can SEE the dirt/dust/doghair/crumbs every day!!!!

Another thing that affects attitude: new/old. We redid the oldest most hard used bathroom and it's so nice an shiny, it's nice to keep it that way. Our master is up next, and it was needing a redo when we bought the house. We have a huge calcium problem here, and lets just say it's not inspiring to clean an old funky bathroom where it doesn't make any difference.

Every thing we put in we try to do for "easy to clean" as one of the requirements.
