What is this cleaning of which you speak?
1. What housekeeping chore(s) do you hate doing the most?
Pretty much all of them. I hate dusting. And shoveling sucks.
2. Are there any that you like or don't mind doing?
Laundry is pretty much okay. Oddly enough, I like watching the washing machine fill and start the agitation process.
3. Do you have a routine throughout the week or just clean as it's needed?
It's more of a when-absolutely-necessary thing. Like if we lose one of the pets or something.
4. Do you have any odd cleaning/housekeeping quirks or rules?
Top to bottom, especially in the bathroom.
5. What was the last thing you cleaned?
Dishes.

Deciding the point where the bathroom goes from clean to not clean varies from person to person. This is why I pay someone to come and clean them so I don't have to worry about it.
I've discovered a vast difference between "boy-clean" and "girl-clean" -- I don't think men are trained like women are to pay attention to minute details (like whiskers in the tile grout, or hard water stains on the tub), and therefore think if it isn't crawling with tropical pond scum, it's clean.
When instructing my boyfriend when he helps clean, I always stipulate "girl-clean."
And you can't be afraid to get dirty.
OTOH, our downstairs bathroom is a disaster. Somewhere along the line it was decided that painting over wallpaper was a good idea, and now all of the wallpaper is peeling off in chunks v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. And when they had to do some work where they smashed holes in the walls, they decided to put up wood wainscotting, which is ugly and stains like a sonofabitch.
A bathroom remodel is in the cards, but awaits funding.
