We all love Dezemba vibes, but in most Mzansi households, it comes with tedious spring cleaning.

December house cleaning chores

One woman had to face the ultimate home chore. She shared a video of her washing curtains in the bathtub by hand.

Admirable, right? Most would toss them in a machine and hope for no tears in the fabric.

It seems it's not all fun and games for her this festive season. Her post, captioned "It's about to be a long week," hit home for many who will be occupied with tedious chores.
