I used to be the SAME exact way.
My core issue: my mother would force me to clean, and it was never good enough. If I washed dishes, then it wouldn't be the way SHE wanted it done. If I cleaned the bathroom, she's always find one extra thing I could have done better.
Once I realized this issue, I stopped having the resistance towards cleaning.
And then, the next few years, I gradually found ways to make cleaning enjoyable. I love pretty products that smell and look nice - like Method cleaners.
I also found a lot of shortcuts - use Mr. Clean magic eraser to clean sink (it takes like 30 seconds to clean the sink itself and the area around it), those chlorox disposable toilet cleaner pads, etc.
After a while, I started to enjoy cleaning. It made me feel like a domestic goddess. In fact, now I do the dishes several times a day because I love how clean my hands feel afterwards!
