How often do you clean?

And I mean like extreme cleaning not just sweeping the floor. I mean, sweeping, moping, vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the bathroom, kitchen etc...

I try to all the above at least once a week but sometimes Im just too tired.

Re: How often do you clean?

Daily. I pretty much do all the above everyday. I HATE a dirty house. Im anal about it.

Re: How often do you clean?

Sweeping - a few times a day. We have three cats...litter and fur would be everywhere if we didn't take care of it ASAP.

Mop - Once or twice a week

Bathrooms - Once a week

We have all hardwood floors, so no vacuuming. We use the dust buster a few times a day for cat hair.

Clean the kitchen - After every meal cooked, it gets a bit of a cleaning.

DH loves to clean, so it definitely helps out a lot. If I had to do this all myself, well...I wouldn't.

Re: How often do you clean?

i sweep and vaccum a few times a week because i hate crumbs on the floor. i will clean everything else every week maybe 2 if i'm just too busy one weekend.

Re: How often do you clean?

I wipe down the kitchen counters daily, dust once a week, sweep every other day sometimes once a day, vac and mop every other day.

I clean the bathrooms and showers every week.

Re: How often do you clean?

Most things once a week--but I try to clean up after myself (and DH ) every day so its not such a big job.

Re: How often do you clean?

I used to do it monthly.

It's been like 3 months now though. I really have to clean. It's starting to stress me out.

eta: everything's clean and counters get wiped down but I'm talking extreme cleaning - like bleach and scrub brush cleaning. It's def been like 3 months.

Re: How often do you clean?

daily, with a MAJOR cleaning, once a week.

Re: How often do you clean?

we usually do the floors and the dusting on sunday morning. laundry, counters, dishes, etc. get done as we go throughout the week, but a lot of times we play catch-up with that on sunday too.

Re: How often do you clean?

Once a week - sometimes every other week if things get crazy busy.

Re: How often do you clean?

Every few days bc I do everything in stages - it's not easy to clean with an active 2 yo who actually wants to help too lol

So one day I'll dust, vacuum & mop...another day I'll scrub the bathroom (this I wind up doing twice a week), etc.

Re: How often do you clean?

I vaccum twice a day ( we have hardwoods but also 2 kids, 2 dogs and a DH)
Mop and dust every other day

Kitchen is cleaned several times a day

We have cleaning ladies every 2 weeks but I clean something everyday

Re: How often do you clean?

Once a week - if it needs to be done more, than I suck it up and do it again

Re: How often do you clean?

Hardly ever. My daily routine is cleaning dishes, wiping down counters, sweeping up the floors and laundry. I also do grocery shopping and cooking. Nothing else. I just don't have the time. I have a housekeeper who comes in 2x a month. She mops, scours the bathrooms and dusts. Rob also will vacuum and do some heavier cleaning maybe twice a month.

Me? I usually air out the house when the weather turns nice in April/May and clear the clutter. Otherwise nothing except the daily routine as defined above.

Re: How often do you clean?

Once a week the dusting, vaccuming, bathrooms, laundry..

Mopping once every 2 weeks.

Kictchen gets wiped down daily

Re: How often do you clean?

I try to clean one room deeply a day, and then do daily kitchen and bathroom wipe downs.

Re: How often do you clean?

I straighten up daily, but do a major cleaning every Saturday or Sunday morning.

Re: How often do you clean?

Major cleaning weekly. All bathrooms-everyday. I never go to sleep with a messy kitchen/dishes in the sink. I like waking to/coming home to a clean home. I hate clutter so it just doesn't exist in the house. I attack clutter daily and viciously-Mail, paperwork, newspapers, circulars, etc.

Re: How often do you clean?

Not often enough. But it is what it is.

Re: How often do you clean?

Re: How often do you clean?

All those once a week- daily I have a routine that my DH and I share so the apartment is maintained.

Re: How often do you clean?

Big clean once a week. Tidy up everyday.

Re: How often do you clean?

I've started keeping windex and paper towels under every sink (bathrooms and kitchen) and after the last time I use each for the night, I give them a quick rub-down. I also spritz the toilet seat and tank, and every other day I'll spritz the floor or tiles (I alternate). I can't tell you how much I feel like the quality of my home life has improved for this. 5 extra minutes of work, and I smile when I wake up to a sparkling kitchen and bathroom every morning.

Re: How often do you clean?

clean the kitchen counters; stove each night after dinner. Sweep a couple time a week to get the dog hair up. Clean the bathroom; mop the floors; windex windows; coffee table once per week.
