Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I feel like Roman is all over the house so I can never vacuum, sweep and mop when I want to. Do you wait until after baby goes to bed? When do you vacuum? I hate seeing dog hair all over knowing he is crawling all about.

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

when she's napping. I've even vacuumed her room while she was sleeping in her crib

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

Whatever you do not get the swiffer sweeper with the spray liquid. It has a chemical in it similar to anti freeze.....very toxic...although they deny it. I would not use swiffer to clean the floors anyhow. A goos ole mop does a good enough job for me

Edited to add.....Swiffer wet jet

I do everything after they go to bed when it comes to mopping. But I vacuum when the kids are awake. I just put the baby in the exesaucer or do it while he's sleeping.

I vacuum when they are sleeping or sitting in theri swing/bouncy seat.
The vacuum actually puts them to sleep

Clean floors Who has the time

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I am constantly cleaning the floors on my hands and knees!!! I vacuum the living room rug at least once a day, and the hallway also!

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I vaccuum around here. She just follows me around or keeps playing. Same with mopping the floor. Usually she stays out. Somehow I manage to keep her off the wet part I just mopped.

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

Never Well it feels like it anyway. I vacuum around her. I swiffer the wood floors. I put her in her exersaucer thing and go to town and mopping doesn't happen very often at all but I keep her out of the kitchen so I don't sweat it.

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I stand corrected. I learned about it a few months ago and checked it out on truth or fiction...it was true then...and now it is gone. Thanks..I hate to cause an uproar over something that is false.

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I vacuum everyday. Alex loves to help. When he was younger I would vacuum around him, now he just runs around and plays or helps me. When I mop (1x or 2x a week) I bring him down to MIL (lives with us) and mop.

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I will vaccum around him sometimes, or I put him in his jumper. I'll mop when he naps. He finds every little microscopic thing and puts them all in his mouth so I have to vaccum and mop a lot.

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

depending on their moods, if theyre chillin out watching TV, I can get the floors done then, or while they nap. really depends on the day. They know to go with the flow, I get as much done as possible with them around. Its part of life, I cant skip around them. We have fun, and then we chill while mommy get some cleanup and cooking done.

I use all non-toxic (melaleuca) products. they smell good and no toxins in my home

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I vacuum and mop pretty much everyday-

There is a gate that keeps him from the kitchen- therefore- I have no problem mopping- and well DS is obsessed with the vacuum (he basically stands in front of the closet door asking for it) so he just chases me around with his little vacuum...

When he was younger I either did it when he was asleep or in his swing/bouncer

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I probably don't clean our floors as often as I should or need to! I udually do it after they go to bed. Even though their rooms are on the same floor, but are heavy sleepers and sleep through it all.

Re: Moms when do you get to clean your floors

I use the dry swiffer daily after Sydney goes to bed or in the morning if I have time before I go to work.--- I have to with the dog hair. I use the swifer wet about twice a week and vacuum once a week.
