Vaccuming - Am i the only crazy one??

I do it once a week and sweep on other days. We don't have carpet in the house, but I vacum and mop once a week to keep it clean as we have dogs. Today I did it, and then it rained, and then the girls ran out in the rain and came back in with mud... then they let the dogs in. I just let it all dry and swept it up... then I put a wet rag over the muddy bits. I wasn't going to do the floors over just for one small muddy bit.

I do it once a week and same as Laranna, before visitors. I could not be bothered doing it any more often.

I do the living room once a day, sometimes twice but only cos it can get crunchy underfoot with hard boards.....and for my sanity. The vac lives in the living room usually.
The rest of the place once/twice a week and you can hardly tell compared to the general messiness.

I'm with you Turkish Delight, I often vaccuum 2 or more times a day!

ATM (still settling in with a newborn) it's only getting done 1-2 times every two days and it annoys the crappers out of me!

I vacuum once a day also...have to - I cannot stand the bits of crap on your feet when you walk around (we have a lot of lino in the house and no rugs yet.)

So no, I dont think you are mad at all! Vacuuming is just part of my everyday routine now, so I hardly notice ...but I notice if I dont do it!

Me too - at least once a day, very often twice.

That has only been since we moved into this house with two kids though - we have tiles throughout and a big rug in the loungeroom. I cannot stand to leave crap all over the rug so usually vaccuum around lunch time and then later in the afternoon if needed. Generally only the loungeroom would get done twice though.

It doesn't really phase me but I've seriously been considering a hand held Dyson - I've seen them in action and they're amazing!

[Turkish Delight]

Woo-hoo. I'm not the only crazy!

OMG, I thought I had OCD when it came to cleaning the house, but clearly not!! lol.
I actually do the vac once a week, but wait, I vac EVERYTHING. Couches, cushions, chairs, lamps, remote controls, phones, tables, computer, printer, my cat....lol. When the vac comes out I am ruthless.
I actually feel better now, I'll have to tell my friends I am not a clean freak like they think I am haha.

only once per week at the moment and it's driving me crazy. I just can't find the time during the week at the moment with a small baby who doesn't sleep much during the day (and when he does I'm not vacuuming!). We have a fireplace and drag wood and crap in all the time. I just have to ignore it until Saturday morning. In my perfect world I would probably do it once a day, but I just can't see it happening.
