    Vaccuming - Am i the only crazy one??

    I have to vacuum the house everyday. Maybe sometimes twice a day. If i'm home, once in the morning and once after dinner. I can't leave the house if its not vacuumed nor tidy. That is they way i have seen from my mother and i just have to do it.

    My DH thinks i'm mad. He could go for days without vacuuming.

    How often do you vacuum?

    .....never if I can help it! I used to have a bad back and the most I could manage before I needed to lie down was 1 room at a time, so it used to take a whole week to vacuum the house and we'd just troop the dirt back into the clean rooms from the dirty ones. And I never had a clean house. So DH started to do it for me and now my back is better (thanks chiro!) I still play the helpless female and get DH to do it. He does it about once a week - but I have to bug him for a day or two before he will.

    That's a lot of vacuuming I only do it every fews days but agree it probably needs to be done more than that especially since we have an open fireplace and live in the country, no concrete etc

    I do it twice a week and before visitors if I know they are coming over. The other days I just do a sweep. I do vacuum everything though, tiles, carpet and the couch and the dining chairs.

    Wow, twice a day is extreme!

    I vacuum at least twice a week (luckily my mum usually does it once a week when she visits ) and sweep on the days I don't vacuum. I've got a very dodgy pelvis so it's quite an effort. I reckon I could easily vacuum once a day if I was up for it!

    I vacuum atleast twice a week and probably would do it more except with a young baby i honestly cant be bothered. I hate seeing dust on my floor boards and fluff on my rugs but i sometimes just have to ingore it cause i'v learnt that id rather rest for 10mins than clean it everyday as within an hour its probably going to get dirty again
