What do you do and how often do you do it???

[~me~]

I look around daily and think to myself that my house will never be as clean as I want it!

Yep that! Then I move on do something else other than cleaning

[~Hestia~]

Vaccum & mop - every second day. Our floor gets quite gritty as Moo hates eating in his highchair, most meals and snacks he eats on the run! So I would love to do it everyday but the vac is so big and heavy I just can't be bothered. Hoping to get a good dust buster soon though which should help heaps!

Toilets - every week I think

Bathrooms & kitchen - every week, they all get a good clean but get tidied several times per day! I can't STAND clutter!

Linens - usually every week but with a shift working DH this might stretch out to a fortnight at times.

Dusting - hmmm...

Washing - at least a load per day!

#I do the washing every day as the machine gets full usually Only once a day sometimes more...

#do the dishes as we eat but sometimes they build up on dh's days off, coz he doesn't do anything in the kitchen at home as he is a Chef...

# Wash the bed linen once a week sometimes more... Dolma covers once a season

# Vacuum everyday more than once, I hate crumbs and ds loves to eat all day it's quick though and only downstairs... The whole house once a fortnight as upstairs doesn't even get messy

# My mum stole my steam mop and I am trying to get it back but ATM I wipe the kitchen floors every few days, on my hands and knees like a 50s wife I don't mind. My tiles are new and look great when clean... Also it's only a small area the kitchen, hall, and front door area ....

:yeahthat:

i have great intentions. but once DS is napping the draw of BB is usually too much

i try to do the dishes daily. never really make the bed - but we don't use a top sheet so making the bed only really means pulling the doona up! clean the toilets weekly...wipe the kitchen bench often...sweep the kitchen floor week. vacuum no where near as often as i should (although i do dustbust more often!).

the washing gets done though

I do nothing.
Every single day.

OK, I meant to pop in and say this isn't true, but forgot

Vacuum weekly.
Sweep when the floor is annoying me - sometimes this is three times in one day, sometimes it's every second day.
Mop when it seems to need it, which isn't very often. Spot clean spills
Make the bed most days (lately hasn't been every day, not much point when I get so tired from making it that I have to hop in for a nap)
Clean the toilet every day
Clean the shower once a week

I do nothing.
Every single day.

I haven't done much for months now! With being pregnant and then having a newborn what I do has been cut back dramatically. I guess in my mind (not sure if I actually am doing it as much now) I change the sheets once a week, wash towels a couple of times a week, do other washing every day almost unless it's raining but will still wash if the clothes are needed and I'll use the drier. I used to vac & mop 2 x a week now I'd be lucky if it's done once a week, we don't wear shoes inside and manage to keep it pretty clean, I'll have to get off my butt and pick up my act in that department as clean floors are my domestic must have! bathrooms get a quick once over weekly, sometimes more and showers a good scrub maybe once a month otherwise it's a quick wipe over with the rest of the bathroom. Windows maybe once a year lol they seem to stay clean (or maybe I don't notice) kitchen is done daily and ummmm I think that's about it.

Wow such a variety of replies. I'm another who can't cope with mess so my routine on at home days is
Unpack dishwasher from night before and reload throughout the day, usually gets 2 runs a day(dish drawer)
1-2 loads washing a day , sheets weekly, towels every 2-3 days.
Floorboard area gets swept 2-3 times a day depending on how much it needs!
Vacuum most days.
Beds made if I can be fagged but at least pulled up.
Dusting and wiping down of furniture every day.
Bathrooms get a big once over once a week but a little going over when they need it.
Kitchen as I go... DH can't stand a messy benchtop and I love it clear as well, even if the rest if the house is a shambles if the gorgeous spotted gum timber is clear from clutter and gleaming then everything else seems better!!!!

Toys get tidied at nap tome, before DH gets home and at bed time! I've given up trying to do them all day every day, and am in the process of decluttering too.

That's all I can think of, makes me tired just thinking of it all!!!!

[Fleur]

I do what I can, when I can.

And never as much as I think I should, or as often

[Catastrophic]

Kitchen is done all through the day
Sweeping under the kitchen table every meal time ( i have messy eaters)
Vacumming twice a week
one to two loads of washing a day
Towels down every 3 days
sheets once a week/fortnight
bathrooms weekly
Toilets every couple of days

[Enchanted]

Most days I stick to my routine which is: Get up, make beds and tidy bedrooms, tidy/wipe over bathroom and put out dirty washing from yesterday, pack breakfast dishes into d/w and pop on a load of washing. Most days I vacuum the main areas ie. living room, dining area & kitchen and the house gets mopped usually twice a week. Dusting & cleaning the bathroom/toilet is also usually once a week. Sheets are weekly *if* I can be bothered but can sometimes stretch out to 2.
