What's your cleaning 'Schedule'?

[Novella]

I try and clean the house all inone day but if I cant I have it slpit into thirds
-the girls bedrooms, bathroom and laundry
-the kitchen, family room and dining
-our bedroom, ensuite, front hallway and lounge

I do a load of washing most days and always seem to have a load that needs to be put out, taken in or put away no matter what I do

I have started cleaning the sheets on a different day to the day I do the dusting, bathroom floors etc as I just dont have time to get it all done at once and spend time with the girls.

At night I cook, df gets home we all eat, df gives the girls their baths and has a play while I clear the table, do the dishes and sweep the floor. He then gives dd1 her milk and we all relax as a family or about 30mins before kids go to bed.

When the girls are asleep in the afternoon I do gardeing or wash the floors, the jobs that are too hard to do when they are awkae

I work 2 days a week and will dtart doing 5 shifts a fortnight soon. I take the girls shopping with me dd1 in the trolley and dd2 falls asleep in the baby carrier. I try not to see the dirt sometimes, my house looks like it needs cleaning after 5 days but I only do it every 7 days. Hell it looks like it needs cleaning 15mins after ive finished if everone is home

PS my oven is revolting and I cant imagine how long it will take to clean when I finally get around to it

Mine was like that too........to the point that everytime I turned it on it smelt like we were having a burn off inside! It feels like I have a new oven again now! I am planning on trying to keep it that way.....maybe !

I would love a day to just go through the entire house and get it done. I seem to get half the house done at a time.....

I have sort of cleaning schedule. Try to do bit on weekend while DF is around but usually mon and tues morn my clean days. I try not to stress too much now about it.
I do vacuuming, toilets, change sheets, shower/ bath once week. (well try too anyways!)
Washing when the basket is full I know thats one full load in the machine so do it whenever it gets filled.
I sweep the floors downstairs quickly while DD1 is eating breakfast.
Clean/ tidy kitchen daily
And usually have to do a few tidy up thru out the day.
The best thing I found was not to stress too much about it all, prioritse whats important to you and do what you can in the time frame you have. If I'm having a bad week i may only get floors and sheets changed.
And I also recruit Df to do something on a sat morn if I'm behind on things.

I try to do house work every day. Bathrooms get done once a week, but they get a wipe down nearly everyday.
I generally get up in the morning and put on a load of wash straight away, give the house a quick tidy. I feed DS in between the tidying. I change the beds every 2 weeks and vacuum 2 times a week. I don't have any particular day that I do housework, I just try and do a bit everyday.
Polishing is done on a Sunday and dusting the following week.
I try not to do housework on a Saturday, but sometimes this can't be helped. I find washing is my worst nightmare. If anyone has tips on how this can be managed, yell out!

Every morning before school drop off time I make sure all the beds are made and that the kitchen has been cleaned, dry dishes put away and dirty dishes washed or put in dishwasher (my saving grace). That way when I get home I dont walk in and get all "down" from looking at a messy kitchen. I will also quite often also do a wash straight away in the morning and put that on the line if weather permits or in the dryer. So by 8.30 I feel like at least half the battle has been won.

I usually come home straight away Monday or Tuesday mornings and wait for my Coles Online. I use that as an excuse to stay home all day and clean! On the day that I am at home waiting for shopping I usually aim to do my ironing and clean the bathrooms.

Vacuming the whole house is usually done twice a week - once on weekends and once again during the week (whenever I find the time, no set day). The meals and living areas are usually vacumed around 3 times a week. This is usually done early in the morning - around 9-10am. Mopping is only done once a week unless something major has been spilt.

Putting away clean clothes is done ad hoc - I try not to leave the basket more then 24 hours otherwise it simply piles up and becomes unmanagable. Changing sheets is a once a fortnight job on weekends when DH is home.

I do find that mornings are the best time to get most stuff done, its when I feel my freshest and most motivated, it all goes downhill after that!!

we have gastro at the moment so Im over washing I have 5 loads in various stages around the house at the moment
I save time with ironing- I don't do it (I do iron my work uniform and DF shirt if we are going somewhere nice) most clothes look ok if I hang them out straight away and I often put clothes on hangers straight from the machine and then hang them on the washing line, saves time when I go to put them away and they have hardly any creases
