how often do you clean...

[wishuwerehere]

Hmm...all these jobs, i probably do a bit of hoovering/dusting whatever every day but never the whole house in one go - so yday i hoovered downstairs, today i will prob hoover upstairs etc.
I/my oh load the dishwasher every day and unload each morning (waiting for the kettle to boil lol) and i will admit to sometimes leaving leftover dishes a day
Sweep the kitchen floor 2-3 times a day...can't keep up with mess my daughtet makes!
Wash sheets/towels at the weekend generally.
One big bathroom clean a week and try and wipe toilet and sink every 1-2 days.
Car i hoover...when it looks dirty! Oh will take it to the carwash
Laundry prob every other day but will have to change this when new baby arrives!
Rubbish at cleaning bags
And i'm lucky if my toothbrush lasts a month!

There is more like dusting paintings, cleaning ornaments, switches, etc. Balconies once a week but mopped & vacuumed everyday.

Inside fridges (we have 2) - once a week, I also clean the inside of the washing machine, dryer & dishwasher. Curtains are washed twice a year. Sofas once every 2 weeks, chandeliers twice a year

Did I mention that I have a full time cleaner

She follows a schedule, she works 4-5 hrs a day only, but she manages to do all this.

You were beginning to make me feel extremely insufficient, but knowing you get help eased my guilt a little

On a daily basis: sweep the floors, laundry, dishes, empty bin, clean kitchen counters, and general tidying.

Every few days: vacuum the bedrooms, dust, mop, quick clean of bathroom sink and toilet.

Every week: change bedding, give bathroom a good clean.

The other things such as skirting boards/cleaning inside the fridge/cupboards I tend to just do when I think they look like they need doing, which isn't very often in this house!

You people clean a lot. Does anyone work full time and still clean that much?!? Like seriously? I work 40 hours, I see LO for maybe 2-3 hours per day, I'm not wasting it cleaning. I am lucky if I get dinner made. I'm home alone with LO every night (DH works) and every weekend (DH works). I do enough cleaning to keep us living the next week, but beyond that I hardly have the time!

Towels - every 10 days or so, whenever we run out of clean ones
Hair or childs hair - 1x week

Dishes - 2-3x per week, I do it twice on the weekend and maybe DH does once during the week
Clothes - 1x per week, on the weekened
Teeth - 1x per day
Wash hand bag or school bags: Never
Dog - every few months
Floors - When they get dirty, maybe 1x week
Vacuum - every other week
Windows - haven't cleaned them since we moved in, the blinds stayed down all summer to keep the heat out.

I'm starting a full-time christmas temp job and I am wondering how any housework is gonna get done (DH works fulltime and does not do a thing round the house) I'm kind of hoping since nobody is going to be in the house all day it won't get messed up and require as much cleaning, hopefully.. xx

 

[kazzzzy]

I clean bedsheets - once a week

It doesn't work that way! LOL

I keep seeing how people "hoover" (cracks me up, thats a brand name around here, it's a vacuum!) every day?!? I have a huge house, to find time to get the vacuum out, vacuum everything, move from outlet to outlet, empty the bin on it, wind the cord up and put it away, all without bothering the a)dog, b)cats, or of course c)baby....geez.

I did finally master the back carry, but really? How many hours are in the day? I spend 8 asleep, 10 at work (driving, work, lunch), 2 cooking, 1 on personal hygiene and diaper changes, I mean that leaves 3 hours, but I like to play with LO for a while (I don't want him to forget me during the week!) and maybe sit down and rest for a bit....

Kinda makes me feel like a bad mom or something. I think though, working full time, I must be in the minority or something.
