How often do you clean your house?

Cleaned the bathroom today. You could eat off that toilet.

We have a cleaning lady come in once a week but it still feels like I spend half my life tidying up and doing dishes

i know people who use a cleaning service and they always say they tidy up before the service gets there so that they dont look like neanderthals. if you spend 2 hours cleaning up before the cleaning company arrives then spend another two and get rid of the service

my apartment complex keeps trying to sell me a maid service but I don't like the idea of someone going through my stuff. And I know where everything is and don't need it moved.

Dishwasher is run 2 times a week
Vaccum twice a week
Steam rug cleaner - as needed by Bogey or once ever two weeks
Bathrooms twice a week (guest bathroom maybe once a week - hardly used)
clean the fridge/freezer out every 4 months
general dusting once a week

ive contemplated getting a rug cleaner in once every 6 months as well as a cleaning service just a reset point but so far havent

Not nearly often enough.

She does a once-a-week thorough clean on Thursdays, but unless we're constantly tidying up the place will be pretty messy by Monday. We entertain often and I guess we're naturally messy

Sweep/mop/dishes - daily
De-cluttering is a never ending chore, especially with a kid in the house. Feels like I'm never caught up.

I hate hate folding clothes, so that sometimes piles up.

Cleaner comes in every two weeks, otherwise vac/sweep as needed. Daily dishes, decluttering, and laundry ugh.

I basically clean all the time. I love it, it helps me to stay focused on other things too while i do it.

I tend to put off laundry folding and putting away til I have a good podcast to listen to. That’s the one chore I can’t raw dog anymore or it literally sucks the life force out of me.

If I'm not folding my laundry while it's still piping hot, fresh out of the dryer, then something went wrong. When I hear that dryer ding, I'm running, not walking.

we live in a smaller place now and clean as we go..we do have a lady come by once a month for a deep clean but that's about it..I love folding warm laundry as well...I hate unloading dish washers though..we have friends here that have 2 dishwashers only so they dont have to unload..just take out clean stuff and then put it in the dirty one..brilliant..

Why fold clothes when you can just throw it back in the dryer for a few minutes?

I actually did a lot of cleaning yesterday and it's not because Spike insinuated this about me.
