How often do you clean your house?
Question:Not just pick up, I mean super clean (vacuum, dishes, counters, bathroom, laundry, organize)
I pick up everyday but I only clean the bathroom and dishes, laundry, etc twice a week. Do most people do this everyday?
P.S: We don't have kids, just my husband and I in a 1 bedroom apartment. We have class and work 5 days/wk so we aren't home constantly.

You're doing fine. I was a professional housekeeper for many years and I can tell you that keeping up with clutter everyday and wiping up spills as they happen is key. Bathrooms are tricky. If you do some preventative work, such as car wax on the shower stall walls and door only,(not the floor), water will bead up and soap scum won't stick so when you are ready to "deep" clean it will go faster. A big clean in the fall instead of the spring, will leave you with a clean, fresh house all winter when you're stuck inside. Of course, it doesn't hurt to do it again come spring. The MAIN thing is to keep up with it and then it doesn't become overwelming.
Twice a week.
My personal opinion; if is only you and your husband and it seems that you both are pretty busy, therefore not that many guests during the week, I assumed, you should deep clean your house once a week. I prefer every Saturday, turn up the radio( for motivation), and have my kids(in your case your husband) help you...Does that sounds good??
I think you are doing well. Most of the people depending where you live will clean accordingly. In area where you have more dust, they will clean daily, other places depends. the main thing is to keep the house clean , it doesn't have to be aseptically clean. Also dirtballs should not be running around.
I wish I could do it more often. Once a week normally.
I typically pick a different thing each day rather than all at once. With two kids, someone is always doing laundry (it seems). Dishes are everyday or every other day (we trade off with the oldest child), counters are done along with the dishes, and major dusting is done every other week (roughly). Organizing is done at least weekly, while bathrooms are typically every other week.
I clean everyday but slack off on the weekends.... weekends are for fun and spending all my time with my family...
I have two kids and a messy hubby so I have to pick up and do dishes and laundry everyday..vacuum every other day...but I only scrub down the bathroom and mop once a week...but if it was just the two of us I would only probably do that stuff like twice a week too...
we have 2 little girls .everything gets cleaned everyday ..
and usually after they are done with the home renovations ...we end up vacuuming 2 times a day !
i wipe the benches every day ( at least twice --- because ants get into everything ) i wash my dishes every night for similar reasons ; i launder every couple of days --- because my job demands it ( and we sweat a bit in the tropics ) i clean the shower a least once a week --- the toilet every --- the hand basin the same --- simply because it would just get out of hand ! i workn six days a week . good luck
Wow. You're good.
I'm single, no kids, and live in an apartment with two roommates. I probably do the dishes about once a week and I'm constantly picking up, but the rest of that stuff, I'm lucky if I get to it once a month. Except for the bathroom, my roommates and I take turns cleaning that, so it gets done at least once every two weeks.
So I'm impressed with your cleaning schedule. I barely touch the vacuum or the dust stuff. Geez, now I feel dirty...
:)
Everyday: dishes, counters
Every other day: laundry, vacuum,
Once a week: bathroom
Or all when needed. I have 2 kids (3 & 4)
i clean my house on weekends only i do the dishes and minor things throughout the week but I really clean on the weekend.
i have a cleaning schedule, about 20 mins in the morning and 20 mins at night m-f
mon a.m. - dishes
mon p.m. - dust
tues a.m. - bedroom
tues p.m. - bathroom
weds a.m. - kitchen floor
weds p.m. - living/dining room floor
thurs a.m. - dishes
thurs p.m. - specialty ( windows, mini blinds, clean out fridge -- you know, the things you don't do normally!!)
i try to throw in a load of laundry every morning or every other morning and then throw it in the dryer when i get home!
I'm a clean freak and an organizational Nazi so this might be a little much... but it keeps me sane
and don't laugh but i have this list laminated, shrunk and taped into the front of my day planner
Sounds fine to me. I clean a room each evening ( spending about 30 minutes) when i get home from work. I do the Living room on Thursday and the Kitchen on Friday, then i have my week end free and this keeps me from spending a whole day cleaning, Works for me
deep clean 1 a week dust and mop ect daily
