Re: cleaning poll

  • I can answer them all with one phrase: not often enough.

     

    Though, laundry happens once a week, and dishes happen when needed, so several times a week. But it doesn't get "really" clean around here unless someone's coming over or I get bitten by the cleaning bug. I realize I am not helpful.

  • Laundry- one load every day or sometimes 2 loads every other day.

    Dusting- once a week, but I alternate areas so each room here dusted every other week

    Vacuum- 3 times a day in the kitchen, everywhere else somewhere between once a day and once a week

    Dishes- at least once a day

    Bathroom- once a week, except tubs/showers. Those I do every other week

    Sheets- usually every other week unless they get someone's bodily fluid on them :)

    Windows- once every 6 months maybe

    Ditto this. Sheets get changed once a week during the weekly laundry session.I also vacuum up the gobs of dog hair once a week, though it really should be more often.  What's dusting? Why would I need to wash my windows on a regular basis- I can still see out them!

    Basically, I do almost all my cleaning on weekends, except for immediate stuff that has to be done during the week.

  •  Yea, we're gross. I'm ok with that :)

    --laundry - I do mine every couple of weeks; DH does his every 3 days (since he has 3 pairs of scrubs that he rotates)

    --dusting- when I notice it on the furniture, so once a month?

    --vacuum- our carpet is the color of dirt- yay! So once every 2 months?

    --dishes- Daily. I am a freak about kitchen cleanliness. We alternate---I do them one week, then DH does them the next

    --clean the bathroom- toilets? Once a week or so---I keep a brush next to each toilet for a quick swipe. Whole bathroom? Every couple of months

    --change sheets- Honestly, I have no idea. When they look gross or start to smell

    --clean windows- Once a year, except the ones the dog presses his nose up against. Those are once a month.

    I <3 you, just so you know. I can't go to the C&O board very often because I feel like I live in some kind of slum compared to all of them. You make me feel normal.

My goal is at least once a month, but I often forget. --clean windows Every six months or so.
