Want to clean my house?
What day do you usually clean?
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week?
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter)
What do you clean your tile with?
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty?
Re: Want to clean my house?
What day do you usually clean? On the weekend, usually I do most on Sunday but sometimes I'll pick up a bit on Saturday. I try to pick up around the house daily to keep it from being overwhelming on the weekends.
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? H does the laundry, he does it usually on Sunday. Sometimes it takes a little longer depending on load size.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) Unless it's an obvious health hazard, no. We used to have some friends we would hang with and their house was nas-tay. I felt like I got lice going there. We are no longer friends. Most of the people whose houses we visit keep them fairly tidy.
What do you clean your tile with? 409 is what I have right now, but I'm not contractually bound to it or anything. Wipe with paper towels.
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? I don't even have to go do this because I cleaned the kitchen todayDo you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? I try to do all laundry on Mondays. I usually do 1 or 2 loads in the week--mainly towels or sheets.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) Honestly? Yes. I think it's disgusting to look over at their window sill and see five dead flies. I also get grossed out with sticky on the counter. But then again, I'm weird about my counter tops being clean.
What do you clean your tile with? I use my Hoover FloorMate with Mr. Clean's anti-bac Citrus and Light cleaner. Smells heavenly.
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? I HATE this test. Yes, it's always a little dingy. And it really bothers me. Right now it's VERY dingy, and I plan on fixing this problem tomorrow.
What day do you usually clean? Saturday or Sunday. DH and I clean together.
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? We each do our own clothes laundry, and that's just spread throughout the week. I do sheets and towels on weekends.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) I judge a floor that is obviously dirty, especially carpet needing to be vacuumed, and I judge sticky counters. Dust doesn't bother me.
What do you clean your tile with? Swiffer or water/vinegar mop
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? It's always dingy. Our duplex is two years old and I still can't get rid of the new construction dust. Ugh.Whoops, when I read "what do you clean your tile with?" I thought of my countertops, because they are tile.
For tile floors, I just have some Mr. Clean floor cleaner. Nothing fancy. I have such a tiny kitchen floor and tiny bathroom floors that it doesn't take much so it lasts a long time!
What day do you usually clean? Throughout the week.
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? I try to do it all in one day, depending on how much there is.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) Not at all... unless it's just shockingly dirty.
What do you clean your tile with? My steam mop.
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? No but I'm a little freaky about keeping my counters wiped off. If my counter tops are clean and my dishes are done then my whole house feels clean....even if it's not.What day do you usually clean? I usually give myself a to do list, which includes a few cleaning tasks to do each day.
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? I usually do my laundry one day and DS's another day. DD and DH usually do their own laundry.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) I don't have a super high standard of cleanliness, so not really. I try to keep my house picked up and fairly clean, but I don't stress too much about it, and I'm sure some people would judge my house. I do get a little bothered if someone knows they're having company and their floors are very dirty or there is food that has obviously been stuck there for a while on a counter, tabletop or chair.
What do you clean your tile with? Right now I'm using some cleaner someone gave me from Melaleuca - I think it's called Tough 'n Tender. I think once we remodel the kitchen I may get one of those steam mops.
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? I'm not actually motivated enough to do this, but honestly, probably. We still have nasty laminate flooring in our kitchen (the kind that's all one piece and comes on a roll) and it never seems to really be super clean, even if I've just mopped it (which I haven't super recently). I can't wait to get rid of this crap and have nice clean tile!What day do you usually clean? Everyday. Usually the weekends, but we keep it pretty clean.
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? On random days when needed.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) I notice things like that. I don't 'judge' them, but I certainly notice it.
What do you clean your tile with? Shark Steam Mop. Love it.
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? I just steam mopped. The pads were slightly dirty. We don't wear shoes in the house so the floor stays pretty clean.
What day do you usually clean? I pick up the house every night and clean the kitchen every day, but usually do my cleaning list Sunday so H can watch the littles. If I don't get done on Sunday I finish Monday during naptime.
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? I do a lot of laundry. Usually a load a day or 2 loads every other day during the week (so I have full loads). I usually have 3-4 on the weekend.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) I don't look for dirt or dust or anything, but if the floors are obviously dirty I take note (especially since I have a crawling baby)
What do you clean your tile with? Shark steam mop. I LOVE it!
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? Nope! I just mopped though
What day do you usually clean? No particular day, but mostly I would say Sunday.
Do you do all of your laundry in one day, or is it spread throughout the week? We spread it out, but the majority gets done on the weekend... again, usually Sunday.
Do you judge peoples' cleanliness when you go to their home? (Look for things on the floor like grass/dirt/dust, inspect tables for dust, scoff at their sticky kitchen counter) Only if it's like icky gross. I'm not a stickler for doing the white glove test or anything. That doesn't bother me.
What do you clean your tile with? Shark steam mop
CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? Right now, yes. Our kitchen is destroyed from painting a little bit at a time (me going out of town every weekend for the last few weeks will make painting go slow!). But we should finish it up in the next few days, and once touch ups are done, my kitchen is getting scrubbed. I want it back!my bookshelf!

CLEAN TEST: Wet a paper towel with a little water. Wipe one tile in your kitchen with it. Inspect towel. Is it nasty? Probably. I have a cat and dog, my tile always has something one it. I am cleaning it tonight or tomorrow for my open house.
