how often do you clean toilets & floors?

My husband informed me today that I get overworked about cleaning and that it wasn't necessary for me to mop my floors and scrub my toilets every week....

*face smack*

I prefer to do these things AT LEAST once if not twice a week.... what about you?

Re: how often do you clean toilets & floors?

  • I normally do them once a week, but i dont freak out if I miss because I was busy that weekend.  Especially now that I'm working a second job on Saturdays, I'm going to have to do what I can.
  • I vacuum at least once (preferably twice a week) and mop the floors once a week. I also clean the toilets once a week. I would do it more often if I had the time.

    HH gets on me for washing the sheets every week. I think its so gross to not wash them every week! I think guys just dont care about that kind of stuff. I would be stressing out over not cleaning than to just do it at least once a week and be happy.

  • Definitely once a week on the toilets.  Mopping the floors, I'm a bit of a slacker.... I spot clean when necessary... vacuum regularly due to pet hair.  I use a swiffer (with the wet cloths) when it comes to actual cleaning.

    At least once a week on the sheets, here too!!!  I watched a thing on Discovery Channel about "Nature's Nightmares" and they were talking about all the disgusting grossness that can be on your sheets... bugs and what I think they called "body sludge"..... EEEEEWWWWW!!!!!!

  • I don't do floors. Matt does. I think he does them about once every week or two-- basically, whenever it gets to bugging him.

    I do the toilets, and I'd say they usually get done maybe once a week. I determine my cleaning schedule by visual inspection rather than a calendar. Basically, they get cleaned whenever I can tell that they need it. 

  • Floors are once a week. Toilets are min of once a week depending on if needed more or not!

    OH Boy men are crazy sometimes with the things they say!

  • WOW you ladies are making me feel like a dirty slob! Hahaha. I scrub my toilets if someone is coming over and they are getting scuzzy. I just swiffered my hard floors this weekend for the first time in a loooong time. I do vacuum probably at least once a week cuz of the dog. Maybe I should start washing my sheets more often too... hahaha. I've never done it that often.

  • I don't go longer than 2 weeks when it comes to changing the sheets, I like to do it every week though. As far as floors and toilets, once a week. Our hard wood floors get dirty very easily with us going in and out constantly, especially with the dog. I usually mop, but this week I just used my Swiffer wet jet.

  • I clean the floors and toilets atleast once a week. Sheets I would like to clean more but I hate making the bed but I wash the sheets every 2 weeks.

  • Do you really want the resident clean freak chiming in on this? Toilets get a swish every day. Our kitchen floor gets swiffered every day, mopped once a week. We vacuum once or twice a week at least. Sheets are washed and changed every Sunday.

  • I vacuum several times a week (lots of animals) and spot clean the floors as necessary.  I mop every couple of weeks.  I try to clean the toilet every week because men are just nasty (really is it that hard to aim).  Sheets get changed weekly.  DH told me that when he was in college he didn't change his sheets for almost a year.  GAG!!!  If it wasn't for me our house would be condemned.

    Thank you for saying this Hayley, because I was really starting to feel like the only slob here.  Pretty much what she said.

    Oh, my. You girls obviously haven't been reading my comments on the other cleaning threads! If jehawley is the resident cleaning goddess, I am the opposite end of the spectrum. Toilets just happen to be the one thing that actually bugs me.

  • I try to do toilets every week.  Sometimes it's 2 weeks if I'm busy. :/ I vacuum once a week but my bathroom (where I dry my hair daily) needs to be vacuumed more often.  I just deal with it until the weekend.  I hardly ever mop.  We have "unsealed" hardwood floors & DH won't let me do a wet swiffer on them or use any kind of hardwood floor cleaner because he says it will seep into the cracks??? I've literally never cleaned the hardwood floors except for vacuuming.  How gross.

    Well I definitely feel like a freak! I have major anxiety and can't sleep at night if the place isn't clean. It's not healthy. I'll probably be a psycho mom. I actually have no idea where this stems from...my mom is clean but even she is not as anal as I am. I really think it's because of what a slob my oldest sister is, and how disgusted it makes me.

  • I don't do floors.  I refuse.  But Dan does them every other week and I do toilets every other week.
