cleaning your house - schedule?
Do you have a schedule for cleaning your house (ex - dust on Mon, bathrooms, Tues, etc)? Or do you have one day set aside to clean everything?
How often do you clean:
floors?
bathrooms?
dust?
change sheets?
I have got to get better at this.
Re: cleaning your house - schedule?
So my house was getting FILTHY and I needed to do something other than wait for it to get gross, flip out, deep clean, rinse and repeat. Here is what I came up with:

It has been working so far and now I notice that I don't even need to do as much work because it isn't super dirty. Good luck! Oh, and yes, DH does help out this way if we both know what needs to be done that day there is no question and it just gets checked off the list.
Most cleaning is done on either Friday nights or Saturday mornings. If we have a race on a Saturday morning, cleaning is the perfect excuse to stay home, get things done and go to bed early. The mr has it down to a science and does most of it in about 90 minutes or less: dusting all furniture in the house (3br, LR, DR), swiffering/vacuuming floors, cleaning the kitchen. He also cannot stand clutter, so even with two dogs, the house is fairly tidy. If we had a kid, I think he might have panic attacks.
The bathroom gets regular wipe downs as needed, but gets a pristine clean after the dogs are bathed.
We usually change the sheets on Monday. I put them in the wash before yoga, and they are done around the time we are cleaning up dinner.
Clothing laundry is put away by the person who owns the clothes. Towels---well, that's another story, I usually end up doing that, even though the mister knows full well where the towels go. I get lazy and forget to bring them up, as evidenced by the basket of clean towels sitting in the laundry area for more than a week.
Laundry is done on an as needed basis. It's just the two of us, so I usually do 3 loads a week (whites, lights, and darks). I have a 3-bag sorter, and I throw each bag in the wash once it's full. J does the sheets every other Sunday, and towels maybe once a month.
The bathroom is cleaned on an almost daily basis. I keep clorax wipes behind the sink to wipe down everything from the toilet to the floors. I keep shower cleaner spray in the shower, and I use that after I get showered each morning.
Everything gets a quick wipedown in the kitchen after we cook.
Saturdays, I spend maybe 2 hours max vacuuming, dusting, etc. the whole house.
This confirms my dirtball status. I am so freaking lazy.
Don't worry, I'm right there with you. And I hate to tell you it will only get worse after baby is here. :-)
Lando, this is my fear! I am hoping the nesting instinct kicks in before the kid is born so that I can get some serious cleaning done!
let me jump on your train too.
And here! The only way it gets clean is by paying someone to do it once a month
