How often do you...

Clean your toilets
bathroom counters
bathroom mirrors
inside of windows
kitchen sink

 I'm revamping my cleaning schedule and it's been a while since I've worked off of a written list.  So much of it seems like it needs to be done daily, but then I feel like I'd be cleaning the entire house every.single.day, and I have 3 kids, so it's not really realistic. 

For the past 6-9 months I've been pretty much just doing things as they need to be done, but I'd like to work off of a list again.

Re: How often do you...

  • I do the bathrooms once a week. I clean the toliet and counters down. and do the floors. Typically, I try to do the tub, but that's the worst- we have a completely tiled walls and it takes so long, so i do it every other week and then use a shower cleaner spray in between, During the week sometimes the counters get cluttered so on Wednesday I might clean them up and just wipe them down with an antibacterial wipe. I don't clean the sink as often as I should. I probably give it "good cleaning" once every few months, but I would ideally do it once a month, plus a good wipe down every now and then. The inside of the windows we do twice a year, spring and fall cleaning.
  • I typically do a "once over" for the bathroom maybe every 2-3 weeks? (wipe down tub and tile, clean toilet, wipe down vanity and sink)  I wash towels then too.

     I do a "deep clean" (clear everything off the vanity, wipe down the floor, mirror, plus all of the above) probably once every 2 months or so....or whenever it aggravates me to the point of wanting it spotless.

     ...there's only hubby and I though, so things don't get dirty quite as fast as with little ones!

    For you, i'd probably do a quick wipe down and toilet clean 1x per week, and maybe a deep clean once a month.

     I "deep clean" our bathrooms 1x a week.  This includes scrubbing the bath tub, toilet, sink, fixtures, floor, etc.  I change the hand towels and bath towels and wipe the counter top probably 2-3x a week in between "deep cleanings" depending on how often DH & I are home.

    I wipe down my kitchen sink constantly! It's the dirtiest place in the house! If I don't do it everyday, it's every other day then.

    Windows are here or there - sometimes I wipe them and the window sills down every week, mostly it's every other week.  We have 2 cats that like to sit on them, otherwise, I may even spread out cleanings more.

  • Twice a week for entire bathroom. Also if expecting company a quick wipe down. Kitchen sink is once a week with comet but I also wipe down after I do dishes every day. 

    As needed. Once a week for bottom windows since there are finger prints. Tops are about every 6 weeks or so.

  • We clean the bathrooms and kitchen sink once a week. The windows we usually do a couple times a year or as needed.
  • CLEAN TOILETS

     I clean the toilets every third day


    BATHROOM COUNTERS

    I clean the counters daily or as needed but usually daily


    BATHROOM MIRRORS

    I clean the mirrors every other day/third day when i clean toilets.


    INSIDE OF WINDOWS

     I clean insides of windows once a week


    KITCHEN SINK

    daily, multiple times daily such as after dishes, cooking etc..

  • i try and clean the toilet once a week

    the bathroom counters and mirrors: i keep a spray bottle of peroxide and water in the bathroom with a roll of paper towels. that way i can just do a quick spray and wipe when im done getting ready.

    inside windows hardly ever Sad

    and the kitchen sink  i keep a spray bottle of peroxide and water in the kitchen with a roll of paper towels so i can spray and wipe the sink and counters when im done with the dishes.
