Deep cleaning? About 1-2 times per month. Of course, with 4 guys in the house, there’s something to wipe down, fold, sweep, or mop nearly daily.

We clean the house once a week, usually on Saturdays. I dislike it greatly. lol

You’re not alone. 😏

I pay a cleaning agency, who provide a lady, who cleans, launders and irons once a week. For the remainder of the week I wash dishes, clean the bath etc but my cleaner does most of my cleaning.

We are considering hiring a lady as well. I think it would be a great investment to free up time to do other things.
Loading...
The whole thing, all at the same time? What a horrible thought. So, it’s a bit here and a bit there as inspiration or inescapable necessity demand.
Loading...
We usually just knock it out all at once. It takes a couple hours and it’s done.

Hmmmm how do I answer this without sounding chauvinistic? OK there are pink jobs and blue jobs in our household (not my idea) Cleaning is a pink job – the reasons – now this is taken on good sound advice from an expert (that’d be the Princess) Apparently I am totally useless at cleaning, ironing, washing and making a bed, as such I’m not allowed 😂 But it is done once a week and in my defence when we had a cleaner she cleaned the house before the cleaner arrived. 😂

Weird😂
Loading...
What are the blue jobs?
Loading...
Putting the bin out 😜
Loading...
1 job. lol
Loading...
😂

Never. With blood, sweat, tears and more than a little guilt tripping, I convinced the hubby to get a weekly cleaner.
Loading...
Good for you!! I think the weekly cleaner is a solid investment.
Loading...
I deep clean the whole house weekly (keep in mind it’s a 1000 square foot apartment, not a mansion) and I clean the bathroom and kitchen daily along with general clean up.
Loading...
You clean the bathroom every day?
Loading...
I don’t deep clean it but yes, I wipe down the counter and sink and give the toilet a quick once over. 🙂
Loading...
Good for you.
Loading...
I clean 2-3 times a week but different things. One day I will vaacum, clean the bathrooms, do laundry, etc.
Loading...
Me too.
Loading...
I think it’s the best way instead of all at one time.
Loading...
We clean all at once. I like the feeling of having a perfectly clean home.
Loading...
My boyfriend doesn’t clean at all but he’s good at making a mess. Lol.
Loading...
That is not very equitable. lol
Loading...
Lol. He helps every once in awhile. He works a lot so I don’t say anything.
Loading...
It stays clean because I live alone…
Loading...
There are advantages about being single. 🙂
Loading...
And this is one of them 🤣

Fun question, I stopped in out of curiosity as to what answers you might get. I suppose the answer would really depend on what the question really is. Since I’m an over thinker my thoughts go rambling away. Do you mean the actual house? Like roof, gutters, bricks etc? The inside of the home? The carpets? We (everyone living here) cleans our home on an “as we go” basis. The idea being, if everyone cleans up after themselves and maintains their areas of use, then the home will never be dirty. In other words, clean the clean and there won’t be no dirt. Bwah haha we get mixed results depending on who lives here. Then we get into “definitions of clean” etc. I have a “homes are for free expression not good impressions” attitude, so my version of clean might drive a neat freak nutz.

I’m referring more to inside the home. And my wife would go nuts with the “free expression” idea. lol She is a clean freak. 🙂
Loading...
LOL that’s ok, I get it, I used to be like that a one point in my life. I actually ironed sheets and washed curtains daily etc. I’ve let go of a lot of my OCD cleaning tendencies over the years. Now I’m satisfied with clean. My need for spotless, meticulously organized, etc lost it’s priority long ago, and it was actually a huge relief to let it go.
Loading...
I imagine that type of detail would wear you down over time.
Loading...
I asked myself what was really important and started focusing on that, haha the rest just kinda fell into place.

🦋 Confession here…rarely.
We have a cleaner. We hired her 5 years ago when my Dad moved in. She mostly looked after his room and the only bathroom we all shared but she was too good and reliable to let go especially with my painful back, surgeries tfollowed by rehab last year after Dad went into a nursing home. We’ve decided to keep her on, less often though, until there’s no more regular income….of we move north, whichever occurs first. 😉

We are kicking around the idea of bringing on the cleaning lady more often. It seems like it would free up time.
Loading...
It sure does.
Loading...
ummm, this one is a difficult question for me having just moved. In my last place a deep clean on at least one room would happen once a week. In my new place, I could probably do a deep clean on the entire place once, maybe twice a day
Loading...
Every day??? That would drive me batty. lol
Loading...
I haven’t done it. Yet. I am still sticking with my one room a week, but the place we are in, is so small, it is probably possible, as long as I don’t move any of the furniture
Loading...
I would stick with the week model. Every day seems like a lot.
Loading...
It is, also I can’t be arsed to move the furniture everyday
Loading...
I clean something every day. Make the bed, wash the dishes, sweep the floor. Clean the kitchen floor once a week, same with vacuuming the bedrooms. Clean the bathrooms. Dust.etc…
Loading...
I couldn’t clean every day. I’d lose my mind. lol
Loading...
I clean as life allows. Some days it’s sweeping downstairs because I have an extra 10 minutes before work. Sometimes it’s starting the laundry on the way out the door and drying it upon my return. I will say, pets make you a better housekeeper. How my dogs are bald is beyond me. I could stuff pillows with all they shed. They also like licking the floor, so I mop when I get 10 minutes to keep them off the floor. My house fell apart during chemo treatments. Partly because chemo is a b*tch. Other times, barely making it through work, til I could get home to my bed was all I could manage. Some days I can clean for hours other days, 15 minutes will have to do. Life goes on. The house doesn’t care.

Cleaning is a necessity, but it shouldn’t take priority over living life.
Loading...
I keep the house presentable. I am slight OCD., so it bugs me when it isn’t maintained. Also why we have 2 stories…downsrairs always cleaned, upstairs…gets done as time allows.
Loading...
I don’t. My mom does. All I have to clean is my table. But I like it with my books scattered. Its more comfy
Loading...
Do you ever offer to help with the house?
Loading...
I do sometimes. I generally help with cooking and ironing.
