I try to clean at least once a week or so. Mainly when my mom isn't home because the dust and stuff bothers her allergies.

Haha, you reminded me of something. When my boyfriend & I first moved in together, I told him that I was allergic to dust so he would dust everything for me 2 times a week. About a year later, my mom called. He answered & when she asked what he was doing he told her that he was Dusting. Of course she asked how I got him to do that & he told her that he done it because I was allergic to the dust. She said "No she's not. She just dont like to do it." Needless to say, he started makeing me do the dusting my self. Thanks for your response. + for you.

I try my best to do one room per day but it doesn't always work that way. It also depends on if I have to go out or if my kids need me for other things

Sadly in my house it is every single day, we have cats, four of them and you can imagine the hairs everywhere, we have two which are long hair, so it's like children shedding their clothes all around the house! Speaking of children I also have a housemate who does the same LOL as soon as I've finished cleaning I feel that it's just a matter of time before it needs to be done again aaaaaaaahhhhhh, housework is never done and it is such a thankless ongoing never ending task!

Cleaning every day because there is always something that needs washing alas, But with sweeping and dusting that is done whenever it is needed or when I can no longer ignore it. :)

Me too. I try to vaccum 1-2 times a day & sweep. I mop about 1 time a week. Dusting is just done when I get time to do it. Usally once a month.

LOL. Pretty much everyday. Well, I try to vacuum and dust each room once a week, and I detail clean each room once a month. I do dishes and clean the bathroom everyday. I started using the flylady.net method of cleaning, and I really like it. It's really helped me get my house in order and always looking nice and tidy.

I try to keep up with things everyday. Vacuuming is not frequent, just because my vacuum doesn't work well. And I'm not big on dusting yet, so that's only when it gets to be enough to see clearly! I sweep everyday, sometimes more than once. We have lots of tile and it's the easiest thing to keep clean. Dishes and laundry are done daily.

Dishes are my big problem. I have a habit of lettin them pile up here lately. I dust with a dryer sheet. I heard that they work well because instead of just moveing the dust around, the catch it so i gave it a try & it worked out great. Now thats the only thing I dust with.

OMG...you people are making me feel like a lazy slug! LOL I clean only when I really have to..I do vacuum every other day or so, I have 3 dogs, so no choice on that one.. and do my dishes at least once a day..take out the trash and sweep the kitchen floor..but beyond that ummmm.. well..you dont wanna see my house LOL I'm just too busy and life is too short to spend all your time cleaning..who cares if your house looks perfect..I'd rather spend my time doing things I enjoy and being with my family and friends. Although.. I do love a clean house, I just dont want to be the one who has to do it. I think I need a maid! LOL

LOL! At least you are bein honest. Here lately, I dont clean nearly enough. I agree life is to short to spend worryin about small things like cleanin. My aunt always said "I'd rather have a dirty house full of friends that fell comfortable then a clean house with no friends because they are afraid they'll mess it up" I wish I could give you best response but since I done give it away, I'll just have to give ya a +

Wow! That is a great question....Well I vaccumm at least 2 times a day, have to re-clean the kitchen at least 3 times a day, sweep 2 times a day, with kids and their friends it just never ends...I try to make sure that I also do what I can right before bed, so that I don't have as much to do in the morning...I don't mind the cleaning everyday, it is the "always pickin up" part that gets to me...

Not as often as I should! I probably vaccuum about 3 times a week. Sweeping the flooring is about the same. Not very often on the dusting. I always try to keep the dishes and laundry caught up though.
