How often do you clean your home?  email this discussion to a friend?

This past weekend, my parents came to visit and it was a flurry of activity before they arrived to clean up our messy house. It typically is like this whenever we expect guests- I usually wait to the last minute and then go crazy cleaning our place from top to bottom.

If we aren't expecting guests, I typically try to clean the house on a weekly basis- though sometimes I slack in these duties. There are certain things that cannot wait to be cleaned (cat box, etc), but sometimes I just let things like laundry pile up until they are almost to the point of no return.

Does anyone else procrastinate when it comes to cleaning? Or do you stick to a routine like I sometimes try to? It's very difficult for me to stay motivated on this subject so some words of encouragement would be appreciated.

I tidy up almost every day and do a big cleaning once a week or so and then 3 or 4 times a yr a do a massive intense cleaning which includes getting rid of stuff we dont use or clothes we dont wear anymore and I air out the house and smudge & cleanse etc etc..

I like to get things done so the house doesn't look to bad if someone drops by-which never happenns. But I do laundry almost every day, clean the bathrooms once a week and dust once a week. I vaccuum whenever the floor is dirty. I think it is easier to clean once a week instead of waiting until things get really messy.

unfortunatly i clean my house everyday yet it is always messy. i don't get it. i grew up with 2 sisters and a brother and i remember our house always being spotless. i only have 2 kids and i never get a break from cleaning. i wish i could procrastinate but like i said within 10 minutes after cleaning i need to start all over again. laundry sometimes gets piled up because i hate doing laundry but i try to do at least one load a day. i wish i had some words of encouragement for you but i don't even have them for myself. i guess you could just pretend you are having company come over since that seems to get you motivated.

If possible we have to clean our house everyday. In our haouse we clean once sometimes twice a day. It depends on the activity of each member of the family. The cleaner the house the better. Clean house is like staying in a palace even if you only have small house.

i still live with my parents, and have to do chores around the house. Our house is cleaned every day, and always has to look tidy. I vacuum, dust and mop everyday. The kitchen gets wiped all over everyday, and we are constantly doing the laundry, which piles up quick and gets ironed once or twice a week. But once it is all done, you have the rest of the day to enjoy it, and not have to see the mess or clutter everywhere. We all work together to get it done, and i don't mind doing it either. However it can sometimes be very monotanous.

Wel I give my house a complete, and thorough clean every Saturday - bathroom, toilet, kitchen etc, and all the vacuuming, and dusting, as well as changing the sheets on the bed, and all the washing, and ironing. Yes - Saturday is a very busy day - LOL! However, as I have 5 cats at home, I also vacuum the lounge, and clean the kitchen floor every night when I come home from work, as it gets too messy otherwise. I am not a great fan of housework (is anyone?), but I can't stand mess, and dirt either, so I really have no choice.

I see to it that I sweep the floor everyday. my kids has their own responsibilities in cleaning their own rooms. The laundry is the easiest because all of us knew how to operate the washing machine. I have a clean lady that comes twice a week and an iron lady who comes every week.
