how often do you do certain chores?

[Murk]

We clean the house on a rotating room-by-room schedule. Monday is kitchen, Tuesday is bathrooms, Wednesday is living room, etc. We have Sunday or Saturday off, depending what we are doing.

Laundry is done at least 2 times per week around here. Of course things like wiping off counters, cleaning up messes is done every day no matter what room is scheduled. The lawn gets mowed when the grass gets too tall. That depends on weather, etc.

Laundry: as needed, usually two to three times a week
Sheets: once a week
Bathrooms: deep cleaned once a week, wiped down daily
Furniture dusted: once a week
Carpets swept: once a week
Carpets shampooed: once a year
Kitchen floor: washed when needed, swept daily
Kitchen cleaned: after every meal
Lawn mowed: once a week during growing season
Ceiling fan: every couple of months
Furnace filter: monthly

I tend to do the same things every day and some weekly or monthly..

Brush floors, hoover and mop twice a day usually.. small house..so not a big deal..

some days use my steamer for the floors and large rug..

clean toilet every day.wash the bath twice after both of us as he doesnt believe in cleaning it.. mmmm

dust every day. never polish, dont use anything like that in the house..

windows.. once a week unless raining

fridge.once a week or fortnightly.

change bed , once a week but change sheets twice.

tiles in kitchen a rub down every other day round the cooker area but the rest gets done every few months.or if Im feeling energetic..

cooker every day but oven once a fortnight , I use those carbon sheets so doesnt get too messy.

Try to stay on top of wardrobes and cuboards but the hall cupboard gets messy with toys..

yesterday i did small odd jobs like cleaning out the bathroom cabinet and painted inside as it had some small stains..

Moved the bed and cleaned under it..

Washing every day or every two days..but thats no housework. thats done for you with a button..then hang it out if not raining, but usually on a dryer in the house and the tumble..


Ill let you into a secret.. before I got my first computer 12 years ago my home was gleaming.. now its clean but not the same.... Im far too much tied to this thing.... as it broke a couple of years ago and I was in a diffrent mode... got up inthe morning and instead of turning this on I turned on the kettle and got the kitchen done right away.. no dilly dallying around.. then had my tea and got tore in.. to the rest of the house.. then tidied outside a bit every day...it made a new woman of me...then when that was all done by about eleven Id have my bath and go a long walk to the bigger shops.. so I got exercise and air.. now ive an ar--e you could sit a tea tray on...... are any of you the same hahahaha.
I decorate about every two or three years.
Clean the decking with jet hose once a year then put decking stain on ..

I do chores when they need doing. No need to stress out trying to keep up with an arbitrary schedule.

Chores like scooping the cat boxes, washing dishes, tidying the bath and bedroom are done daily, but that is when they need doing.

Well, I'll tell you what I don't do often enough, apparently... Today, I was looking under the sofa for something that dropped, and I couldn't believe the dust under there. I blame it on the pollen and the doors being open, but jeeze, it's embarrassing.

Wow I'm a total slob compared to the posters here. We do chores as needed. We vacuum when furball tumbleweeds start showing up, about once a week maybe every other week. Haven't washed the floors or shampooed the carpets yet (moved in last summer). Bathrooms? Scrub the shower when it starts getting gross, every 4-6 weeks probably. Toilets a bit more often. Kitchen? We wipe down the counters if we make a mess. Deep clean once a month maybe. We don't make many messes and keep the sink free of dishes.

I mow the lawn most weekends during the summer. If we even have grass. We're still trying to get a hang of the whole yard work thing, there's a bunch of trees and plants we have no idea how to contain.

Our house isn't exactly spotless but it's clean enough for me. I do about 90% of the chores/housework.
