Same here: quick, daily wipe downs and full cleaning once a week.

Once a year, I wax the floor with floor wax and use car paste wax on the shower wall tiles. Waxing helps prevent hard water stains.

Just use a regular sponge mop! I have a cleaning lady every other week, in the meantime I use a regular length mop, spray some Foaming Bubbles on it, then just slop mop and rinse. this only works if its not very dirty to begin with....

Ditto. If I know someone is coming over, I'll wipe the sink, counter and toilets down with a Clorox wipe. I don't worry about the shower/tub, although if I was having an overnight visitor and i couldn't time it right to have my housecleaner come, then I'd wipe down that too.

I do the toilet and sink daily, tub and floor weekly, wipe down the mirrors, cabinets and walls every couple of months.

Somebody scrubs the walls every week. Isn't that overkill?

Being single, I rake out my bathroom twice a year.

Just kidding - floor to ceiling scrubbing once a week.

Deep cleaning? Once a week. Touch ups, every day or so.

Perhaps to you but not to someone else and why question how someone else prefers to keep their home and when to clean it?

Our bathroom gets cleaned daily because it is used often, daily and we share our home with 2 cats and 1 dog.

Cool. How'd you teach them all to use the bathroom?
