How many times a week do you...

[SharpMomOfTwo]

From another thread on here, I just found that I don't do a much laundry as others, and I was just wondering how often everyone does other things, like...

Run the dishwasher: I do it at least every other day!
Wash clothes: Once a week - got a load in now!
Vaccum: About once a month (I only have one area rug, and it stays pretty clean)
Sweep: A couple times a week
Change the bedding: Gona start doing it more often!!!
Clean the bathroom really well: Once a month...


I can't really think of anything else, but then again, I'm not much of a housekeeper!
Don't forget to include the number and ages of the people living in your house - that makes a huge difference!!!

There's just two adults (I'm 23 and my fiance is 27), but we seem able to produce fairly large messes.

Run the dishwasher: Whenever it's full. Usually every other day, but sometimes after cooking a large dinner or having guests over I'll run it after each meal.

Wash clothes: I try to do a load a day so the laundery doesn't build up, but we get by okay running the washer once a week if need be.

Vaccum: I borrow my moms vaccum once a month or so for the area rug. Our apartment is all hardwood floors, so we don't need to vaccumm that often.

Sweep: Not often enough. Whenever it starts to look like it needs to be swept. Maybe once every week or two.

Change the bedding: About once a week.

Clean the bathroom really well: About once a week. I'm not neat by any means, but a dirty bathroom bothers me lol.

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

so now, I feel like a freak....

Dishwasher: Everyday
Washclothes : one, sometimes two loads a day
Vac: Everyday downstairs - once a week upstairs
Sweep : Everyday
Clean the bathroom: This is two parts...wipe the counter and toilets everyday ...but good cleaning...once a week.

Bedding: once a week


Keep in mind that we are a family of five with a disabled parent that lives with us...I am always cleaning something!

 

[Kim1964]

We are 2 adults and 2 kids (6 and 12).

Laundry: Twice a week (Sunday 4 loads and Wednesday 3 or 4 loads)
Dishwasher: Every day, because it's full every day
Sweep, Vacuum, Bathroom Cleaning: Once a week
Change bedding: Every other week

 

[Eeyoreloverforever]

although I don't think my house is spotless. And I have seen houses that are cleaner than mine.

Laundry: usually 2-4 loads a day with one or two days off a week.

Dishwasher: once a day, sometimes twice.

Vacuum and sweep: I don't usually sweep. The main floor gets vacuumed 2-3 times a week. The stairs and upstairs once a week.

Bathroom: Gets cleaned every 2nd day or so.

We are a family of 4. Dh(36), me(35), dd(10), and dd(4).

I am definitely not a neat freak~ We are a family of 4. (Kids ages 7 and 4)

Laundry- 1-2 loads a day. I can't stand having dirty laundry just sitting around, plus we use a fresh towel after every bath or shower.

Dishwasher- after every time I cook a meal at home, maybe every other day.

Vacuum/sweep We have a Roomba so we do the living room every day or every other day. The other rooms get about once a week.

Mop- We have a Scooba so they get that once a week or every other week. I actually have to get the mop out to get in the tight corners.

Clean bathrooms- wipe surfaces, counters etc...1-2 times a week, really clean every other week.

For 3 of us (2 adults and a 1 year old)
Dishwasher - maybe once a week. Normally I just wash them. If we've had people over or something, then I'll use it.
Laundry - daily. I use cloth diapers, so the laundry adds up a bit faster
Vacuum - once a month. We only have 1 room with a rug
Sweep - every other day. The great shedding beast (aka the dog) makes that a must-do
Change the bedding - when it occurs to me. The crib - every week, unless he was soaked
Bathrooms - weekly. I'm kind of paranoid about it.

 

[dani blaski]

Run the dishwasher: I am the dishwasher! So several times a day on weekends, and about three times a day during the work week.
Wash clothes: Once a week, sometimes twice. We are in an older condo building, so we have to use the laundry room 9 floors down. And I always need to get quarters!
Vaccum: Never enough! We have wall to wall carpeting except for kitchen & bathrrom, of course. I could easily vacuum daily, but only get to do it every week.
Sweep: A couple times a week
Change the bedding: weekly for our bed & crib, unless there is an accident.
Clean the bathroom really well: wipe down surfaces & sweep, every few days. Deep clean every week & half.

Boy I really feel like a slob!

 

[ExPirateShopGirl]

Dishwasher: Every other day or once a day, depending on who's in residence
Laundry: At least one load a day for me. Kids do their own.
Vacuum: Once a week. Tile is also steamed once a week.
Bathrooms: Once a week. Habit from growing up.
Bedding: Once a week for beds slept in nightly. Washer has an ultra high temp sanitary cycle that runs about 2 hours and 1 minutes so I run them at night.

 

[nessz79]

I am not the neatest person in the world, so:

Laundry: 1-2 loads a day with a couple days off per week.
Dishwasher: about every other day, sometimes more if we have guests, etc.
Vacuum: About once a week...it's been known to go longer *sigh*
Sweep: Rarely. We just put our vacuum on the hard floor setting and use hoses for the tight areas.
Bathrooms: deep cleaning: our bathroom once every couple weeks. the kids'- every few days to every other week, depending on how messy it gets.
Bedding: about every 2 weeks.

During the summer we do these things more often, except laundry, since we're both teachers and have more time. During the school year the above times go.

2 adults and 2 boys, ages 5 and 3.5

[mamaLori05]

We are a family of 4. me (28), DH (28), DD (3), DS (9mo)

Dishwasher: 1-2 times per day (darn sippy cups)
Vacuuming: Once a day to every other day. (DS is crawling around and putting everything in mouth, so vacuuming is a must)
Bathrooms: 1-2 times per week (again if I know someone is coming over)
Kitchen counters: 3-4 times per day
dusting: When I start to notice it, maybe every other week.
Laundry: couple times per week, never consistant, just when we remember. Although I will admit to having to rewash loads two or three times over again because I put it in in the morning, forget about it, and find it at the end of the day. It just doesn't smell fresh if I just throw it in the dryer, so I rewash it before throwing it in the dryer.
Picking up toys: AN ENDLESS JOB!!!!! AHHHH!

Oh, and trust me, I'm not a neat freak. I usually try to clean up a bit in the morning, but by the time my husband gets home, he wonders what I did all day. I swear my 9mo old is a crawling tornado!!

 

[catgirl]

Just hubby & me, shedding chocolate lab & cat that never leaves the back of the recliner.

Wash dishes by hand - every day, on weekends usally twice a day
laundry - once a week
clean bathroom - once a week (need to do more often)
dust - once a week
vacuum - at least once a week (need to do about every 2 days- doesn't happen)
sweep - don't (use vacuum on all surfaces)
mop - a minimum of every 2 weeks - sometimes can't wait that long

Besides dishes & laundry I should be doing all others more often than I do, just can't seem to motivate myself, unless I'm having company (which isn't often)

YIKES- you use a fresh towel every day? Can I ask why?

 

[DevilDuckie]

Run the dishwasher: Daily
Wash clothes: A couple times a week, several loads at a time.
Vaccum: A couple times a week. I hate carpet.
Sweep: The bunny has free run of the bathroom at all times so that's a daily sweeping area.
Change the bedding: Weekly
Clean the bathroom really well: Once a month. We do mop and sweep in there a lot and the toilet gets scrubbed weekly but the top to bottom cleaning is about once a month.

 

[luvmy3]

Run the dishwasher: every day

Wash clothes: every day so it doesn't build up

Vaccum: twice a week (my ds has asthma otherwise it would be only once)

Run the dishwasher: Once a week
Wash clothes: One load every other day or so
Vacuum: Twice a month (yeah should do it more often)

[Rylee]

Me, DH, 2 "teen" girls, 2 little boys,

(plus, another daughter out on her own, who stops by with her laundry now and then ) and
a 100lb. Labradoodle "puppy" who sheds, leaving "tumbleweeds" blowing around on the floors.


Laundry ... A husband with office clothes and band clothes , teen girls , 3 children playing sports and towels X 6 per day... YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!

Dishwasher... Summer - At least every other day, Winter (we're home more and eat better ) - sometimes everyday.

Vacuum... Downstairs, at least, every other day. Upstairs, weekly, or so.

Sweep... Daily, except on "pool days" after freshly mowed lawn... about 6 TIMES a day!

Mop... as needed, and I hate to mop, as someone always spills something right afterwards!

Dust... areas you can see... 3 times a week, areas you can't see... umm... about 1 every 2 weeks.

Bathrooms... deep clean, at least, weekly, touch-up... daily.



I have a helping husband and the girls help out, a lot. My husband and I share the cooking and cleaning up the kitchen... when he cooks, I clean up - if I cook, he cleans up. (I make BIG meals' cause I know he'll have to clean it up. )

 

[tink2]

Ok- I like this thread- it is interesting!!!
It is me, dh, dd9 and ds7. Dh is ocd- me not so much, but I do like a clean house.

Dishwasher- never been used, ocd dh likes to wash the dishes as we use them. This started when we were first married and still continues- habit. Not a big deal if we keep up with it well.
Wash clothes- at least 1 load a day- usually 2 loads, again, not a big deal as long as we keep up with it
Sweep- kitchen- every other day; wood floors and bathroom- at least weekly if not more
Vaccuum- usually every other week for carpet- sometimes weekly, wood floors- every other day
Bathrooms- deep clean every other week, daily wiping and cleaning
Bedding- when I think of it- plan to do it more often!
We keep a pretty clean house. Baseball season really threw a wrench in the cleaning of the house- but it is over now and things are back to normal. We all clean our 'messes' throughout the week so that really helps! We used to have an extremely- almost uncomfortable- clean and straight house (remember, ocd dh!), but now it is clean, but comfortable and that is ok with us! We've learned to stop cleaning all the time and enjoy our family (and ocd dh didn't even have to have meds for that one! )

 

[Rylee]

I want to add this story...

I have a friend who was always bragging about how clean her house is... "I clorox down the bathroom. I vacuum daily. The socks we wore yesterday, are clean, today." Blah, blah, blah.

We were all pretty sick of listening to it... for one thing, it gets boring after awhile, plus... who cares!

Anyway, one day after listening to her, again, another friend said...

"Wow, your family is either, very clean, or... very dirty, I just can't figure out which!"
