How do u clean ur house?

gotmilk said:
daily....that way nothing gets too dirty and it's quick to clean up....
That's kinda what I do but I'm thinking about having a seperate laundry/floor day.
 
its not clean to my standards ever. i cant keep up with 2 sloppy males in the house while Im working 10-12 hours a day and Saturdays too. I do the best I can and try to facilitate some cooperation from all the household members but it's still not sufficient in my eyes. I try not to obsess or be neurotic about it. Ive had to ease up on that and kind of accept a certain level of messy
 
vagabino cleans my house.
 
I have a laundry day where I do all of the laundry (Sundays).

The rest gets done daily......or nightly in my case.

Having a laundry day enabled me to do laundry for my husband. Before he had to do his own because I couldnt find the time..but I always felt kinda guilty about that so it works.

I vacumn the carpets once a week and clean the floors once a week and clean the bathrooms once a week. Change the sheets on laundry day....everything else I just kinda do as I see it.
 
when my housemate is away, i clean as i go and the house is ultra clean

when he's here, i clean about 3x more and its still a mess. when he gets back, i think im going to punch him in the mouf

Do u clean every single day? Do you do certain things of a set day of the week? Do u just wait until it's REALLY dirty and ur SO starts b*tching about it? What do u do?

Hey girl. I had to respond to this since it is my area of expertise. :rolleyes:

Check it out:

Laundry ~ The laundry train must never stop. If ONE day goes by without getting laundry done it gets outta control. Morning, noon and night I am chipping away at it. Steaming (heavy-duty commercail Jiffy one) is better than ironing. Quicker, easier on clothes than ironing. I'm a big fan.

Cleaning ~ Check out www.Flylady.com. What a great resource. You work out a schedule to do a "zone" a day. Remeber: clutter attracts clutter and always shine your sink (you'll get it after you read flylady.)

Misc ~ Every single day I wake up and get ready for the day. Even if I'm just staying home. I put on one of my casual cutie track suit and nikes, fix my hair, do makeup, ect. That way, if I have to run outta the house or the UPS man comes to my door I can at least look presentable :p If my DH comes home for lunch he can think I'm hot not a slob. I learned this from flylady too. This was life changing to me because I used to slum around all day and feel like crap. Now I get dolled up everyday and feel more productive. Sigh...I'm full of mind games to cope with my life, haha.

Ok...a little more than you asked for but I :heart: this topic.

Oh yeah, edited to add that I don't buy jack from that site. Only the free stuff and it's really helpful!

I wait until I am super stressed and procrastinating, then I clean everything.
I haven't been procrastinating much this semester.
I can't see my floor.
 
Ever seen Caddyshack?

I use the Carl method...

Leaf blower and a shop vac. The dogs usually take care of anything edible on the floor and If I take away their water bowls and leave the toilet seats up... Voila! sparkling bowls.
 
I usually do pretty much everything at least every other week. Dusting usually every week along with vacuuming and shaking carpets. Clean shower/sink/toilet when looking dirty. About once/twice a year I take the edging tool for the vacuum and go around the perimeter where the vacuum doesn't get to.
 
I use the dirt dog robot thing for my floors, it's amazing. I go around the edges with a little shop vac everything now and then.

The other shit I procrastinate on for a few weeks at a time.

Sunday is my cleaning day but I always do basic cleanup of the kitchen after every meal.
 
i wouldnt trust someone else to clean my house. id be too afraid things would start to grow legs. i dont trust anyone in my house, especially someone going through my stuff.

Oh my gosh! That is hilarious! I do all of the things I do for my own sanity and the rest of the family benefits. I'm so glad I'm not living in the 50's though. Although, I know I sound old fashioned.

I cook, clean and look cute but that's about it. I'm still the boss, applesauce.

BTW-I spent about 2 hours on that site u told me about, lol. Saved it to my favorites.

LOL! Totally! There is a fine :artist: art to making your man think he is in charge when you really run the show. Kidding...kind of. It's pretty much a team effort here too and we're all pretty happy in our "roles".

Yeah right. We have EF for that.

cleaning house while whitening your teeth between laundry loads is more like it. :qt:
check out prowhiteteeth.com for all of your whitening needs. I order there all of the time....
 
Dermacrine Sustain doubles as a stain remover for those that didn't know.
