I would like to clean everything onec a week, but just don't have the time. With all the yard work I do, I am doing good to keep the dishes washed, cook 3 times a day and stay up with the laundry. Anything right now is a bonus. Rain is the time I can catch up on the vacuuming and floor mopping. Dusting is on the back burner for now.

Not often enough. Its super hard when you work full time and have 2 young children. Try to do something at least once a week though.

I clean every day; however, I just spot clean.  Sometimes I wait a while to do deep cleaning but I always feel great when it's done.  I have a book called Haleys Cleaning Hints and that book makes cleaning, easy.

I also believe that it's important to get rid of things I don't need and make sure I'm organized because that also makes it easier to clean.

EVERYDAY! There are always dishes, sweeping and dusting to do. Mopping can usually wait until the weekend. Toilets and bathrooms need scrubbed as well as counters and mirrors. If you don't clean and do laundry regularly, odors can accumulate. Who wants a stinky house?

I try to clean everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. It used to really bother me when it was a mess. Here the past few weeks though I have been kind of getting lazy on my housework. I have to quit slacking and get back into my routine!

I clean my house daily or once a week when I have time to do so. If I don't have time through the week then I will do it on the weekend. I always keep a clean house.

i do clean my house twice a week, dusting, facum, and wiping. Dishes not always. I have 4 childrens age
6-10 and they all very well behave. Once they fishing eating, each know what to do with their plates bowls,spoon
cup and fork and they are very like it when they know they have some responsibilities. They always clean up after
they ate on the table just like the way they always did at school. I would like to help those who want me to come

I DO NOT like cleaning.  In fact, I used to suffer from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome).  I must admit that my hubby is a much better cleaner than I am.  However, with that being said, I "try" to follow Fly Ladies rules and Shine My Sink every night, Swish and Swipe daily, make my bed, and drink plenty of water.  Always remember, a load a day keeps Mt. Rushmore away.  Check her out on the internet, search for FlyLady!

I would like to be able to clean more often. But i have a husband who is slighltly sloppy and does not care if the house work gets done. He just does not care and so i put off soneties until i can't stand it and then push him to hlep. Oh well his moms nickname for him is pigpen. Yep it fits. And then on top of all that i have to go clean on my dads house too. It has been awful what with all the dusty storms we have had. Everbody just assum i will get things done and i am running on fumes at times.

On the weekends I usually get more of the cleaning done. Some weeks I do more or less cleaning. Throughout the week I might do a little choirs here and there as time permits. Although certain things like dusting or scrubbing out the tub that are much rarer occurrences.

Heh, that's really cute!  ;D I personally don't need to do a load every day in just a two person household, but I do still have to do laundry two to four times per week!

I try to keep my house very clean - especially kitchen and bathrooms. 
Our problem is keeping the house uncluttered.  We are both so busy with a lot of different things.
My husband teaches so student papers/tests can quickly pile up on whatever surface is available.  :BangHead: And I work with a variety of media so I'm forever carting out bins of paints, fabrics, etc etc.  So at least every couple of days I say It's time to clear the decks and my husband knows that if he has hopes of finding something he'd better not wait for me to move his stuff  ;D ;D ;D

Keeping the litter under control daily makes a bi-weekly cleaning enough.  It does depend on how many are in the family and their ages.  Households with small children need cleaning more often than the retired 2-household family.

One thing I know for certain is that my sink, and dishes, and stove/oven needs to be spotless everyday. My house on the other hand is a totally different matter. since school is in recession right now so it helps that the kids are home the rest of the day, so they do cleaning but not as thorough as I would like it to be. But usually on the weekends, we do a lot of deep cleaning.

I normally do spot cleaning doing the week and a thorough cleaning on the weekend. This gives me the opportunity to take my time and get into those areas I don't get a chance to clean doing the week.  ;)

I try to keep the house clean, by picking up and putting away things, and also washing the dishes.  I hate dirty dishes in the sink.

There aren't any kids in the home so its not as messy as when my niece and nephew were living with us.
Hard to clean with them little critters around.  :P
The only time clean is when they're sleeping!

I have a routine that I keep in my cleaning. Certain things are done on certain days, that way it doesn't get away from me.

Pretty much the same. Clean floors, carpets, furniture, bathrooms once a week and clean up behind the pets on a daily basis.

I try to clean as much as possible everyday. There is always dishes and laundry to do with 4 of us in the house. More gets done on my days off though.

There is always something to do everyday but a thorough cleaning is done on the weekend so everybody will have to put in a helping hand. There is 4 adults and a 3 yr old in the house even the 3 yr old pitches in.

I wish I could clean my house every day, it was the way I was raised.  But, it is so hard when you have a full time job and a retired husband that likes to go out every single minute you are not working or sleeping!  I seem to prefer sleeping when I have time instead of cleaning my house.  Maybe I need to get a cleaning service??? :dontknow:

Not nearly as often as it should be. It's not exactly an easy task for me to do, so I don't get to it very often. And no one else ever bothers to lift a finger to clean anything so it gets that much harder for me when I do finally get around to it.  :BangHead:

I try to make sure the kitchen is clean every night before I get ready to bed.  I used to let them sit overnight but then figured out they were much harder to clean the next day.  Now the rest of the house, that's a different story;  I basically clean it when I can't stand it anymore.  That's not to say I let it get nasty but there is just me and my husband and although he dirties the kitchen and den, he doesn't do too much damage to the rest of the house.  I clean the bathrooms pretty regular but the rest, like I said, is just when I feel I need to pretty bad.  lol
