Quick clean up, wipe downs every day. Weekly thorough cleaning.

I'm not on a schedule. I clean them when they get dirty, which varies by season and who's home.

Every other week the cleaners do a thorough job of kitchen and bathrooms. In those spaces I clean as I use. If something gets spilled on the stove, I clean it up. I never think, oh, the cleaners will be here tomorrow, they can do it. If the sinks need to be scoured, I do it. The rest of the house can slide a bit, but kitchen and bathrooms need to be clean every day.

I'm the same as feathers, I clean when it needs to be cleaned. It's just the two of us and we mostly clean up after ourselves as we go. The tub gets a good weekly cleaning and same with the toilet. I'm kind of a constant cleaner. In fact, one time when I had to cook for my niece and nephew, they commented about how the kitchen was clean when I finished cooking and they were amazed...HAHA!

kitchen was clean when I finished cooking

Standard operating procedure. :)

Not really Bunny, I can remember that after we'd get through eating (when I was a kid) my Mom's kitchen looked like a tornado hit! I couldn't stand it so I think that's why I'm a clean as you go kinda gal.

Same as Bunny. Cleaners every other week and I clean up as necessary in both bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom counters, sinks and floors especially in the bathrooms and I use Lysol wipes on the toilet in between the cleanings. Every time I cook I clean the stove and countertops and give the sink a wipe down before I leave the kitchen.

Arkansas, I should have said it was my SOP.

We have to clean the kitchen after we eat because little girl kitty tries to get into food scraps, pans, and used napkins with food. I Swiffer the floor when it needs it or around once a month, like the other day when I tracked in deer poop all over the kitchen!

Bathrooms get cleaned every week.

Housekeeper cleans the kitchen Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. I know she does the bathrooms once a week. I think Friday is bathroom cleaning day but I can't really remember for sure.

The house is usually pretty clean and I don't clean at all in between. My husband will wipe up things. I wipe things up if I spill on the floor or counter or something, but I do not wipe up the stove when it gets dirty during cooking. We have grates that would have to be lifted out on the stove b/c it is gas and wiping it up seems like more hassle than I want to deal with.

And I want nothing to do w/ any aspect of cleaning the sink. The very idea of it grosses me out beyond belief. I am very squeamish about stuff like that, which is odd b/c I'm OK w/ cleaning up dog messes-- it is just the sink I cannot handle (and, of course, the bathrooms I want nothing to do with cleaning, that grosses me out beyond belief too). I am weird, germ-phobic about odd things but not others.

I'm a neat nick so I clean every day when I see any soiled areas. I'm also very organized so I keep things pretty and easy to find. My husband is the opposite so I clean for him too. I love being in rooms that are lovely, it makes me happy. On the other hand, it doesn't bother me at all if anyone else isn't like me, we all are different in our styles. I think I'm hard-driven this way.

No schedule here either. As I said, it's just the two of us, so not too hard to keep things picked up/clean. Picking up is half the battle! My husband does help but he does most of the outside stuff too. I'm sorry but Beagles, you are cracking me up! I think things may change for you when that little one comes. LOL I think bathrooms/kitchens are the germy-est rooms so that's why I clean them more. I take more baths than showers and don't like getting in to dirty tub. I'm a clean as I go cook too.

I keep things wiped down every day, including the toilet seat, but I only clean the toilet bowl and floors weekly. We don't have children or pets living with us, so we don't make a lot of mess. The one area I'm guilty of avoiding is the kitchen sink. I rinse it out with every use, but I don't polish the water spots off all that often. When I do, it lasts about 10 minutes, so I don't feel like taking the time to do it very often. My mother's kitchen sink gets dried off and polished after every meal, but I don't care that much.

DH & I share cooking but he loads, runs, and unloads the DW. He doesn't clean counter tops, I guess since granite hides pepper flakes they look clean to him. So I wash the counters between stove and sink daily and dust the other counters daily since we get a lot of dust. I clean the kitchen sink as needed.

I love sweeping the kitchen floor, but if I have the vacuum out I'll go over it. Once a month I use the Hoover floor cleaner machine thingy, and in between I use Swiffer wet mop.

We have our own bathrooms and mine's mostly clean all the time. His bathroom gets a thorough cleaning once week, more if necessary.

The fastest way to clean around the toilet is after sweeping the area, I get on my hands and knees and take a wet swiffer cloth and wash the whole area & the outside of the toilet. Thank goodness for swiffers and those toilet wands with disposable pads. My hands stay clean. :)

Clorox wipes and a Swiffer wet mop makes cleaning a bit easier.

It's just the 2 of us as well.... the Master bathroom gets cleaned 2x's a week.... or as needed. I don't have "specific" days.

The kitchen is a "clean as you go" space. The counters get wiped down daily, mostly after the evening meal. I have a porcelain farmhouse sink with one of those stainless steel grates. So the sink itself gets scrubbed at least 2x's a week as well.

Pudger, my MIL has a set schedule for cleaning, etc. Certain day to clean the house, another day for laundry, a day for ironing, etc. Friday is go to the store and get gas LOL. And it's only her! She's retired and my husband keeps telling her she relax and forget schedules!

Our cleaning person comes three days a week, and she cleans the K each time and the bathrooms and does the laundry. TBH it is too much with only 1 kid living at home and our travel and summer away, but I am trying to decide how and when to scale it back. We are not her only clients but still. She has been with us 10 years, too.

Cleaning the powder rooms is not much as they are not used a lot. She does a full cleaning each time on my BA and on DH's, and the other baths are based on which kid/s are home.

I clean the kitchen if i make dinner on a night when she is not expected the next day.

House cleaner does a thorough cleaning every two weeks. I clean up the kitchen at least once a day - wipe down counters and sink. Everything is clean and put away before I go to bed. Wood floors as I notice a need - suck up debris with a hand held vac and wipe spills with a paper towel. I don't clean the bathroom between housecleaning unless I see a need which is usually sucking up cat hair/dust balls that are floating around. Counter, sinks, toilet if I see something that needs to be cleaned. The rest of the house stays pretty clean with just the two of us except for cat hair. I don't vacuum - only suck up stuff that's floating around on the wood floor. I've had a house cleaner for at least thirty years - not sure how I'd approach cleaning if I was doing it myself.

I wash my bathtub out every time I use it. I scrub the toilet every couple of days. I scrub the bathroom sinks and counters once a week.

I clean the kitchen nightly. DH cooks too but cleans up after himself so no problem there. I fill up the dishwasher after dinner and he empties it after he's made our breakfast.

All the floors get done once every 7 to 10 days. I do sweep/wet mop the bathroom and kitchen floors more frequently as needed.

We do laundry the minute our laundry basket is full. DHS close user changes outfit twice in a day so usually we have a load by the end of the second day.

Our office is messy fairly often. That is the one place that we allow for things to stay where they are until we're finished a project. Right now it's paperwork time again. But as soon as it is finished we put everything away and give the room a good scrub down. That's probably every two weeks. I keep my desk well dusted in the interim. DH not so much.

Living room and spare room are vacuumed and dusted every 2 weeks along with the rest of the house.

I have actually been able to keep up this routine for quite a while. Sometimes I look around in a semi shock when I realize I can keep up with my housework and work too. Before it would have been difficult just to sit up.

Most of us have to really experiment based on our lifestyles home size and everybody's way of living in order to get a good cleaning schedule. If one can do it clean as you go is a good place to start.

I've noticed that people keeping the house successfully tidy engage children at a very young age in taking part in the cleaning process. According to their abilities of course. I was semi-successful with this but my children are still very clean and tidy despite me.
