Routine Do you have a daily/weekly routine for cleaning? Or just wing it and do what needs to be done at the time?

I'm still waiting for Lacey to send me hers hahaha ?

My housework day is Friday which is shower, toilet and floors scrubbed, detail clean and vacuum and mop. All towels washed that day too.

Through the week the house gets a general tidy every night when the boys are winding down or in bed and a vacuum after dinner.

I've found doing this has kept my head above water and I have a 'yes I have kids' house not a 'animals live here' house haha

Following - sometimes I go out just to hide from it all ?

No routine, just do what needs doing :) I'm bit of a clean freak & can't stand mess/clutter, it gets me down :/

I hate cleaning and it always seems to pile up before I do anything about it. I really do need a routine but feel so tired after work each day. Living in a rural area with lots of dirt, I feel like there is dust everywhere, no matter how much I clean! But it's a small house so it's not too bad.

I do washing and dishes and picking up toys every day. The rest I do when I can.

Wow my husband would not survive 5 minutes in your house pp. He can't even manage putting his clothes in a basket! I wish my house was that clean

I just started a mini routine..we live in a 2bdrm unit & I'm 32wks preg with my 1st so no doubt this will change.

*Dishes and wipe down kitchen daily.

*Sweep floors every other day.

*Pickup and declutter every other day.

*Mop & Vac once a week.

*Bathroom & toilet once a week.

*Laundry as its needed (usually small load daily as DF is a truckie then a couple on weekend. About to step up as have to do all my baby stuff and MCNs)

*Bedsheets fortnightly.

*Wash dog fortnightly.

*Lawns fortnightly (that's DFs job and it's just a small grassed courtyard)

Think that's about it

ETA: we just moved 2mths ago and I used to always drown in housework too. I would cry coz there was no cutlery cpz I just loathed doing the dishes. So when we moved I threw out ALL our odd plates and cups and mugs and the tons of cutlery we had. I bought a 6pce set from Kmart $50. Now the most knives and forks PR plates or glasses I have to wash is 6!! And they're funky plates and bowls and mugs.

I did up a cleaning chart, divided into daily, weekly, monthly jobs and washing (which is a weekly roster). I'll take a photo after the kids are asleep. I used permanent texta on a whiteboard, and just use a whiteboard texta to tick off the done jobs

Oh boy, some of you ladies put me to shame.

I've lived in my house just on 2 years and I have NEVER cleaned the Windows.

Mind you we've been renovating since we moved in and we have a 17 month old and I'm 27 weeks pregnant (all excuses, I know!) so the house is always dusty, there's always power tools laying around, building equipment and building materials.

The clothes washing gets done probably 5 times a week, vacuuming gets done probably weekly or if there's a big spill, the floor gets spot cleaned every meal time (5 times a day) around the high chair

The bathroom gets cleaned when it's almost at the point of too dirty, but I give the toilet a quick going over every couple of days if it needs it

I hate cleaning and have a huge house, I can't wait to get a cleaner but it's just not practical while we're renovating to expect someone else to come in and clean:(

I don't clean windows...and I've moved out of 3rentals in the last year without doing em inside or out! Lol

Haha pp^ I done that also!! He learnt pretty bloody quick to do up his zips & button up & put them in the basket or they didn't get washed ?
