Re: How long does it take to clean your home

I basicly clean every day doing rich ups and vacuuming. I dust throuly once or twice or ad needed. I reorganize things as needed. I'm a clean freak.

Re: How long does it take to clean your home

Sounds familiar. I tell my other the same thing when done put it back. I always am telling him close the cupboard door. He leaves them open and leaves the kitchen drawers open. He tells me I'm a too picky. He lol and says wow you always put every thing in its place. Lol

Re: How long does it take to clean your home

What is that word that starts with a c??

Seriously I don't really know.  I don't clean everything at once or even one room completely.  I will do the shower stall and sink then another time the floor and toilet.  The same in all the rooms - vacuum a good bit but hate to dust so a little dust never killed anyone!  Each room done a small bit at a time.  I don't care if everything is in perfect order and with no clutter on tables, etc.  I clean up spills and things as they happen and the kitchen counter several times a day due to use and the floor when it needs it.  Now that I'm older it just isn't important to waste my time obsessing about cleaning.

Re: How long does it take to clean your home

2 hours every two weeks when the cleaning ladies come. Between their visits I do minor straightening up, etc. on a daily basis but nothing else. We have a 2800 sq ft single story house, 3 bdrm, 3 bath.

Re: How long does it take to clean your home

@Pook,

My sentiments exactly!   

 

Since I retired 5 years ago, I have been determined to live my life as stress free as possible, which includes not obsessing about cleaning my house.   A family of 4 lives here comfortably, and we are happy here, which is exactly what I want anyone to see as soon as they step inside my home.

Re: How long does it take to clean your home

Our home is a 2 story, but it is small, and since both my husband and I are neat freaks, we keep our home up every day....Yesterday after church I ran the vacuum and dusted, Saturday I did laundry. So we really don't make too much of a mess, and everything has to be in its place. I never go to bed with a messy house. We both still work full time, so we tend to do our house in small increments...

Re: How long does it take to clean your home

It's hard to say because i do a little cleaning every day. I "swiffer" the hardwood every day, I vacuum the entryway every couple days (im in Minnesota so salt and sand from the garage) I wipe down the bathroom counter every day after i get ready. I wipe down the kitchen countertops every night after dinner. I just do little touch ups here and there. I find it much easier to do if I keep it up, thats what works for me.

We pretty much do the same thing/ I think that’s why it doesn’t take long to clean. Our old house the upstairs didn’t get cleaned everyday but living in a ranch it’s much easier.

Re: How long does it take to clean your home

I clean each day but could never do my entire home in one day.  Sometimes I just vacuum, sometimes it's cleaning sinks and floors... just depends but vacuuming is what I do the most often.  It never ends.
