Off the back of another thread I realised am ridiculously organised and my house is always tidy, always ready for visitors etc didn’t realise how tidy I was until I started commenting on and reading the other thread. So just a fun, or nosy AMA.
maybe there’s nothing to ask 🤣 thought it might be interesting though…

Please could you post your daily cleaning / tidying schedule?

sorrynotathome · 30/08/2025 07:02

Is your head like your house? 😁

Bippityboppityboo67 · 30/08/2025 07:03

Do you have a particular routine?
I'm constantly cleaning and tidying but never seems to last any time at all.

You see this is what I’ve realised. I don’t have a daily routine. I work 8-4:30 mon-Fri.
I tidy everything as I go, I don’t leave things out of place.
in terms of cleaning- I sweep/hoover, wipe down the kitchen after dinner each day.
shower screens get wiped down during/after every second shower or so.
bathrooms get wiped down pretty much daily as I’m getting ready/brushing teeth. So the sink and towel rail etc. toilets get washed once/twice a week when I’m using them. So I will go to the toilet flush etc and then I will use toilet cleaner to clean the inside and a bathroom wipe to wipe it down and flush again, wash hands and off I go.
I do most of this stuff without a plan as such though.
hoovering the house is something I just get up and do randomly. 🤣
saturday morning is laundry day (mainly because Saturday I have few electrics so I make the most of that!) laundry= wash, dry outside, fold/iron and put away so by Sunday eve everything is done. If the weather is bad, I’ll use the dryer and everything is done by Saturday night. I don’t iron everything so when I they are dry I sort them into a fold pile and an iron pile. I will iron everything and then put everything away at the same time.

Interesting, my head can be a mess at times. I’m an overthinker/worrier about things that involve my dc…and interactions with people in work.

Not a particular routine no, I just do a lot as I go.

How many kids do you have?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 30/08/2025 07:16

How many kids do you have and what ages? How much do you get them to do?

Hoolahoophop · 30/08/2025 07:20

Are you really thin? One of those people who never sits down and burns energy always being busy?

Id like to be one of those people!

Ah, so you’re out of the house and asleep most of the time. Are your kids also?

I think we must have different kinds of households. Laundry isn't just a pop a load or two in on Saturday morning job here, it's a load a day or system meltdown.

Do you have a partner and kids? And if so, do they always tidy/clean as they go? And how did you train them? Haha.

I do exactly as you do, if I lived alone my house would be spotless. But my goodness my husband and kids just can’t be trained to do the same. The mess they make every day 😭

cittykat · 30/08/2025 07:26

You must have no children! If we don't do 1-3 loads a day then the backlog would be insane. so much gym kit, normal clothes, school uniform, bedding, towels, swim kit etc

To be fair, so am I ( and kuds whenntheyre ar school) but my house is a mess and I'm super disorganised!

@Reanimated same, I do 7+ loads a week. By the time I’ve washed three lots of bedding, towels for the week, clothes for two kids… it’s way more than I could possibly do in a day. Bedding alone takes 2-3 washes

THISnewbeginning · 30/08/2025 07:27

Do you want to come and sort my house out?

Kitchenbattle · 30/08/2025 07:28

BusWankers · 30/08/2025 07:16

How many kids do you have?

I have 2, I will admit when they were small they had a playroom that I would organise every evening too, that took a bit of time but they helped. I had to have it back to normal for the start of each day

You know I actually would, I would love to actually make a career out of it but I just don’t see it paying enough 😩

How do you even get away with a load of laundry a week?? If there's at least 3 of you?
