How long should this take two adults?

[MovinOnUp]

I had a cleaner to do (most of) this list until recently but now BF is moving in soon and we are trying to cut costs.
Previous cleaner is my friend so we spent a lot of her time here drinking coffee and chatting so I've no idea how long the actual cleaning took.
Both of us working together, How long do you think this would take...

90 mins each?

Four hours

However long it takes it would be shorter if you dropped a few things that look to me like a waste of time. I don't think I clean the top of the fridge more than once a year I don't even know what 'high dusting' is or that people still beat rugs. Do you need to hoover every day?

I am groggily feeding DD and 'high dusting' has amused me. Thanks OP.

High dusting is just running a feather duster around the top of the wall/ceiling join and top of door frames.
The rug is a cow hide that doesn't really take well to hoovering so it gets whacked with a makeshift beater.
Top of the fridge probably doesn't need doing every week, I'm too short to see the top anyway :)
3 ragdoll cats mean I definitely need to hoover every day (I am hoping to get a dog next year also, So will perhaps have to hoover more rather than less)

I'm not smoking 'exotic' cigarettes whilst wielding a feather duster :)

Get a robot vacuum. I have five cats and it's changed my life.

You are making housework seem like very hard work OP. Can't you relax a little? I'd struggle to live with that regime imposed on me

@Aquamarine1029 I really want one, Especially when we get the dog. I'm thinking I can do my other morning stuff, Set the robot on it's merry way and go out for a walk :)
Which do you recommend?

@MrsJoshNavidi Don't say that too loudly, The BF might hear you and agree :)

The daily morning stuff takes less than an hour and the evening stuff similar as me and the kids do it together.

I was thinking (hoping) the Saturday stuff would be around two hours of graft between the two of us. But as my friend used to do 'the big clean' for me I'm not sure

I bought a Eufy robot vacuum and I love it. It's amazing how good of a job it does.

I'm going to treat myself on payday (Jesus, That may be the most middle-aged thought I've ever had :) )

Probably not as long as it took you to write all that down!

Fairly certain it will take much longer than five minutes.

I think a couple of hours each (so 4 total).

I recommend cleaning the splashback and appliances in the kitchen each time you use them. Saves a massive amount of time in the long run.

I kind of clean any exploding sauce patterns off the splashback each evening but will need the BF to give it a proper scrub at the weekend, Basically anything that requires a bit of elbow grease I'll need him to do as my joints are knackered.

The BF? My BF I meant.

OP, just wondering if you’ve had a chat with your bf about this. The extensive nature of your list makes me feel a bit worried about how this will work out. Does your bf have similarly high standards and is prepared to put the time in to meet those standards? If not, it may be easier to keep the cleaner!

Honestly, if I was moving in with you I would find your expectations rather daunting. I’ve never cleaned a toaster or wiped down a door!

We had the discussion when we were talking about how we would merge our finances and would we have a cleaner.

I honestly don't think its loads. Don't most people do a big clean at the weekend and just do the basics to keep on top of it through the week?

Toaster is chrome so it's usually got fingerprints. Actually, Why are they even touching the actual toaster though? instead of just the push down bit?

Door handles and the area of door around the handle definitely need a weekly wipe.(Or perhaps my kids are just particularly sticky handed)

Assume this is a once-every-few-months type of deep clean? I reckon it will take about 5-6 hours.

An hour every morning? Do you not go to work?
We have a cat (just one) and don't hoover every day. Are ragdoll cats more hairy?

Are you Mrs Hinch OP?

You dust and hoover the living room twice a day? I don’t even do mine twice a week.

Just relax and have some fun when your BF moves in. The two of you aren’t Kim and Aggie

I go to work, But I start at 10 so I have an hour and a bit once the kids have left for school, Quick tidy round and a shower then work.

There is only a tv unit and a side table to dust and I give them a quick dust twice a day.
Ragdolls are long haired but I'm not sure how they compare to other cats in terms of shedding.

Bedrooms mentioned only for bedding being stripped and mopping floors - you’ve got kids so do they clean/dust/tidy their own ? Not sure how many bedrooms.

There are things on your list which do seem excessive to me (front porch mopped daily!) but of course it may need it and/or you may have very high standards.

I’d say your Saturday/weekly clean is around 3 hours so as per q for two of you 90mins. The daily list looks about a hour all told so divided by the two of you 30 mins. Ish.

I thought my house was clean until I read your list! You don't honestly do this every weekend do you?
