Do each room at a time and set my timer for 30 mins in each room. I do 4 rooms twice a week then general tidying through the week. Today, will be two bedrooms, bathroom and landing. Because I do it every week, what should be 2 hours is more like an hour.
Once you are on top of it, it becomes less work if you establish a routine. Plus the timer gives me a goal and stops me faffing.
When I make a cup of tea in the morning and the kettle is boiling, I can empty the dishwasher, put things in if any are left, wipe down work surfaces and cupboard fronts with Dettol wipes. Fridge gets wiped weekly inside with Dettol wipes before shopping arrives. Inside cupboards get wiped weekly on rota.
Living room. Dusted twice a week but each day, the floor is cleared, table tidied and cushions plumped and throws folded before bed. DS puts his stuff away before he goes to bed.
Bedrooms. Beds made daily. Last one up makes bed, DS makes own bed, blinds open and window open each morning. Dusted both twice a week.
Bathroom and downstairs loo. Toilet cleaned every other day, sinks too using Dettol wipes. Shower and bath cleaned twice a week.
Bins emptied weekly, bedding changed weekly, bathmats washed weekly, dishcloths and kitchen sponge soaked daily washed weekly, towels washed weekly.
Bathroom and loo floor mopped three times a week, kitchen floor every other night, carpet floors vacuumed when needed. Hallway table and picture frames on wall dusted once a week along with Bannister cleaned once a week.
Clothes washing upto 4 times a week and ironing once a week (half hour at most since I switched to only ironing essentials)
Wipes seem to cut down cleaning time too. I use Dettol wipes but also wet and dry cloth for dusting.
DH does the jobs I've not been able to get done plus he maintains the front and back garden and cleans our cars. We share cooking.
