How do you clean your house?

[BeyonceZ]

How do you tackle it?

I have not cleaned in weeks (well months) because of uni/work/life etc. Now I have a break and the place is so messy/dirty.

I feel overwhelmed.

How do you do start and how do you do it?

Christ.
I clearly do minimal.

The place is always relatively tidy because I keep on top of it. But its all superficial.
But actual cleaning, I do hardly any.
I hoover once or twice a week. And do bathroom and toilet and kitchen floor. Floor only.
The rest of the time I spend doing 4 loads of washing, hang it out, iron it and put it into piles.
Then I make ds's pair socks, put their piles of clothes away and clean the bathroom floors. Ds1 has to clean the bathroom. Dh does the downstairs toilet. I get ds2 to dust the skirting boards!!

I never dust.
I give very bad surfaces a wipe every now and then.
I haven't cleaned out my fridge for ages. I normally do it just before I have a party. out of embarrassment!!

I live in a bungalow so I start at the front with the bedrooms and work my way back. I take a black bag to chuck rubbish in and some cleaning stuff to clean as I go. Since I'm starting in the bedrooms all washing gets put away then and any to be done gets chucked in the kitchen. I hoover each room as it's done. Takes me about 4-5 hours to do it properly once a week then I do little bits each day to stop it becoming a pit.

I laughed at grudgingly. I came to post "rarely"

The house is generally tidy, but I don't do a daily vacuum or anything like that! I keep on top of the laundry, the kitchen worktops are always clean and the washing up is always done. The toilets get 'stuff' squirted down them every morning before leaving the house and cleaned when I get back in. The vacuuming, full bathroom/downstairs loo clean, dusting gets done probably once a week (unless I see something that really annoys me then it will be done!).

I don't. I hate cleaning. I pay someone else to do it.

do one room at a time
then you can see the achievement
start with something manageable/small like bathroom
chuck out anything surplus
clean whole room
organise remaining stuff

Weekly. I hate a messy/dirty house but with 2 boys it's hard to keep it pristine!

I can't sit still if I know the room needs dusting or hoovering but knowing it will all be lovely and clean by Friday afternoon tides me over!
