to ask you how much cleaning you do...

[NicoleLorenzo]

Very open question...

How much cleaning do you do?

If you have a partner, how much do they do?

Do you share equally or does one do more than the other?

I would say I do 95%, DP does the other 5%. Bit fed up and wondering if anyone else has a cleaning averse partner.

As little as possible I do about an hour a day but I find it such a chore. Husband works long hours and I work part time so he does about 20%, 2 children, one is an adult, one is 12 and 2 dogs

I do 100%. DH works full time. I'm a sahm. Suits us perfectly.

When he’s been at work (usually 16 + hour day) I do it all. 4 hours a day in total.

When he’s got a day off or days off we split it.

4 hours a day sodding? Every day?!

I’d say it’s a fairly equal share in our house. I reckon an hour or so a day between us - washing up, wiping surfaces etc then whatever needs doing that isn’t a daily thing, like cleaning the bathroom or dusting. I do hoover most days as well but we have cats and one of them sheds a lot, otherwise I wouldn’t bother. I maybe do a bit more but I get home earlier, only work term time and OH does all the driving to DS’s extracurricular activities on an evening.

50/50 split. I'm on maternity leave and he works & runs his own business.

Blimey 4 hours of cleaning a day? That's nuts.

Me and DP work full time, but I have a 1+ hour commute and his is 10 mins so I'm out of the house a lot longer. Still do 95%...

Aye literally, I’ve got OCD so it is nuts. It wasn’t as much when we lived in a smaller house to be fair, stupid amount of rooms = stupid amount of cleaning.

I'm envious you have the time! But if that suits you then ace. I bet your house is beautifully shiny!

We try to do the washing up each night so it's done, but if not -usually- DP will do it before I get home so I can then cook. We usually hoover halfway through the week and again on the weekend. DP does it in the week and I do it Saturday morning. I normally do the bathroom on the weekend but we both spot clean in the week. Bedding is changed on Fridays and we do that together as the bed is so big. Tidying up in the front room is usually Saturday mornings and I do that so I know where everything is. DP does all the gardening and dog poo and taking the bins out. I decide what we have for dinner and shop on the way home as I pass the supermarkets or I go to the farm shops near my work at lunchtime. We both tidy the bedroom, basically whoever goes up with a bin bag when we're sorting the rubbish the night before the binmen come -wr tend to have lots of empty water bottles up there-.

Both work full time.
Dh doing loads more hours than me at the moment but I'm doing school runs household paperwork and phone calls. Kids teas and pack ups daily dog walking. And wiping over kitchen loo etc.
To be fair to dh he's doing 50 plus he's a week at the moment and revising for an upcoming theory test and still pegs out washing in mornings if I've put it on early enough. Feeds dogs in mornings gets dc lunches out of fridge and in their bags ready,empties recycle bins and main bin and cooks our tea most nights (we eat later due to his hours)
On his day off he hoovers house polished cleans floors tidied kitchen and loo and will cut grass,any other bits he gets time for.

He's an absolute Jem and believes everything should be team work.
I loves him I do

We both do what needs to be done.

today I have bleached the bathrooms and cleaned the shower cubicles glass, cleaned all the windows, done 4 lots of washing and moped and however all the rooms, polished and deep cleaned the kitchen, took about 3.5 hours in total.

Dh finished work and stripped the beds and cleaned the dc bedrooms and put all the washing away.

We mop and however daily as well as dry dusting as DC2 is anaphylactic to dust mite. I do mostly this, as his bedroom takes a hour to hoover, his bedding gets frozen every 5 days, however we have 2 sets of bedding so his spare bedding gets defrosted and dried ready for the next day.

@NicoleLorenzo SAHM which is how I have the luxury of that amount of time. I wish it was beautifully shiny, my 3 kids and dog put paid to that

I have to say if you’re both working full time it does seem terribly unfair that you do 95%,

And DP will clean the kitchen when washing up, and I'll do it after cooking

Oh and we both put washing on as & when.

It depends what you class as 'cleaning'. If it's cleaning + bins + laundry + supermarket + shopping, I would say we do about 12 hours a week between us. Equal split of time but not of tasks.
Actual cleaning is probably only 2-3 hours a week :(

I wouldn't count laundry, supermarket etc. By cleaning I mean... cleaning... like, making things clean

4 hours? 3.5 hours?

I am retired.
He works ft and does about 40% of the cleaning and all the garden.
I love a clean tidy house...takes about 3 hours a week to clean it...4 bed, 3 bathrooms.

Both work full time but I get in an hour earlier. DH does about 5% and even then thinks I’m lucky. He’s pretty brilliant otherwise so although I moan, this isn’t a battle I ever think I’ll win. Things get done as and when needed (or at midnight when I get fed up “of the state of it”).

None. Not one single second. I pay a lovely lady to clean for me once a week. I'm naturally tidy, so she doesn't have to tidy for me. I'm retired, but bloody hate cleaning. I cannot remember when I last used the vacume cleaner.

As little as possible because life is too short. I do enough to get by but that's it.

I probably do more than OH but he does nearly all the cooking, which suits me just fine!

Very little, as I am a lazy cow. But my claim to fame is changing the sheets once a week. I love getting into a nice clean bed. And I clean the bathrooms (2). After that I'm finished. Well I will put stuff in the D/W and wipe down the sides and sweep the floor. I am sooo good.

After that OH does the rest, I made a good choice there.

He does all the vacuuming, dusting, garden, pressure washing, ironing (not too much just his work shirts).

Did I say I was lazy?

Housework is such a fkn thankless task anyway. Drudgery, every day same thing. So I only do the weekly tasks now.

So shoot me.

Oh and the teenager has to do his fair share of course

I do about 99% , and DH does 1%. Badly on purpose
