How often do you deep clean your house all the way through?

[ghejxodn]

Firstly, AIBU to be totally fed up of cleaning?!
My house is not a tip (I don't think!) but I have just spent 2 whole days cleaning it from top to bottom and it's still not finished. Twice a year I usually deep clean all the way through- things such as touch up paint, clean rugs/sofa/carpet with a professional carpet cleaner, scrub the whites around the windows, pull beds/furniture out and clean behind. I also spent at least an hour cleaning every day without the bigger jobs such as changing beds, cleaning blinds/windows etc. It honestly feels like a complete never ending task. Me and DH have been cleaning for the last two days in preparation for Christmas (last bit of annual leave before we put our tree up). I really wish I had a cleaner.

I never do this, sorry. I will deep clean a room every so often, but life is too short....

This is a thing?

Never

Last time was when we moved in (4 y ago).

And 1h / day is mental.

How often do you deep clean your house all the way through?

Once.

Not once per month, or year, or whatever. Just … once.

We get around to everything you have mentioned over the course of a year or two, but not all at once, no.

Never

I never do this all in one go. I will start now doing one room a week until Christmas though.

I never deep clean the whole house at once, it would take me ten days and I'd be exhausted by day three.

Argh maybe I'm the crazy one! But does it not get really dirty if you don't clean? An hour a day isn't much when you think of dishwasher/bathroom/making beds/sweeping/mopping etc?

When I sell the house.

Never.

Nope

Never!

I never have.

Dh cleans all the bathrooms once a week and hoovers. I dust occasionally.

Don't have particularly high standards though when it comes to cleaning

When we moved in.

Another one saying never.

Nope, never sorry. Or maybe if I'm decorating a room and clear all the furniture out, I might then.

I clean for about 6 hours on a Saturday or Sunday once a week.

I don't do this either. I'm seriously considering a cleaner which seems really extravagant, but still.

Never ... no, I don't think it does get that dirty. Do you have pets and/or messy DC? An hour cleaning every day plus your deep cleaning sounds a bit OTT to be honest. I do about an hour a week ... on a good week.

Never. I do a room at a time. When I have time. So e rooms (bathroom) more often as its an easy one. The other more clutteredrooms I'd aim for twice a year but might be once a year.

You can cut your time in half by delegating to the other adult - voila, now your daily cleaning only takes 30 minutes.

Do you mop daily?

If you can’t have a cleaner get a robot hoover at least, that will sort floors.

Wait, you spend an hour a day cleaning your house? Do you live in a mansion?

We never go through and do a big deep clean like you in one go. But I do try to tackle jobs that don't get don't very much on a regular basis. So once a week I will for example, pick out a cupboard that hasn't been cleared in a while and throw away anything from it that we don't need.

Paint touch ups would be done maybe once a year, unless there was something really obvious that needed seeing to.
