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.

Never. Not even when I moved in.

I really wish I had a cleaner

Why not save up and hire a cleaner for a deep clean every once in a while if you can't afford/don't want a regular cleaner? Life is too short to do all that you describe if you aren't being paid to do it.

Three times a year - top to bottom.

I shampoo carpets more often than that because they are cream, so about 6 times a year. I have animals as well.

When i decorate a room and the living room when i shift the furniture to make room for the Christmas tree

I don't do it all in one go

I do one job a day most days (eg clean oven)
For example today I cleared two main kitchen cupboards (takes me 20 mins)

Tomorrow I will sort the airing cupboard and then I will sort the windows another day this week. That's plenty this week on top of normal daily stuff.

Never in one go ! Stuff like paint jobs - every two years our house is very clean.

Never.

Too much clutter to clean that intensively, too few fucks to give.

I do about an hour or two a day cleaning and hoovering, and each day throughout the week I work on something else like organising or wiping down all the skirting boards and doors.

We have a cleaner now who comes once a month to wash the windows, wash curtains, hoover behind furniture etc.

I do it about twice a year. Helps with the overall cleaning and I find helps keep on top of clutter.

Never

Get a cleaner it’ll change your life

🤣 never. I did eat out under the beds when we went into the first lockdown. Just realised hoe long ago that was! I do the basics ever day, Di the bathroom every couple of days or when something need a wipe and steam mop the floor and dust once a week.

never while my arse points south

I do usually get the carpets cleaned once a year.

My answer is when we move in to a rental and then again when we move out ... I probably clean/ tidy for an average of 15 mins a day (quick wipe of kitchen, stack/empty dishwasher, wipe up child related mess, load of washing and put away). Once a week I might look at the floor/ bathroom/ whatever else and realise it needs hoovering/mopping. I wouldn't say it was a tip though. Absolutely no way I'd spend an hour a day at it. I deep clean my daughter's room every 1-2 months or so.

I’m not sure how to answer, as some of your deep cleaning items we do weekly..ie clean under and behind furniture, skirting board, doors, light switches. The windows I do daily. We clean a bit every day. Paint I touch up as I notice. Don’t have carpet, so floors washed twice weekly.

I’ve dont really deep clean.. we have a rota where everything gets done just not all at once.

At least once or twice a year I deep clean and have a clear out etc. keep on top of it through the weeks

Deep cleans are pretty much only when I'm pregnant and in full blown nesting mode. I was pulling out the sofas to hoover/mop when in labour with the most recent lol. Keeping our house clean is like raking leaves during a tornado so not worth stressing over.
I also clean when I'm angry, pretty sure that's why dh pisses me off sometimes.

Remove the first two words of the question and the answer is hellaNOPE

Once every year... 😂

Once a quarter, so four times a year. That said though, I have a weekly cleaner and no carpets in the house.

Nope. Apart from normal cleaning, I only do extra when I notice something looking particularly bad.

About 2 or 3 times a year I do a “pull the furniture out” type clean. I don’t touch up paint or anything like that and I’ve never cleaned my carpets except standard vacuuming. Takes a couple of days, but a lot of that is putting everything back where it should be, sorting through piles of kids clutter etc.

But I don’t do anything like an hour a day normally- dishwasher, sweep crumbs under the table, wipe the kitchen counters is about it for daily stuff. Bathrooms get cleaned pretty much as we go along - if I’m in the shower I’ll clean it while I’m there etc etc. I vacuum the bits I can see when they look like they need doing. Sheets are whenever I remember. Maybe an hour a week?!

Never, I clean bathrooms and kitchen weekly, Hoover when it looks like it needs it, dust when you can see it sitting on furniture, but lucky if I do one hour a week! Too busy working and doing stuff way more interesting than cleaning! Probably give it a bit of more thorough go over if someone visiting....

Only when I change the carpets or move. I have disabilities and can’t pull furniture out. I do clean every day though- hoover, clean worktops, dust etc. Bathrooms once a week etc.
