To ask how often you think the average house is vacuum cleaned?

[fallingapart2]

How often? Settle a debate on what constitutes 'normal' and what's excessive please.

Once a week, when the cleaner comes

'If you don’t have a job it’s 1-3 times a week.

If you raise children and work, it’s when the cleaner comes or when you can be arsed.

I literally could not give a shit when my house was last hoovered.

Is this what women talk about in 2023. So fucking boring, joined onto the troll yesterday who said washing was easy - yep it is but I would still rather not do it because I am not a 1950s robot and my DH does it or I pay for someone else to do my washing..'

you care enough about it to read and post on the thread

Weekly downstairs. Upstairs maybe every 2-3 weeks. We're pretty relaxed. No pets.

As an average I would say, main rooms downstairs about twice per week. Bedrooms and upstairs landing about every 3 or 4 weeks.
I think there's probably a lot of variation from daily hoovering to monthly and, of course, houses with small children and/or pets need more frequent hoovering.

I would say about twice a week for areas of the house that get used a fair bit. But that is my Eufy AKA Bernard. The horrid heavy useless shark upright is used around once a fortnight on the stairs and in the corners/ crevices that Bernard can't reach.

Hoover/mop downstairs daily, upstairs and stairs weekly... then scape the stairs and living room fortnightly.

Daily, but we have pets and DS is a muck magnet 😂

Once a week with hetty and as hoc with robot

Quite a few people seem to do the stairs less often.
I’d say our stairs are probably what needs doing the most often

Daily in the school holidays, weekends only in term time. Due to working hours (teacher) rather than any kind of term time vacuum aversion.

Once a week while house. Twice or three times downstairs.

Not RTFT

I hoover every day downstairs - no pets but I think I have an especially messy family as the grot builds up even when we are all at work! Sweep the kitchen and hall floor then hoover it up and do the living room too. No shoes in house.

Hoover stairs and upstairs twice a week.

No idea if this is normal and I don't really care. We are all different. Tho I do wonder about people who hoover less than once a week. I like to walk barefoot without treading in loads of crud.

I was feeling so alone on this thread about my infrequent hoovering until I read your post.

Ten minutes for the whole house? Do you live in a doll's house?

It takes me ten minutes to find the dollies for moving the furniture, get the furniture onto the dollies, and move it out from the walls in one room.

Jesus, if you have to hoist your furniture in the air to hoover it, just leave it be, who's going to know?

I vacuum once a week, unless the floor looks grubby to me then it gets an extra vroom. Only mop once every 2-3 weeks. I would do it more but I just don't have the time and energy.

With heavily shedding dogs whose long fur picks up bits (leaves, twigs) from outside, it needs it every day or two, but realistically once a week is usual for me. Maybe twice if it's particularly bad. I don't have the time, energy, or will to do it daily. We've no babies crawling on the floors, so it's more a matter of aesthetics than necessity.

Several times a day in my house

Downstairs is daily for me and upstairs is weekly. I'd guess the av. To be weekly.

Daily. After about half a day it's a horrendous mess from two messy children and oh.

Weekly - no pets, no kids, two adults who don’t spend enough time at home! It would be less often if we didn’t have a cleaner…

Twice a day for me! Not the whole house but downstairs. Shitty laminate with 3 toddlers. Upstairs twice a week

Twice per day??! What are you doing in there?

The what? The dollies? What's a dolly?

I would sssume once a week is the norm.
More of pets.

I hoover Dyson once a week. Plus eufy once a week.
