Conflicting discussions with friends have prompted this post (and the fact that I'm ridiculously nosey!)

I think I'm pretty normal, so on a good week I

  • Wipe down kitchen surfaces (and sink) every day
  • Wipe down and bleach loos every few days
  • Polish furniture once a week / fortnight
  • Hoover once a week
  • Mop once a week
  • Clean bathroom once a week
  • Wipe down kitchen with kitchen cleaner once a week
  • Bedding changed weekly
  • Towels changed weekly

On a busy week less is done ... (hoovering and polishing normally first to go...)

Toying with getting some of those e-cloths to wipe bathroom over with every day so less hard water marks but not sure if I can be bothered Grin

However, I have friends who hoover house and 'propely' clean bathrooms and kitchens every day. Others hoover every half-term.

What's a mn 'normal'???

Millimat- yes! Honestly! I bung the laundry in and let it get on with it.
Wipe over toilet and basin and spray down shower with vinegar and water ( I use this to clean everything!).
I have a mop with spray bottle attached and a microfibre mat so spray and go. Takes 5 mins to wash the floor. Because I do it often it never gets filthy.
Then Hoover.
Honestly no more than 20 mins!

I do a lot and I love those Brillo pink pads ☺️
Only because I work 2 school days a week so don't earn enough to do anything more interesting. Plus we have a white cat...bloody fur!!
When I worked 30-40 hours per week I did the bare minimum. Oven never got cleaned. Upstairs never was hoovered.
