How often do you clean door frames/skirting boards?

[reastie]

Just nosy really . Mine seem to always gather dust so quickly which for some reason didn't seem to happen at our old house . It's something that isn't in my regular cleaning routine I just do sporadically, wondering if people generally do this as a routine.

goodness me I sound boring

I have a pledge fluffy disposable duster that I use for this just when I'm dusting everything else - takes 2 minutes because it's done weekly. I also use the brush nozzle on my Hoover if I can't be bothered.

Wipe them down? Maybe once a month on a full scale clean.

In 5.5 years here...never.

joins reastie in the boring corner

carpe I regularly vacuum them with attachment but don't really clean them much , yesterday I did pledge them and made me realise I rarely do it.

Every time we re-decorate

I'm in fliss's camp

When I'm on the toilet I notice how grubby they are and think I MUST clean them, then I forget all about it until next time.

Haha. Obviously I meant I can see the ones in the bathroom, I can't see those in the rest of the house!

And I was imagining an open plan loo in your house lee

I've only started doing the wipe downs as I've started "Flying" due to panics about having other mums and kids round for playdates with DS (only 18mo so at the age of hiding behind the couch where I've stuffed the crap!)

I know they probably couldn't care less - but I'm a bit paranoid and always think they'll judge until I learnt they all have a cleaner

I do them once a month. House is massive, can't get round to it any more often. If people want to moan about it I hand them a cloth and tell them to get busy.

Er, probably once a year but more likely every 3 years.

Once a month since my mum sponsored a cleaning lady for us

Well not on any kind of regular basis. Once a year at most probably.

I think I need a cleaning lady please . We moved in here a year ago and alot of rooms haven't been painted or decorated for 20 years plus, so no matter what I do it always looks tatty. I do tend to properly clean the skirting in the rooms we have redecorated more often as at least they look clean

I have the same problem, reastie. The house so badly needs redecorating that no matter what I do, it looks a state.

So I do nothing. That way no time is wasted.

Once every 6 weeks. Along with tops of cupboards. It's the first thing I do, on the first day of every school holiday.

I sound so perfect, don't I? Fear not, I do jack shit for the six or seven weeks I'm at school!

I dust and polish mine 3 times a week, but then I only have a little flat and a big problem

Maureen you had me worried when I just read your first sentence there

I thought you'd be far more frequent than me

reastie=slattern? nope, those two words are incompatible

WTAF, people clean this shit?
