How much time do you spend cleaning?

[cholka]

From another thread I see some people clean their floors, bathrooms etc daily. With lots of bleach.
I don't do much cleaning at all. I manage to carve out about half an hour for myself a day and I'm not spending it cleaning. I probably do half an hour a week of actual cleaning, not clearing plates, laundry etc.
How long do other people clean for? Do you think people like me are gross and unhygienic?

I hate cleaning. I did clean the shower trap today and it definitely needs cleaning more often as it was gross!

I prob spend 2 hours a day cleaning and tidying , I can't sit and relax unless everything is done. Once a week il spend about 4-5 in one go but that's doing skirting boards, window sills , all doors, mirrors, tiles in bathrooms. I just like my home in pristine condition but would never judge anyone who doesn't

45mins (at most) a day... I follow The Organised Mum Method. 15mins of quick easy jobs then 30mins in a different room each day.

Sweet fuck all. I do it ad hoc as I think of it. When I'm having a wee I occasionally remember to squirt some bleach down after. It's about once a week. I think bleaching toilets every day is the definition of insanity.

One of us does the kitchen after dinner every night, that's surfaces and sweep floor. That's about 15 mins but it's DH as often as me as does it.

Vacuum once a week but we've a handheld Dyson so it's a piece of piss. Never do the whole house in one pop. Definitely don't do the upstairs every week.

Laundry every other day. About 15 mins folding and putting away. We don't own an ironing board.

Throwing toys in a Kallax unit takes seconds. That thing is amazing.

So not much really.

Practically none, I have a weekly cleaner.
I do the loos in between cleaner visits and might sweep/mop/hoover downstairs once too. But not often.
Cleaning is boring!
I wipe surfaces, wash up what can’t go in dishwasher etc as I go. But little else.

But some people seem to like it, and spend hours at it. Mind you, I’ll happily spend hours mucking out horses and chickens. That is not boing somehow!

As little time as possible. I don’t acrually know as I have a merthod where I got it in as doing other stuff. For instance if making dinner or boiling kettle I’ll do dishes wipe side clean floors in kitchen. Go up to loo and clean the floor. It keeps on top without spending hours doing it.

Thanks! Maybe I need to up my game..

I follow The Organised Mum Method as well it's fab if I work it well I do all cleaning within 4 days and then the remainder all I have to do is mop floors (crawling 9 month old) and clean sinks/toilets and any leftover laundry. I highly recommend it. I don't judge others homes as frankly you never know what others are dealing with.

Tidying - few mins in kitchen after each meal, put toys away after bedtime if I’m feeling energetic.

Cleaning - kitchen surfaces daily, maintenance wipe round of the bathroom couple times a week. Laundry daily. Floors when I get a chance, maybe once a fortnight. 😄

All flipping day, and its still looks like ive done nothing.

Depends how much time I have but over a week around 15 hours plus other jobs like oven cleaning de-cluttering ect as and when
Washing most days prefer if possible to wash iron and put away each day

I follow TOMM so about 30 mins, plus another hour if I include laundry, ironing, tidying the kitchen after meals, making beds, emptying dishwasher etc. So about an hour and a half to two hours a day in total.

I think I need to spend more time cleaning. I feel like allowing a couple of hours for jobs every weekday will help a lot..... Rather than resentfully wondering why everything is messy and grim.

I'm a housewife and I have one cleaning day a week (usually 2-3 hours): dusting and vacuuming our bedroom, landing and the living room, cleaning the bathroom. That's the main bulk.

Anything else - filing something, washing, wiping spills - happens when it presents itself but doesn't take much time. Every now and then I wash the floors (kitchen, hallway, another bedroom and study), but not too often. And we have a dishwasher.

I wouldn't say it takes much of my time. Doing it every day seems weird to me, either the person is very twitchy and needs to be "constantly busy" or an anal perfectionist. Or their family members take them for granted and shit everywhere.

And I don't think you're "gross and unhygienic" :)) You probably work and don't have time to bum around straightening the sofa cushions :)

I do it because I like living in clean and tidy environment, but have become super efficient at it.

bathroom = 5 minutes everyday

hoover living room, hall & stairs =10 mins every other day

kitchen, clean cooker, coffee machine, oven trays, load dishwasher, wipe over surfaces =15 mins every day together

hoover upstairs, strip bed, put wash on =20 mins every week

windows ground floor inside and out 20 minutes = every month

front garden, brush windowsills and front door, sweep drive, deadhead flowers, water garden = 30+mins every week

back garden, deadhead flowers, sweep floor = 15 mins every week
