Hoover the carpets - no carpets; damp mop wooden floors quickly every day or two.
Mop the floor - kitchen done twice weekly; rest damp mopped ^^
Clean toilets - every second day.
Clean dishwasher - hardly ever.
Clean washing machine - once a month. It's a communal machine and I run a cup of white vinegar through it on a hot cycle with a towel wash.
Cut grass - LL does this.
Change bedsheets - weekly.
Dust - every other day.
Clean bathroom/toilet - big clean up including bathtub, tiles, and floor mopped once a week
Clean oven - once in a blue moon.
Clean fridge - every two weeks. Go through and throw out leftovers, odd bits weekly.

Any others I am missing?
Windows - interior every two weeks. LL is supposed to take care of exterior but doesn't Sad
Kitchen cabinet/ drawer doors - weekly.
Stovetop/counter top - daily.
Dusting ceilings/corners - weekly. Also skirting boards.
Top of fridge - monthly.
Sorting out and checking pantry/staples - monthly.
Bedding (not sheets) - monthly wash.
Sanitising bins - weekly.

@FindingMeno

I do it when I can't get away with it any longer.
I wish I did it that often! 😆

I often wonder how threads such as this one end up getting resurrected.
