My question is about 'communal' rooms in your home ( ie hall, loo/bathroom, living room and kitchen). I am trying to make a loose schedule and wondering what others do.

If you ignore the daily stuff like laundry, tidying up, making beds, washing up etc, which tasks would you class as weekly, and which as monthly?

I'm thinking:

WEEKLY

Mop floors
Proper clean loo and bathroom
Water plants
Dust
Wipe skirtings and paintwork
Hoover including edges
Clean bin
Clean sink area
Cobwebs

MONTHLY

Move furniture like sofa and clean underneath
Windows
Oven
Kitchen cupboards
Clean washing machine drawer/ service wash
Clean lightshades
Spot clean carpets

What would you add ( sure I've forgotten plenty) or change??

Following for answers as I feel I'm awful at this type of thing. Like how often an I supposed to clean out the cutlery drawer or dust the plants?
