How many hours a day do you clean?

[Lovelygardening]

I know obviously depends on who is in the house etc we are a family of 5. I am a carer to my youngest age 14 and have 2 older teens that work are at college and hubby that works long hours. I’m definitely not lazy but also I’m a rubbish housewife! How can I improve? It just isn’t something that comes naturally to me but bizarrely like a clean tidy home. For instance, the house was a tip the other day so I decided to dettol all my skirting boards and stair spindles. No one could tell I had done anything, I may as well have been sitting on my backside all day. How do people do it? I have no excuse of time and the chores should be down to me as that is my ‘role’ in the family life (no sexism just the way it is) my family don’t say anything and are very kind and forgiving but that makes me even more guilty. Help!!!!

Chores get done daily such as washing, washing up, cooking but proper cleaning about once/twice a week when I am off work. Rest of time I'm out a work and not in the mood to do more than feed us and keep us in clean clothes.

Hi! Very late on top this but thought I would share!

to begin with.. I hate cleaning. I love the house being clean but I hate doing it. I live in a 2 bed house and have a husband, daughter and 5 pets (combo of cats and dogs)

I spend about 35 mins a day cleaning or about 4 hours a week cleaning. I would much rather do it everyday than once a week for hours.

my daily jobs are: mopping, sweeping, wiping surfaces, kitchen, washing and drying, bathroom wipes, making beds, cleaning doggy pads, hoovering upstairs and the general tidy. Weekly jobs include polishing windows tidying front garden.

this sounds like a lot to do in 35 minutes but i literally set and alarm and run around the hosie with bleach and zoflora.

it’s super manageable and I have a cleaner who comes once a month for a deep clean.

try this method and see how it works!

Everyday I perform cleaning. It is my business, I clean home in Essex, UK cities.

None every day. I wfh one day mid-week, so eufy goes round then. Put a wash on. 2 hours cleaning on a Saturday morning. That's it.
