Deep clean once a week, wipe around the tub or use shower shine after every use.

littledawley · 13/02/2010 07:09

Actually, feel I should fess up that the deep clean is done by my cleaner

BooKangerooWonders · 13/02/2010 07:11

never - the cleaner does it once a week. But a quick wipe around between.

BelleDameSansMerci · 13/02/2010 07:51

Never - my cleaning lady does it every week. If she doesn't come, it doesn't get done . Is only DD (2.5) and me thought so no hairy man bristles around!

PuppyMonkey · 13/02/2010 07:55

Once a week on Monday. Do toilets again in between though...

NoahAndTheWhale · 13/02/2010 08:00

Not often enough.

fairybubbles · 13/02/2010 08:47

A "proper clean" once a week, that includes floor, tiles, window, windowsill. Wiped over every day tho, so toilet, sink & taps and bath cleaned more often. Hand towel changed every day. The daily stuff I tend to do when DS in his bath. It only takes a minute.

threetimemummy · 13/02/2010 08:49

I have a spray bottle of disinfectant that takes literally a few minutes to do sinks, toilets, benches etc So i do it every day.with two boy toddlers int he house who have dodgy aim..well, it needs it!!! For the same reason I do he floor each night as well!!

deaddei · 13/02/2010 09:57

Once a week properly, but toilets daily.

Bodenbabe · 13/02/2010 13:07

Oh dear. I knew I didn't do mine often enough

Good clean once a week and a quick wipe another time mid-way.

I always wanted to be one of these people who cleans their bathroom on a daily basis, but there always seems to be something better to do.

Less than you lot.

DorotheaPlenticlew · 13/02/2010 13:14

Our bathroom and loo are separate.

We do the loo whenever it needs it, every 2 or 3 days probably, but as DS is starting to toilet train soon I will probably be trying to wipe everything down every day; it is a tiny little room, and he doesn't really get that certain bits of the toilet are best not to touch if possible.

Bath: once a week proper scrub, in-between quick maintenance as needed

Shower walls, taps and minging bits in the folds of glass shower screen: whenever I am overcome by shame at the state of 'em

Bodenbabe · 13/02/2010 18:12

domesticslattern, let's sit over here in a corner for slobs

Once a week.

lovechoc · 13/02/2010 18:35

once a week, sometimes once a fortnight. If I had more time on my hands then it would get cleaned more often. Once DS is in nursery then I'll get more stuff done around the house....

bebesequin · 13/02/2010 19:55

Daily -two bathrooms-work F/t -DH actally does make a better job than me-he often works from home and will do it for me

SingleMum01 · 13/02/2010 20:13

once a week, maybe twice if its looking like it could do with it.

ChasingSquirrels · 13/02/2010 20:19

Never (but the cleaner does them once a week).
Used to be a lot less before I had a cleaner.
I wipe the shower down with a squeegee after every use and dry off the shower taps with a miccrofibre cloth. We have very hard water and the minute it takes is definitely worthwhile.
I can't remember the last time the bath got cleaner, although the boys seem to enjoy cleaning the tiles when they have a bath.

IckleJess · 13/02/2010 20:23

Deep clean weekly, we have 2 large bathrooms plus 2 shower rooms so to do them more often would probably kill me!

Showers get sprayed with shower shine after every use and I'm trying to train the kids to wipe their sinks out every day too but not overly successful at the moment.

whoopstheregoesmymerkin · 13/02/2010 22:28

Is Grandma coming?
Yes how did you know that?
You are cleaning the bathroom

I have an observant 4yo. fyi Grandma comes about every 6 weeks.

I do wipe the loo a bit more frequently though .

Bodenbabe · 14/02/2010 09:08

ROFL, whoops - that's fantastic!

SofaQueen · 14/02/2010 09:16

Cleaner does a full scrub twice a week. Should probably be done everyday though.

MrsSaxon · 14/02/2010 20:51

Every day, and wipe down after each use.

Takes 5 minutes a day total, and is alllll shiny!

sunburntats · 14/02/2010 20:54

once a week, good clean, but every other day jsut a spray n wipe over.
