I tidy up before bed, usually living room where DD/DH are. </p> <p>This is of course if I have the time! Then I do more intense cleaning on the weekend. It doesn't matter if no one sees the house; I NEED it clean to stay sane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243698 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 09:32:15 +0000 travellingbee 2243698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On Fridays. That's my day off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243652 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:46:24 +0000 youboots 2243652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do it when DD is napping. We have a 1x a mo Housecleaner- I organize before she comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243567 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 07:37:38 +0000 Alivoo01 2243567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always before people come over (which includes the cleaning lady) or when DS makes such a big mess, I can't stand it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243507 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 06:01:21 +0000 looch 2243507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time, mostly after dinner and before bed during the week.</p> <p>My house is pretty neat, though. We are all neat freaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243506 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 05:59:54 +0000 Cherrybee 2243506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do most of those! My main tidy time is just after we've put DD to bed, before we make dinner. If DH is cooking, I will spend that time cleaning but if I'm making dinner it will be a quick tidy round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243487 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 01:39:00 +0000 lamariniere 2243487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm, every chance I get! I'm a neat freak! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243363 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 19:46:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2243363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends but a lot of them. This is mostly true since being an adult, though, not so much a mom. Some are just about being considerate plus making sure I don't forget something (cleaning up the table a little at a restaurant means I catch forgotten bibs or spoons or whatever). </p> <p>Meanwhile my kitchen counter is a total mess right now and I'm not in the mood to tidy it. DH is away tonight so I might just be lazy... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243362 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 19:45:43 +0000 hellobeeboston 2243362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I clicked on a few. But mostly I tidy in the mornings (too tired at night to care) and definitely before anyone comes to the house (friends, family, housekeeper, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243358 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 19:37:47 +0000 lawbee11 2243358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost all of the above. I tidy often because I can't stand toys all over the place. And definitely before I get a car wash, before the housekeeper, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243353 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 19:34:14 +0000 Adira 2243353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much only when family is going to be over. Otherwise the mess is what it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243352 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 19:31:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 2243352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the above - every evening we tidy up before we go to bed. I'm NOT a morning person, so there is noooooo extra time in the morning to be tidying up stuff at home!! Always clean up hotel rooms before maid service, clean up before anyone comes over, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243344 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 19:17:41 +0000 sarac 2243344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just do it through out the day, and before we go anywhere. If my daughter has a few different things out, I'll get her to put one away before she gets a new thing out. And we never leave a mess when we leave the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-up#post-2243296 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 18:28:11 +0000 808love 2243296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since I've become a mom, I'm more aware of tidying before others experience 'my' zone. I'm not talking about a full on clean. Just neaten up the place a bit. </p>
