Once a week I vacuum, scrub the whole bathroom, and tidy up the whole house. DS's room gets picked up most nights before bed so we're not tripping over things if we need to get him in the middle of the night. DH or I do dishes daily and wipe counters in the kitchen as we go. DH and I do laundry as needed, as we go. (So a load every other day?) I sweep 3x a week or so, mop as needed.... But that all depends on decent naps during the day, and me not needing that time to study. (I'm a SAHM by day/law student by night). Any other indoor house stuff is done by DH. Deep cleaning I do while on school breaks-- I'll pick some big task to tackle during that week, but that gets squeezed in with house projects (we just bought a house in June, and we have a lot to do still) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420717 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:10:08 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 420717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, it's so hit or miss around here! I do keep up with the kitchen on a daily basis usually during/after dinner and try to do some tidying throughout the day as I see things but everything else is so sporadic. I was just thinking that I miss having a cleaning lady...need to find a new one soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420708 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:05:29 +0000 sandy 420708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to clean during her naps but now she's only taking one nap so I usually shower, eat, and cook during that time and haven't found time to really clean in a while... I put in a load of laundry at night and set the timer so that it's ready for the dryer when I get up... But it's hard to find time to clean my floors, dust or vacuum </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420700 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:59:25 +0000 doodlepoodle 420700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: One of my best friends is that way, and you're right...it DOES seem stressful! She cleans her baseboards twice a month. Know how many times I've cleaned mine? Maybe 3 times. In 5 years. Oops... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420675 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:45:44 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 420675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Don't be. I am SO STRESSED all the time...I seriously can't do *anything* unless the house is clean. It drives DH insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420669 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:44:05 +0000 ladyfingers 420669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: lol awesome. Our redheaded short-haired dog sheds and her hairs are like little needles! Not fun when they get on my shirt and poke my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420667 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:42:59 +0000 doodlepoodle 420667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I totally understand the 2 pets thing! We ended up shaving our yellow lab after J was born because she sheds so bad! Our vet actually said he'd not seen a lab shed that bad haha...lucky us ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420663 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:40:11 +0000 ladyfingers 420663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a mom yet, but I try to clean on Sundays. There's no time after work and I'm too exhausted to try. Sometimes I even skip Sundays but that can get bad with two pets. We'll see how this works once LO is here... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420661 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:38:45 +0000 doodlepoodle 420661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I'm so jealous of your dedication and motivation. *le sigh...... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420658 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:37:52 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 420658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm obsessed with keeping it clean...So, every single morning. But, on the days I know the cleaning lady is coming I won't really clean the day before.<br /> Not everything needs cleaning everyday obviously...but like, I will do something everyday. Monday maybe all the laundry....Tuesday, maybe all the floors and carpets...Just so it never turns into a big mess.<br /> Now that I have LO, I clean at the very beginning of his first nap...Some days not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420657 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:37:19 +0000 doodlepoodle 420657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: Our main floor (kitchen/dining/living rooms) and J's room are usually tidy, our bedroom/office/bathroom? Yeeks. Clothes &amp; shoes are EVERYWHERE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420652 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:35:48 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 420652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: i know! it's exhausting! lil' CB picks up his own toys every night so they're off the floor and i make sure i do the dishes before bed, but other than that.......... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420639 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:33:01 +0000 doodlepoodle 420639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: YES! Even our sweet baby boys are gross. No lie. :P I'm just so tired by the time I get home I want to actually RELAX. </p> <p>DH could care less how the house looks, he hardly notices when I do clean so that makes it hard to care haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420635 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:31:56 +0000 doodlepoodle 420635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: LOL yeah, I was hoping somebody would have that reaction! :) I swear we can deep clean the house one day and it's a disaster and you'd never know the next!! I just don't know how to teach myself to pick up every night so I don't have a disaster...ugh! :P </p> <p>@Leialou: J isn't mobile yet so toys aren't all over the place, I imagine in the next couple of months things will get muuuuch more interesting around here! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420634 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:31:45 +0000 junebugmama 420634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought we didn't have to clean until the babies were a year old, no?</p> <p>I clean when I can. I will get really good for a week or two and then it all falls apart. Living with 3 boys, who are all gross (yes even boy babies are gross lol), does not help. I'm constantly picking up after everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420629 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:30:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 420629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I clean in the afternoons after I get off work and before my DH gets home. I usually take a couple hours out of a weekend morning and do some deep cleaning. I don't have a LO to take care of though so keeping a clean house isn't difficult for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420625 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:27:53 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 420625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>uh. never?</p> <p>;)</p> <p>i try to clean on saturday mornings, but i'm so lazy about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-clean-your-house#post-420611 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:22:13 +0000 doodlepoodle 420611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some weeks I'm really good about keeping up on the house after work, some weeks I'm a total lazy ball of nothing. </p> <p>Do you have a schedule? Is it hit or miss? Are you a SAHM or WOHM? </p> <p>I need to be better...I get so lazy! :P </p>
