We vacuum and steam our wood floors once a week.
I vacuum the carpet about once a week too.
I would probably do it every day (or every other) if the noise didn't scare my LO.

We have a cleaning lady that does it every other week. They stay surprisingly clean considering we have a dog that sheds.

We only do the floors (sweep, vacuum, wet swiffer) once a week unless we have guests mid-week. Really, we only clean the house once a week. We do it together and it takes no more than an hour and a half to deep clean everything.

Once a week. But by day 4-5 the dog hair starts to pile up in the corners. Gross!

I have a dry mop that I try to use every 1-2 days to move the dog hair into one spot (in dining and kitchen). The living room has a rug, so I can vac that every couple days. My dog sheds horrible, I wish I had time to do it more often.
Upstairs is a PITA! I hate lugging the vac up and down, so I use the dirt buster in the hall and bathroom, but I'll admit to not vacuuming the bedroom as much as I should.

My husband does it about every other week. I HATE, absolutely despise vacuuming!!
Probably because when I was growing up, my weekly chore was to vacuum the house. And our homes got progressively bigger... from a 2,000 sq ft house, up to 3,000 sq ft. And then eventually 4,000 sq ft by the time I was in high school!!! It took forever...
I should mention that our current condo is only 1,300 sq ft, so it is considerably more manageable for my husband, haha.

Man.... I am SO jealous hearing about all of your cleaning ladies!!! DH says if my next job after we move gets me a decent raise, we can have a cleaning lady... *sigh* That will be the best day of my life.
Right now, we probably vacuum every other week downstairs where we eat and walk around a lot. Upstairs (two bedrooms and a little hallway), we're doing good if we vacuum every six weeks... it's usually longer than that! We don't spend much time up there, and especially not in shoes.

With all our pets I have to do the wood floors every other day. Vacuum about every 3 days. Which seems not enough to me with all our furbabies and fosters.

I try to go around at least once a week with the vacuum. But have found that turning on the Roomba a few times mid-week helps cut down on the furbaby tumble-weeds. DH taught the pup to turn it on which makes it even easier!

Once a week but since I've gotten pregnant and we have a puppy, it is less. I'm beyond exhausted and it's hard because the vacuum scares our little pup so much.

I would like to say once a week, but I'm too lazy and my steam mop broke! So it's more like once every other week now.

oh my goodness, once a week all around...?!? We have two small shedding dogs but we vacuumed maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks at the most... and mopped the hardwood floors even less often. Now that I'm back to work we just hired a cleaning service that will come every 4 weeks to do everything but the bedrooms. Maybe we are living in filth.... hehe. It just doesn't seem that dirty to us. But we also never wear shoes in the house, so maybe that helps?

I'm in the 'not often enough' boat. Which reminds me, I need to get a vacuum belt since ours broke.
I am jealous of all of you with cleaning ladies.

We do it 2-3 times a week. At least that often in the high traffic areas. We have 2 dogs so if I do it any less I feel like the house is dirty.

Not often enough since I got pregnant- used to be once a week to sweep and vacuume, now its about every 3-4 weeks, not great for my husband's allergies with 3 cats and a dog. Fortunately we have a lot of tile floors, so I go on dust bunny massacre on a daily basis, picking them up when I see them.
