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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Pretty much only when family is going to be over. Otherwise the mess is what it is.
-
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.
-
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)
-
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).
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...
-
Ummm, every chance I get! I'm a neat freak!
-
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.
-
All the time, mostly after dinner and before bed during the week.
My house is pretty neat, though. We are all neat freaks.
-
Always before people come over (which includes the cleaning lady) or when DS makes such a big mess, I can't stand it.
-
I usually do it when DD is napping. We have a 1x a mo Housecleaner- I organize before she comes.
-
On Fridays. That's my day off.
-
I'm super OCD about the house, so I tidy up in the morning before I leave for work, mainly just unloading dishwasher, making the bed, etc.
I tidy up again after dinner, mainly dining room and kitchen. I tidy up before bed, usually living room where DD/DH are.
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!
