So, I am wondering about cleaning. How often do you clean your house, how much do you clean, who does the cleaning, and when (what day of the week) do you clean? I'm curious, and wishing I kept my house cleaner. I'd love suggestions on how to do that. We super-cleaned on Saturday, and I love the feeling of a clean house. We can't spend the entire day cleaning EVERY Saturday, though! Let me know; leave a comment!
This is how I feel sometimes. :)
I clean every day. I don't have a specific laundry day or vacuuming day or bathroom cleaning day. I just assign myself a couple of big things every day. Like, I wake up, look around and decide 2 or 3 things I want to get done that day around the house. Lets see today: 1-2 loads of laundry, clean and all put away/hung up, and the downstairs bathroom needs to get deep cleaned. And there is, of course, the basics that I do every day, like clean up the messes/dishes after meals and just basic pick up of toys and stuff constantly. That way the house stays pretty clean and it doesn't pile up to one huge mess and something I have to do on a Saturday. It gets really overwhelming when that happens. I make the weekends something I look forward to-no work, only play! :) When Joey gets home from work everyday, he makes it a point to do all the dinner dishes after we eat. He is also the one that usually vacuums the stairs and upstairs because I hate carrying the vacuum up there and doing that. And of course he is the mower/edger/handyman/car fixer:) He is a big help to me. So, anyways, that’s what we do over here!
ReplyDeletewhoa that was a long comment!
ReplyDeleteI try to clean something everyday like bathrooms one day and the floors another day. That way I don't feel overwhelmed. It seems like there is always something that has to be cleaned. Jared is a good help on weekends too. It is nice having a husband that helps out around the house.:)
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! I clean.... when we run out of clean dishes (or this last week, when we ran out of plastic spoons as well), when the kitchen floor gets sticky on my bare feet, when things that were once white are yellow, and then laundry is every Sunday at the parents. I'm sure you're doing better than me.
ReplyDeleteLoL, Tanya! That's great. That sounds about like me when Dave and I were first married. Having a dishwasher is HEAVEN! It was kind of a shock to realize that if I didn't do it, then nobody would. I had lived on my own, but for some reason that reality only hit about a year into marriage. :)
