How often do you clean your bathroom?

And your kitchen and your floors? I used to wait two weeks sometimes or three for the bathroom. Since having my baby, cleanliness seems a little more important and a lot harder to achieve - between migraines and tiredness and a wonderful but high need baby who wants me near by at all times. (hubby with him now) I worked a solution, on a daily basis I do one small thing - like dishes - then spend time with the baby, then the counters - then the baby - floors then the baby. I break up everything. And since I'm very unorganized I have to have a system - a place for everything so the house doesn't look like a cyclone hit it. It seems to work - except for colic or teething times.
What about you - how often do you clean your bathroom - why so often or so long?

I always make sure I clean my bathroom once a week. Because that is were the germs live. Even if I dont clean my house every week I make sure to do my bathroom. I mean come on its not that hard to clean a toliet and a sink. I sometimes let the tub go for every other week. I think the floors should be done every week thou.

I clean my floor with wipes a few times a week in additon to the real cleaning on Saturday or Sunday. My baby crawls in a little every so often.

No more cleaning on Saturday or Sunday - wow must have written this months ago - things have changed - I do my best to do it during the week and try to take weekends off.

My baby/toddler doesn't it use it yet - except to practice with his potty but he touches everything nonetheless when I'm in there. I'm trying to wean him from having to be whereever I am!

As often as I use it! I love a clean and fresh house, and to suit myself, I always clean as I go along.

I clean my whole house once a week. I usually do it on Saturdays or Sundays. I just finished cleaning and got on here actually. I do pick up during the week also and do dishes and laundry and stuff like that. I take care of children in my home so I can't really clean while they are here because they will mess it right back up. So that's why I do it on the weekends.

My toddler is always here! My family lives far as does my husband's. I try to clean as I go along in the week because I like to take weekends off too. I spread things out, bathroom one day, floor another, microwave and major appliances another day. And everyday of course, the laundry, and a million messes from our toddler. It seems like as I'm cleaning one, he's making another! I still have to keep wiping down things in the bathroom and doing dishes but otherwise, I don't do as much. I even let my little guy do his worst and then have a huge tornado like mess to clean up Sunday night!

I'm lucky if I get the house cleaned at all during the week. I'm so busy with work and whatnot. I do try and clean one room in it's entirety once a week. However, then I have to go do other things, and it gets messy. It's a never ending cycle.

I clean the floors twice a week, mopping anyway. But I clean the bathroom and the kitchen everyday. See I have a daily routine of going over the entire house daily. It really doesn't take me long, maybe the whole house in just two hours at most. I do this cause the house stays clean and it doesn't take much to keep it that way. I use to do house work every other day and then I realized it took me twice as long to get the same tasks finished. That and well there would be times company would come over and I would feel embarrased if I had not cleaned that day. So now I do it every day.

I clean my bathroom once a week. I make it a routine to clean it on a Saturday morning or a Friday morning. When washing the bathroom regularly, the energy used to cleaning up the floor and to remove the dirtiness is less. So I don't have to put much effort in cleaning. If I forgot to do it and postpone it for another week, the stain get thicker and that's when more energy is used to clean up.

We use to clean our floors everyday and the bathroom ones a week. Especially there is a child in our house. We keep our surroundings clean. But you're right there are times we don't have time to clean the whole place.

I usually clean my bathroom at least once a week and sometimes twice. Whether it needs it or not. I'm basically the only one who uses it since I live alone so it never gets very bad.

What a very timely question! I usually clean my bathroom every two weeks. I was supposed to clean my bathroom this afternoon while I was doing the laundry, wiping the floors, cleaning the bedrooms, doing the dishes and taking out the trash. Multi-tasking to the max! I wonder if I'll still be this active when I already have my own baby (that's if God has planned it for me to get married have my own family!)
Sadly, my back got the better of me, I didn't have any energy left to clean the bathroom (but just enough energy to do myLot!). I'll deal with it first thing tomorrow. Haha, it's already "tomorrow" as I'm writing this.
My bedroom looks like it's been hit by a tsunami every morning after all my sisters have gone out to work/school and I usually start fixing it by making the beds. Start with the biggies then deal with the details later. Perhaps that's a system you can try. ;')

i clean the bathroom every day. the kitchen is a little harder for me. its huge. i dont do the floors every day. when my daughter was still a baby, i couldnt manage. everything piled up. lately i have become obsessed with cleaning. staying busy and seeing my house clean, helps a lot to keep my depression under control. i need to take up a hobby again. i am scaring myself.

Hello artemis432,
I clean the bathroom once a week, but sweep more often since that is where the kitty littler box is. The kitchen gets it three times a week because it is the center of where food is prepared and things get spilled. Of course in between times if something gets spilled I clean it up. And the counters and dishes get done daily.
Why so often? Well I guess it could go back to my child hood, my Mom never cleaned to where just walking on the floor produced black bottom feet. I found it disgusting and said I would never allow my home to be that dirty..

I clean my bathroom (scrubbing and all) one a week. But I give it a quick cleaning everyday. Quick cleaning for me is picking up (with gloves of course) visible dirt and throw them in the bin and spraying the toilet with part chlorine part water solution.
I do general cleaning in the kitchen every week and just do regular after care everyday.
