How often do you clean your house?

i also have 3 small kids in the house and they are really messy and i get tired following cleaning all their mess!sometimes my mother will ask me to clean their room because my 2 children made so much mess and things lying around....i clean our room like twice a day...sometimes i dont clean it...its no use..i get tired...sometimes i ask my husband to clean our room...and i bathe my babies twice a day..they are so dirty.

Cleaning in our house is a never ending battle. I too have 3 kids all are under the age of 3. So messes happen all the time and I am constantly moping or sweeping the floors or wiping off the tables or the counter or anyplace else that they decide to make a mess. As for general house keeping like dusting and scrubbing the bathrooms and such I do it about 2 times per week. Things like dishes, laundry and sweeping I do at least once if not more per day.

I'm not totally obsessive compulsive about cleaning my house, I work from home running my own business, and I have three kids also, and babysit two more on a daily basis. There's way more important things to do. Oh and don't forget the dog who sheds huge hair puppies all over the floor! One thing I can not stand though, as I like to walk in bare feet, is walking across my hardwood floors and getting sand and dirt on them. I have to at least either sweet two or three times a day, or vacuum once in the morning and sweep in the evening (my personal preference).

my wife cleans our house three times a week and sometimes if i'm home i do the cleaning.It's nice to see if the house is clean.

I am not very compulsive over cleaning the house daily. But i do it as per my schedule permits me, but atleast i make sure that the brooming happens twice a week and if time permits then may wipe as well :-). I am very particular about things to be kept at their meant places and not lying around at any place, so that way it avoids being messy around. I remember the saying in my childhood days - "Cleanliness is next to godliness", but that all gets manipulated when you start working and you get tied upto time badly.

I have two daughters and also work from home. I also homeschool so we're pretty busy around here. I try to clean once a week but I do floors more often and I wipe down the kitchen daily. My sister-in-law once told me a clean house meant you weren't spending quality fun time with your kids. Kids grow up so fast and a house is just a house. Enjoy the kids first, house second.

since we don't have kids at home, I clean our house every Saturday. that would be our general cleaning.

hi dear it has to be done daily in this part of the world. lot of dust enters the house and it requires wiping it daily!!

nice question pehpot me very often because i really like my house to be super clean . I dont want things scattered all around or thing misplace. Everyday we scrub the floor and the comfort room . The beddings are being replace every week and the bedroom is kept clean everyday. My hubby also likes it to be clean so i guess we all do the same to maintain it.

A word of advice from an OLD mother. I have 3 children who are all grown and married with families of their own. To me, they have been the single most important accomplishment in my life. But there are some things I would change if I could go back and do it again. My mother and my motherinlaw were compulsive cleaners...having a clean house came before everything for them. So, I tried to do the same. With children it is impossible to keep it spotless, but I tried like crazy. I wish now though, that I had worried less about the house and spent more quality time with my babies. I have a good relationship with all of them, but oh how I wish for the days when they were kids again! I MISS them so much! My advice to young mothers is: As long as your bathroom is clean and your kitchen is clean...spend the rest of your time on what is REALLY important....those precious babies. THEY will be grown and gone before you know what hit you....and THEN you can worry about keeping the house spotless.

Welcome to the world of OC moms and cleaners. I vacuum the floor of the entire house, twice a day. I wipe furnitures, appliances, all the time (even during cold season when there's practically no dust around) and i always disinfect. I clean the bathroom and keep it dry, everyday. And i clean the kitchen (floor, sink, cupboards, et al) after every time i finish cooking. It is so physically exhausting, especially when i had to multi task along with taking care of my two litte boys. But it is all the more stressful for me when my surrounding is messy. I also have to organize every single thing in the house. I know that dirt don't kill and that my kids need my time more than these "things" do, but i just could not help myself. I just love to clean. Or maybe, i need to.

well i am a stay at home mom with a 4 year old and 18 month old and it seems like i clean from the time i wake up til i go to bed and it still isn't good enough to me. i don't worry about there rooms as much i clean and disinfect them 1-2 times a week but the rest of the house i am constantly sweeping,vacumming, and picking up toys.the job is never done

I have been a mommy for 17 years and I can tell you that my standards of "clean" have changed quite a bit since I first started out. Now, with a total of 3 kids (ages ranging from 6, 13 and 17), keeping my house spotless is just not an option anymore. I don't know if it's because I've gotten older or I finally realized that it's not the most important thing in the world. Everything will wait around for you to clean it.....it's not going anywhere! Trust me! It's all about priorities and what is really important for the day. My firstborn (bless his heart) is such a pleaser. Even at 17 years old. I can remember how maticulous I used to be with our house. He was expected to do way more than any child should have to do at such a young age. I would get so upset if anything was out of place. It completely took over me. I now know that I suffered from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and now take meds to control that as well as my anxiety. What a help that has been for me for the past 12 years! Having a clean house was the only way I could control my surroundings. If my house was a mess, nothing else mattered. That wasn't a good choice and I only wish I could have gotten help much sooner. Now, I keep a CLEAN house. If you came over you might not think so, but just as long as things are picked up, we have clean baths and kitchen and everything smells good (thanks GLADE! :), I feel like I am good to go! It's great to know that I'm still taking care of our home, but not stressing everyone (including the cats) completely out! Pick up and clean when really needed, but more than that, enjoy your little ones. While a dirty house will "always be there", your precious kids will not. They grow up so fast!
