cleaning: are you random or do you have a routine ?

Well I have quite a routine! I wake up and get myself ready, I then go and wake up my youngest daughter and feed her, I then clean my living room when she has gone back to sleep. I then go and wake up my oldest daughter, bath her and put a nappy on and then feed her. I then get her dressed by this time she mnormally wants a nap so I take this oppourtunity to come on myLot until my youngest daughter wakes up for her next feed. I then go and bath her then feed her and she is then asleep for another 4 hours while my oldest daughter will now have about another hour in her cot. I take this time to clean my kitchen and bathroom. I then get my oldest daughter and feed her again then we clean her room together then when my youngest wakes up again she gets fed then I wait for my partner to get home so I can clean our room without disturbing my youngest daughter then its bath time again for us all. That is my full routine. I had to tell you it all because then I would remember it all. I do try and get out during the day too and if I do that then we go after my oldest daughters nap which means her room gets neglected for a few hours but it is always tidied as I cannot stand mess!

Hi Sissygrl, did I mention I loathe and detest cleaning but can't afford to employ a woman that does, as we used to say. I'm most definitely the put off then blitz type but by zest of a good de cluttering job it's easier to keep on top of it all. I haven't got a carpet to my name so it's all brush, mop and go out here (it's tiled throughtout by the way). It's all so pointless though as it just gets dirty again. So what DO I hate the most. Well it was a one month wonder which hopefully won't reappear next spring but we went through a month of bee poo, yes, that's right, all over the balconies, little reddy brown spots which refused to be mopped up and had to be hand scrubbed on hands and knees in hot temps. Only to be back again half an hour later. Now that really was a pointless task.

Hmmm, my style is to do whatever needs to be done when it needs to be done. Other than that, I have no "routine". I'm pretty good at dusting, though, because my youngest son had 13 allergies, including dust and dust mites, so I learned to stay on top of the dusting. The chore I hate the most, I think, is cleaning the oven. I don't like using chemicals so I refuse to get that Oven Off stuff. That means, obviously, that I have some scrubbing to do. It's not the scrubbing itself that I hate so much, though. It's the getting down and leaning into the oven that I hate. I have a bad back and it loves to scream at me when it's not happy and cleaning the oven is definitely something that makes it unhappy!

I am a random person in doing cleaning chores...I always do my cleaning when its getting messy, uncomfortable to me, and the things eat up too much space. I think I hate doing arranging the items the most, as I often waste too much thinking where should I put my books, papers,clothes, speakers and all others thing. Plus it always make me sweaty moving all the things around. ;P

cleaning our apartment really depends on my mood, sometimes even if it's already late, when I'm feeling like it, i would start to clean the room or something. lol. I don't really have a routine, that's why the apartment is always dirty cause nobody wants to clean it and noone is really responsible for cleaning the rooms here.

I'm quite random but I'll always keep my house clean. Everyday I back home from work, if the house is in a mess, I'll do the cleaning first and then do the cooking no matter how hungry I'm. I can't bear living in a messing room. I have a hamster in my room, and luckily he is very neat. lol

I'm random - I just sort of clean whatever I feel like that day. Unfortunately, I keep trying to have a routine so that things that are hidden get cleaned too, but I can never seem to keep to it.

Generally have a routine. I mostly do things on routines.may be sometimes, there are something needed to be cleaned and I do it randomly.

I dont' enjoy cleaning... but is has to be done so I try to do it the best way, the fastest and most non-annoying way I can find! I do find that a little bit of cleaning every day and then one day of "deep" cleaning is a great way to go. After a few days of minor dust and wipe...that last day of "deep" cleaning goes by really fast as there isn't much to clean as in no deep set=in dirt and all. I will wipe down the bathroom counter every other day, the mirror once a week (before the deep cleaning day) and the kitchen...I vaccum the floor every other day, but don't bring out the mop until D-Day. I wipe things down as I use them, and then on D-day... I take off the burners and things on the stove and clean it all. I have also found to keep a cleaning kit in each bathroom instead of one and carry it through the house cuts down on time. Also seems I don't have to buy the stuff so often.. I watch for it on sale, buy two and that lasts me a long time instead of running out using one. The dust.. I give up. I live in a dust bowl....between 2 major interstates on the north and south, complicated by being between a mountain range and an international airport still on the north and south and the east/west is mountains on one side ....Los Angeles on the other so all the smog and air dirt just falls in the "bowl" this area is and I can dust today, but by tomorrow evening, it will look like I haven't dusted in 2 weeks!!!

hi sissygrl well I have it made in the shade and its so boring. I am in a retirement center, have my own room, and the care givers make our beds, change the linen, vacumn the floors, clean and dust , and clean the bathroom, while I sit here mylotting. and you know what its what I might have dreamed of as a young mom with two kids, but now I am elderly I am bored and wou ld love to do some kind of house work. but I do love to mylot so will just keep doing that instead.lol lol

Hey there Siss I am pretty random but I guess that wouldn't surprise you either would it? lol I too hate dusting but my kids will do it sometimes because I have like a dust mit that they like to play with one day they will realise that it is work and give up on doing it!! lol

I guess you could say I'm pretty random. Our house isn't dirty but it's often messy. I will usually decide what to clean first judging by what's messiest. If the living room is the most cluttered then it gets cleaned first, if the bedroom is starting to develop piles of clothes then it gets it first etc. Unless we're having people over and I'm doing a whole-house clean, then it goes kitchen, bathroom, living room and then bedrooms. That way if I run out of time or if the company arrives early the most important rooms are done!

Hi sissygrl! Cleaning is routinary for me, everyday when I arrive from work the first place at home that I go is the kitchen. After preparing food for dinner, I need to clean the utensils and everything in the kitchen. After dinner, I'll put everthing in place from the dining to the bedrooms and bathrooms then sweep the floor all over the house, I'm doing this things until sleeping time comes. Laundry,dusting and general cleaning will be done only during weekends. Good Day!

I am a little of both myself. My goal is to always try and complete one room before I proceed to the next but unfortunately I tend to sometimes get sidetracked when I see something in another room that requires my attention and then I get started in there and have to go back to where I originally started. As a matter of fact I remember tearing the basement bathroom apart and then got online and left it unattended. lol

I have a routine....I start in the living room...then move to the dining room....then the bathroom and finally the kitchen....downstairs that is.....my worst would be scrubbing the shower/bathtub.....I am short and in order to get the higher places I have to stand on the edge of the bathtub.....slippery when wet! LOL

I sweep and mop the entire house every day, but only because I have six dogs. The dusting gets done about once a week, again, because of the dogs. Some days I get all OCD and have to clean everything, immediately, from ceiling fans to wall triglobes from lighting fixtures etc...lol I do wash when I need to, not on any schedule. I mow & maintain our farm while husband works during the day. for the record, I HATE putting laundry away!!!

I usually try to vacuum every other week but sometimes I do not. I also do not like to dust there is just alot of stuff that has to be moved all the knick knack, books, lamps, tapes and much more. When I can not stand looking at the dust anymore I will dust even if I have not vacuum that day.

I'm random, I clean when I think things need cleaning. My life is too hectic to have a proper routine. i try to wash up after each meal but other than that it's pretty much as and when.

I do clean routinely. With that we can avoid unwanted dirt being accumulated.

Yeah for me cleaning is like both as a routine as well as random.Sometime i clean once a day and some time may be once a week and so on..but some peopla might hate to do that too because while cleaning there will be dust all around the places and we have to breath in that same dusty air which is quite bad for our health but nevertheless i use vacuum these days so i clean my room myself...
