cleaning Routine?

I usually put a load of clothes in the washer. While they are washing then I wash the dishes. After they are done washing I usually put them clothes in the dryer. Then I sweep and mop if the floor needs it and I plan on doing it. While the clothes are drying I will clean some more, waiting for the clothes to dry.
Everyday that I clean it is different. It depends on how much and what I plan on cleaning. Clothes and dishes are the first things that I clean. The clothes and dishes are a never ending battle. Once I get the clothes caught up, within a couple of days they hamper is full again. Everyday the dishes pile up in the sink.
I will sometimes put music on the radio but other times I want to relax and hear nothing but quiet. Since my place can get pretty loud I enjoy the quietness. Although sometimes I get lazy and the music helps me going. Another thing that I occasionally do is drink some coffee before a long day of cleaning.
What is your cleaning routine?

I just cleaned and organized my drawers the other day. I hate not being organized, so I like to organize things. I also wanted to organize my drawers before I went back to school so that way it will be easier for me to sit at my desk and do my work. It actually didn't take me long to organize and clean out my drawers. Plus I got rid of a lot of trash out of my drawers.

I try to purge and organize in the spring and the fall and the spring. Just so that our house doesn't get cluttered. I watch hoarders and get scared. That show is probably a huge inspiration for people to keep their houses clean and for people to chuck stuff out. I like having a clutter free house. We have a house that looks lived in but it is neat and clean and I try to keep it organized.

I like to clean up when it is quite also. I usually clean when I am alone in the house. Although I like to relax when I am alone also so it depends on my mood. I usually clean the most on Mondays. One day is not enough to keep the house clean though. I don't like cleaning when there are other people in the house because of the noise and people bothering me. They also tend to turn my music down or off if I am listening to any. I also just like the feeling of no one around while I am cleaning.

I usually wash clothes on Wednesday and finish them up on Thursday. We have so much laundry every week. I usually do all the dishes after dinner, and then I do a small bit of dishes after lunch, just to wash up the breakfast and lunch dishes. All other housework I usually save till about an hour before my husband comes home then I straighten up and sweep or vacuum or what ever needs done. I work from home during the day so I try to spend most of that time working. But I save that one hour every day for cleaning and straightening. I usually clean the bathrooms on Fridays. I do the laundry in between work projects.

At least you have a routine. I like to clean in the morning and get it over and done with. I am also in a better mood in the morning plus I have more energy in the morning. I usually clean the most on Mondays. Mondays are kind of my "cleaning" day. Then throughout the week I will just straighten up and clean up a bit. I usually have one other day that I will clean quite a bit but that is whatever day I want to and have the time.
