These days, I only clean the things which I need at the moment to use them…the rest can wait their turn…in terms of the time to use them…

Re: How do you people keep your homes clean????

i clean everything myself .....

i think it's better to work yourself than to keep telling the maids to do it properly..

for this reason i try to be very neat and tidy because i do the cleaning after 3 days or a week.

My household:
Do the dishes
cook and while im cooking vacume my house
thats all and if i see my house is very dirty then i
swab the floor.
And if you dont like to wash dishes why you dont buy a
dishwasher ;)

*i try to help my beloved mam and my sis out when i can, they do the bulk of cleaning in our home well 95% of it infact. i clean the bathroom after having had a shower + wash dishes & hoover sometimes, grab a duster and clean the workstation not much

I have to admit my house is always clean cos of my hubby. He is good at every household chore. He would just do things if they are pending & not wait for me to do them. I am so blessed :) Although his family has this thing about "men should not do ghar ke kaam" but my sweetie is so different. Not a typical desi ;)

I do intensive safai once a week. But some things have to be done everyday, otherwise the pile of mess makes it hard to clean off after.

This is my routine:

Everyday: I clean the dishes, the kitchen counter, kitchen floor and kitchen equipments, that gets dirty and place them in their right place.
I sort out things that need to thrown away, like newspapers and packages and throw them in the trash bag.
I put the dirty cloths in the laundry box.
I clear out things and put things in their place if they are lying around.
Water the plants
Making of the bed.

Every other day:
I clean the refrigature, the bath and toilet.

Once a week::
Now this is mostly saturday or sunday, it takes around 3-4 hours to do these tasks.
Do the weekly laundry, meanwhile clean the balcony, as I have laminate floor, I sweep the floor and mop it, clean the carpet, Everything has to shine, especially the floor.
I do the dusting, cleaning up the furniture with a wet cloth.

Once a month::
Cleaning up of the windows, sorting out the wardrobe and making new arangements and settings of things.

I really need a maid

The main thing is to do things as soon as possible, dont wait and say I’ll do it tomorrow or some other time, as then we get even more lazy as the dirt piles up. I have to have a clean kitchen before I can go to sleep. Sometimes its hard, as I am working full time, but if I dont do it at the end of the day, the kitchen looks so messy the next morning, (khusk atta lying around, dirty dishes ect.. that its unbearable to do something in there till is clean. Nothing beats a clean environment.
