What’s maintenance to you and what’s a deep clean?
How often do you clean the floors/clean your bathroom/kitchen etc?
for me daily (or at least every other day) its sweeping the floors, doing the dishes and taking out the trash.
bathroom…twice a month (except for the sink which is every 2-3 days)
I wish I could be more diligent in cleaning the stove :hinna:
Re: Your cleaning routine
Daily: Dishes, cleaning the kitchen after use (that includes wiping down the cupboard doors, backsplash and cleaning the kitchen sink all with anti-bacterial spray). The sink in the bathroom and the bathtub and tiles are wiped down after each use. Floors are swept as required, probably 2-3 times a week. Rubbish is also taken out 2-3 times a week.
Weekly: Vacuum/sweep the whole house, mop and dust each room, clean the cooker top, properly clean the bathroom with a detergent. Laundry, polish all mirrors/glass doors on wardrobe, empty bins in other rooms. Properly clean kitchen with a stronger detergent, wipe down fridge and freezer, re-organise and clean fridge.
Fortnightly: Change the bed sheets.
Deep clean (ideally monthly but usually bi-monthly): Oven and extractor hood. Steam clean floors and walls, re-wax leather sofas, clean behind sofas, underneath rugs any other diffucult to reach noon and cranny.
I also regularly re-organise cupboards and wordrobes throughout the house, I probably do a different one each week.
Windows are cleaned ocne every 3 months or so.

Cleaning?
Re: Your cleaning routine
I should point out that I don't do all the cleaning, my husband is a clean freak like me. So its a joint effort.
Re: Your cleaning routine
Tiger too late a confession :hinna: … I felt so guilty after reading your post , that I went downstairs , cleaned the kitchen top to bottom, and the dining area and the washrooms and mopped em all with a passion :hinna:
If you had made this confession earlier , I would have waited until hubby returns from work and gotten him to do the bathrooms after iftar 
Re: Your cleaning routine
I should point out that I dont do any cleaning, my wife is a clean freak unlike me, so its a disjoint effort :)
Re: Your cleaning routine
Decent, you do your part ,I am sure. Who else will your hold responsible for the “kachra machao mission” 
Re: Your cleaning routine
whenever she is really fed-up of all my mess, she just say one sentence
“pata nahi main aap k saath keyun reh rahi hoon”
and I am like “because you love me”
and she goes “iss khush fehmi main na rahna” 
Re: Your cleaning routine
Deep clean? umm… when we have an upcoming daawat 
Maintenance once a week, on weekends 
I’m not lazy, I just don’t have the time… since I work full-time five days a week, and on weekdays there’s too much to do… I prefer giving the rest of my day to daughter and hubby, instead of the house. MY husband doesn’t care much either, so we are relaxed about it all. Especially ever since I got pregnant :).
On weekends, I’ll sweep, mop and vacuum, etc. Sometimes I just sweep and mop/vacuum only once in 2 weeks, we don’t have much carpet anyways. Kitchen and bathroom sinks wipe-down occurs more often though, I try to do it with daily use, so my stove and sinks stay cleaner than the rest of the house 
Re: Your cleaning routine
Ok , more blame to put on Tiger ..
Finished doing the laundry and mopping the floors in all the rooms

Re: Your cleaning routine

Re: Your cleaning routine

Re: Your cleaning routine
Cleaning your bathroom twice a month? That's just disgusting.
Re: Your cleaning routine
Its okay, you don’t have to use it
Like I said, sink/floors, almost daily.
tub is cleaned everytime we shower.

Maybe it just doesn't get that dirty to have to clean it more often.
Everyone behaves in different ways and that affects how often something needs to be cleaned.
Re: Your cleaning routine
*Normal routine cleaning should be done daily and off course deep cleaning atleast once a month and especially if you have small kids. *
Re: Your cleaning routine
Oops sorry CB! We both work full time, so have to pitch in and are both equally OCD about it. But at least you know for next time - get him to do it :D
Re: Your cleaning routine
I don't leave the house in the morning until all my dishes are done in the sink and I have cleaned the stove.. I love cleaning kitchen and no I don't like cooking,, so sad :-(
Weekly: vaccuum, bleach cleaning of bathroom, kitchen, and floors, change bed spreads, and lysol our place!
Laundry.. every two weeks or whenever husband feels like doing it!!
I organize my kitchen cabinets or closets like once a year :D
Re: Your cleaning routine
Jeepers creepers, I think I should start helping with the cleaning in the house..
Gemini, it’s the opposite for me. I love baking and stuff, but my moms always telling me off for leaving the oven in a state afterwards
