I vacuum before dusting because I feel that while the vacuum sucks up dirt off the floor, it also makes dust on the furniture. Then I dust. THEN mop, cuz I figure it picks up any dust that might come off the furniture (though I use a rag and it's not like I push the dust to the floor). I consider the bathroom floor it's own thing, I clean it on hands and knees with a towel (not big bathrooms) after I've done the tub, toilet and sink. | |

You're supposed to clean a house?
Shut UP! I knew I forgot something. Actually the cleanest room in the house is the kid's lol. My room is a hot cluttered mess. And grandma is a packrat. Every so often I vaccuum and dust the rest of the house. Like at Christmas. Before company comes over. | |

THANK GAWD we only have carpet in the den here (which I can't wait to rip out if we end up purchasing this home). It's mostly just there and odds and ends (or mid week touch ups) that the vacuum gets used these days. With the dogs I SO much prefer no carpets. | |

Thats funny cuz i do it the other way around...first i dust cuz anything i wipe off may fall to the floor, then i vaccuumm! I get on my hands and knees to do the bathrooms as well... and i use bleach water.. Cuz u never know who dribbled! I use a swiffer dry, then follwed by a swiffer wet to mop the kitchen... I do linens and all the major cleaning on Sunday...Dont know why but it has always been like that? I vacuumm every other day or more if i feel it needs it... i usually do a load of laundry or two everyday and wipe the bathroom down with the clorox wet wipes every other day until its time to scrub them on sundays... And the number one most important things to have when cleaning is MUSIC! and LOUD! ~~~~~ Oh that voice...incredible....there should be a musical instrument called George Michael... ~~~~~ | |

Organizing: some areas are always kept in order - bedroom, kitchen, living room - everything is in place & orderly. I allow myself to clutter the dining room & closet during the week, & reorganize on the weekend.
Cleaning: I surface-clean the bathroom & kitchen throughout the week, & do the major stuff on the weekend (mop/sweep floors, scrub the tub, etc) but I'll slide on vacuuming/dusting in a heartbeat if no one's coming over I think my least favorite thing is cleaning the bathtub/shower. I'd give anything to get rid of my shower doors, they make it really annoying | |

CarrieMpls said: connorhawke said: Wow boy am I shit at this!!!
I decided to take the advice of cleaning one room at a time. I hung up and put away all the newly clean clothes and then decided to strip the bed and put on a load of washing. So while I'm in the garage putting on the load I noticed the shoerack I started staining a few weeks ago....half-stained. So I stained the rest of it...then saw the pile of books in the garage that I meant to put away last week. I brought them up to the study and put them on the desk, noticed the cd's that I'd ripped yesterday, put them down in the living room, saw the plants outside needed watering...watered them, picked up some other random crap and brought it back to the study...sat down and started posting. Completely forgetting about the rest of the bedroom That's exACTly how it works for me. I start something and then something else and then something else and then something else and nothing really ever gets finished. Do either of you have ADHD or ADD? I am absolutely not kidding here. One of the signs that I may have ADD is that I can not keep a home clean for the life of me because I am so easily distracted. I either have a neat house of a filthy piggy one. My biggest nightmare is a kitchen table covered with things that each belong in a different room and a different place. If only you knew how TRULY nightmarish this subject is for me you'd freak out. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

i suck everything into my dyson about once a week. i dont wear shoes in my house and i try to keep the air off as much as possible, that cuts down on the cleaning. i do dishes when they need done. if , a big if i cook then dishes get washed right away. if i use a cup, a plate at night, i might wait 2 or three days until i get enough worth washing. but i do rinse them off and just set them aside. if something gets nasty i just clean it.

I think there's a bit of that, but really I think I might just be lazy too. I finished one room!!! It's been what....four days? Do I get some sort of trophy. What's even worse is sometimes my idea of "cleaning" a room is to buy things I think will improve it....like today on the way home I bought one of those hanging shelf thingos to put in my wardrobe for my T-shirts. They already had a perfectly good drawer.....
