Default Re: How often to you have to clean to keep your house clean?

I dust and vacuum about 2 times a week. Usually wed and sat. We have carpet in bedrooms only.

We have a rug in the living room which gets diry really quick, so sometimes I vacuum it twice a day. Kids are always there. I can't make them eat at the table. So my couches and rug are always dirty, I have to clean it every day. Now they spend more time outside in the sandbox, so I have more laundry, but cleaner living room. I bring them snacks outside, so the house will stay cleaner. The living room, kitchen, bathroom floors get washed about every 2-3 days. I clean my bathroom about 2x a week.

I wash the dishes after every meal, or if I don't have enough time, at least 2x a day. I just can't stand dirty dishes! I don't use dishwasher, I use it as a dishes storage. My kitchen is really small, plus I stockpile, so there is not enough space.

I do my laundry often. Usually as soon as I have at least 2 full loads, I hang it outside. I can fit up to 5 loads there. I like doing laundry.

My house is almost clean, except that it's kind of small and cluttered. My Dh leaves his clothes everywhere, but my 3 y. o. son knows where the diry clothes go. My Dh leaves mess everywhere, but my kids pick up after themselves and put the trush into the garbage. My kids pick up the toys and help me clean. They also help me sort the laundry, espessially my son. He likes to load the washing machine. He likes to sweep too, but I have to redo it after him. I wish he would be older, he could do half of my cleaning.
