Hi Everyone:

How often do you clean?

Every day?
Once a week?
NEVER (lol)...

Me, I am very LAZY at age 52 and thank goodness it is just my boyfriend and myself. I now find myself cleaning as I go to save having my precious time tied up with those MAJOR cleaning activities.

Now your turn

We clean everyday - basic cleaning. Then we do more deep cleaning once a week.

Cleaning as you go is the BEST way to clean.

Hi Tammy:

You remind me of my mom and I guess I made a promise to myself not to duplicate her when I grew up

But I do love visiting homes where folks do an awesome job of cleaning. Thank goodness it is just the 2 dogs and my boyfriend as I just don't have the energy at age 52 to be doing any MAJOR cleaning.

Thanks for sharing!

By cleaning everyday - it only takes about 15 minutes. Our once a week is broken into certain days we do certain things - but, because we have done everything everyday nothing takes longer than 5 minutes more. As I said, cleaning as you go is the best way because then you never have "MAJOR" cleaning.

You are so right

I tend to get so wrapped up in work that I just sit at my computer all day long until I go to sleep. So I never think about cleaning or doing anything else around the house.

I need to take more breaks to do little tasks to keep things caught up. I keep saying I'll do that when I get caught up on work but that never happens Every time I think I'm getting close, something new occurs to dump a giant pile of work into my lap!

Still at least I took time today to clean off my desk. That makes me feel more content!

Hi Lisa, when we get BUSY - cleaning sometimes get put on the back burner. Thanks for sharing with us

My desk is a mess again. It is a bit frustrating that I work to clean things and they just get messy again. There must be a way to KEEP it clean!! I work hard on decluttering so it's amazing how I used to have even more junk in here. I suppose I should count my blessings that things are "better".

OK today will be clean-the-desk-again day once I get caught up on some more work.

I've always been one that loves a clean and orderly house. I pick up as I go, and wash what we dirtied during the evening before we go to bed. Then I dust,mop,vacumn,clean bathrooms, and change bedding every week. It really helps to clean as you go. It really cuts the time when the cleaning day comes.

You are so right - doing easy maintenance is better than tackling huge projects.

My desk is sort of messy again but not as bad as before So I just need to take five minutes and clear it out, because that makes the whole day go much more smoothly.

Not nearly enough!! My excuse used to be "the job," but not that I'm at home, the excuse is ah... "momentum." But I am trying; just a few minutes every day here and there.

I clean every week. and I do a main cleaning, because I live on very busy street and the whole dirt comes in my home. You can't imagine how dirty is at the end of the week.
