[quote=Anonymous]I love you OP -- I usually hate cleaning thread on this site because most posters are like "oh I never scrub my toilet" because their maid does it.

Anyway, this is for a 1200 sq ft row house with 2 adults, one elementary age child, and one cat:

Floors: Vacuumed twice weekly (more if it needs it), mopped weekly using Bona spray mop, deep cleaned like every other year. We are a no shoes household and cat is an indoor cat.
Bathrooms: Weekly, sometimes I do a quick midweek clean of the toilets as well.
Really scrub shower/tubs: Monthly
Change bed sheets: Weekly
Dust: Weekly
Inside of oven/microwave: Oven twice a year, microwave on an as-needed basis, probably once every couple weeks
Windows: Yearly, sometimes I get ambitious and do it twice a year but not often
Mirrors: Weekly
Stairways: Same as floors
Empty out and scrub fridge: Twice yearly
Garage floors: No garage
Baseboards: Monthly-ish. Really what happens is that I ignore them until we are hosting people, and then suddenly I'll realize the baseboards are dusty and I will incorporate them into my pre-hosting vacuum.
Fans/blinds/light fixtures: Ugh, I'm the worst at this. Light fixtures in the kitchen get cleaned every few months and I pay attention to how dirty they are. Ceiling fans in bedrooms I probably remember once every three months. But a lot of light fixtures in the house go years and then I'll think "Huh I wonder how bad it is" and friends, it's usually pretty bad. Oops.
