[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never had a cleaner. I make a list of all cleaning tasks, figure out the frequency they need to be done (bathrooms cleaned once a week, sink scoured daily, stove scoured weekly, vacuum all floors twice a week, mopping once a week, clean out fridge every three months, etc.) and then make a schedule.

My non-deep-cleaning schedule looks like this:

Monday -- strip beds and wash sheets (remake beds), scour sink and stove top, wipe down kitchen and bathroom counters and cabinets

Tuesday -- two loads clothes laundry (folded and put away), scour sink and wipe down kitchen counters, vacuum entire house, light dusting

Wednesday -- wash all towels (folded and put away), scour sink and wipe down kitchen counters, non-kitchen trash collection (bathrooms, office, bedrooms)

Thursday -- one load of laundry (folded and put away), scour sink and wipe down kitchen counters

Friday -- clean bathrooms including showers, sinks, and floors

Saturday - vacuum and mop whole house, sort mail and any boxes or other items that have accumulate over the week, treat wood surfaces (dining table, coffee table, media center)

Sunday -- clean out fridge and pantry (tossing old food, organize items, wipe down any surfaces that need it). Two loads laundry (folded and put away).

Dishes get done daily on an as-needed basis, that is mostly my DH's job since he also does most cooking.[/quote]

I meant to note that DH and I both work, often from home. Most of this is done early in the day or during the pre-dinner hour, on weekends I try to get everything done in the morning so I can relax in the afternoon, whereas DH will relax in the morning and then do groceries/meal prep stuff later in the day.
