[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I do:

Kitchen: clean up well every night (this is key)- older kids should be helping, mop on weekends (spot clean in between if needed). I clean out fridge the night before trash day. Heavy cleaning as needed- there isn’t much if you clean well every night and keep up on things.

Bathrooms: clean and mop every weekend, keep Clorox wipes and windex/paper towels under sink in each bathroom. Spot clean as necessary and as you see things - just takes a moment.

Laundry: sheets and towels on the weekend, clothing on weeknights. I need to do nearly a load per day but have 3 DC. Kids put away own laundry and strip sheets/remake their beds.

Vacuuming and dusting/wiping things down: every weekend. Adult vacuums, kids dust and wipe things down.

Bedrooms: kids clean their own on weekends[/quote]

This is what I do too, it just naturally morped this way. I will never know if I'm doing too much, it's all I know. [/quote]

Similar but I do sheets & upstairs bathrooms every other week. One weekend I’ll wash the kids sheets and bathroom and the next week I’ll do the master sheets and bathroom. This is plenty for us. Same with dusting - main floor one weekend, upstairs the next weekend. Most people who have cleaners have them come e/o week. [/quote]
