[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cleaning// How many minutes or hours per day would let you keep steady state, a mostly clean house?

For me, if I do 15 minutes on dishes every single day, 30 minutes on folding laundry every other day, then I keep the house functional.

What I’m terrible at is staying on top of the house. I’m like 2-4 hours if I feel like it’s getting crazy. And then ignore it otherwise. I want to figure out a steady state… so it isn’t nothing..nothing..nothing..ALL DAY.. nothing.[/quote]

Dishes are super quick and easy, but I avoid dishwashers like the plague. Wouldn't have one for many obvious reasons. 1-2 min per person max to handwash, dry and put away.

Laundry is super fast and easy these days since don't have to hand wash anymore or even go to a laundry mat. Folding and occasional ironing is the hard part now. Figure 20 min per load total time.

Vacuuming/sweeping is tedious and takes about 20-30 min a couple times a week.

Dusting is very time consuming and takes about 2 hours per month. [/quote]

[b]Are you cooking spaghetti with sauce from a jar?[/b] Because our family of four fills two sinks in meal prep cooking and eating. And we try to reuse knives and cutting boards!

Laundry is fine except sorting 1000 kids socks. [/quote]

Why on earth would you need a ton of dishes/knives/cutting boards to make spaghetti sauce? What on earth are you doing?

I cook for my family of 4 daily and use 2 cutting boards, 2 pans, and maybe 2 knives? Maybe 2-3 stirring/straining utensils? How are you filling up 2 entire sinks?

You are misreading that poster. She is saying that, unless one eats something like jarred spaghetti, there will be 2 sinks of dishes. [/quote]

Everyone should wash their own dishes if you trained them properly. Excluding guests of course. [/quote]
