No Stupid Questions

A plan. Clean all floors weekly.

Clean the worst of it and let the rest be. I try to do a more thorough cleaning spring and fall.

I don't wear shoes in the house and run an airfilter. Every friday or sunday, I do an hour of cleaning (if necessary). Keeps things extremely clean. If I make a mess, I immediately clean it up.

If you're lucky enough to have a furnace, replace the filters monthly if you can. They sell them in multi packs. Buy the cheap ones and replace them often.

I use a crosswave, and it's disgustingly effective at cleaning floors. It's basically a self cleaning Swifer wet jet.

I used it on floors that I mopped with a traditional mop twice right before, and the water was dark brown when I finished.

Robot vacuum has been a game changer for me. Highly recommended!

I usually just deep clean once a year and wash the floor multiple times over until it's pretty clean. Then I let my robot vacuum/mop keep it mostly clean twice a week the rest of the year. The robovac helps enforce a cleaner lifestyle by ensuring things aren't left out and about. The floors will never be perfectly clean though, just the nature of life~

As for everything else, I set reoccurring calendar tasks to space it out but I try to do one area per weekend. Keeps cleaning manageable but regular.

Robots

I've always considered paying for cleaning a little posh, but with children and both working full time it's an easy choice. We'd always prioritise other things than cleaning in our free time, so it wouldn't get done. It is also tax deductable where I live.

I clean the kitchen pretty thoroughly once per week after meal prepping. By thoroughly I mean do the dishes, wipe down the stovetop and counters, clean the sink with dish soap and a sponge, then sweep and mop. During the week I try to clean up small spills and such as I go and load the dishwasher after meals.

For the bathroom, I usually do once per month. Clean the counter, mirror, toilet top to bottom, and shower top to bottom. Sweep and mop.

Living spaces and bedroom I sweep/mop/vacuum once per month and clean tables as needed.

I hardly dust or clean windows. I maybe do that a couple times per year or if it's particularly filthy.

The general idea for me is to clean regularly and as needed so that nothing is really nasty at any given time. Anything else gets done roughly once per year or on move out.

At some point the shame overcomes the laziness and then I clean it.

Define your standard of clean. How much clutter do you want? How much dirt is OK?

Then break tasks up - decluttering, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, and schedule each as often as is needed.tp.mwet the above standards.

My personal standard is to do light vacuuming and decluttering every day. Dishes and cleaning kitchen +dining room at least daily, sometimes twice as needed. Bathroom cleaning and more extensive vacuuming every week. Dusting and mopping every couple weeks.

Most of my non-floor surface cleaning is done with method pink or 409 and microfiber cloths. A battery Dyson vacuum was a game changer and makes touch ups way easier; no wrangling with cords, just grab it off the wall charger and push it around for a few minutes hitting spots you can see dirt.

Nature's miracle is great for pet or kid messes, I use both the hardwood and carpet formulas.

wait til' it gets bad enough to bug me, then clean.

We're almost there.

Put a large air cleaner in on high. Beat the couch cushions outside, shake down blankets outside, carpet wash the furniture and carpets. Scrub hvac vents and air handler ducts. Wet wipe your walls and base boards. Clean you dryer vents. Dust is everywhere. Light mop daily with a spray mop.

Change your HVAC filters every month until it gets better. If you don't have HVAC, get more air cleaners and stay on top filter replacements.

It'll take ages, but it'll get better.

ITT a bunch of dirty mofos.

You can sweep and mop one time to a quality that you shouldn't be able to see dirt and grit on your floor. Maybe a different story with pets... But I wouldn't keep a shedding creature in the house besides my wife, personally lol.

i don't, its a nightmare

20"x20" air filter taped to a box fan while you're cleaning and leave it running for a few hours. Change your HVAC filter.

If dust is the problem then you start at the top and work your way down. Ie Clean ceiling fans, Dust, then wipe surfaces then vacuum.

I bought a good vacuum cleaner and a steam cleaner. That and microfiber rags.
