I use one of those wands for scrubbing dishes in the shower and use it to clean my tub and shower every time I'm in there. It's great!


Love that idea! What do you put inside the wand? I assume you are talking about the ones that can have dishwashing liquid in them…

*Scrub bathtubes - pesach
*Scrub tiles in showers - pesach (I will occasionally spray with disinfectant and shower down.)
*Wash the bathroom walls - pesach, unless it got dirty somehow.
*Wash the kitchen walls - weekly
*Wash other walls in the house - downstairs weekly, upstairs pesach
*Scrub the grout of the bathroom floors (and how do you do this?) Never
*Scrub other floors in the corners, or places that typical mopping doesn't get - around 3x a year
*Clean out/reorganize drawers or cabinets throughout the house - pesach and before I have a baby.

*Scrub bathtubs : once every other week or if something is grossing me out (like a baby pooped in the bath)
*Scrub tiles in showers: whenever I scrub the bathtub
*Wash the bathroom walls: never
*Wash the kitchen walls: never, except spot cleaning any messes from little hands and cooking messes
*Wash other walls in the house: I've done this once in my life, before pesach
*Scrub the grout of the bathroom floors (and how do you do this?): so happy to have linoleum not real tile
*Scrub other floors in the corners, or places that typical mopping doesn't get: never. If I mop, it's once a week, except the kitchen and bathrooms can sometimes be more often. I sweep every day.
*Clean out/reorganize drawers or cabinets throughout the house: whenever I am looking for something or the clutter and disorganization bothers me

I work a full day 5 days a week and have two littles. Never have cleaning help. People comment when they come over that my house seems very clean and organized, but that's probably because I clean right before they come. But I also have places for everything and am a very organized person.

Im work from home full time and have 3 young kids no cleaning help.
the whole list you said I wish I coud say more often than I do.
I also have Adhd so I do sometimes go on a cleaning high and manage to do the bathrooms properly including the tiles and all with bleach.
otherwise its generally once a week unless I see a need quick scrub in the bathroom, I have a cleaning brush, sponge & spray on the windowsill so its easy and quick, sometimes its even before im about to shower and see its in desperate need so I will do it then.
Toilet I do once a week a good clean, its not in the same room as the bath and its very small so at the same time I spray and wipe the tiles & floor with anti bac spray. if im on the high I will also empty the garbages and mop the bathroom and toilet room floor.
I suppose the bright side of living in a msall apartment is less cleaning areas.
Kids room I mop once a week, dining room- living room a quick mop daily (my floors get extra dirty as I have a playgroup) and friday a good mop for Shabbos. places like under the couch is as needed or when I can be bothered.

Organising is when its really disturbing me I put it on my list and eventually it will get done within the month. today I sorted 2 of my kids clothing shelves, and the shelve with all the 'next season /old clothes' but its just because I wasnt managing to fit the winter clothes in the cupboard with all the summer clothes. I still need to do one more but she wears uniform which is in a different cupboard so it isnt driving me mad for it to become a must do.

Pesach we wash/paint walls unless I find a spot that disturbs or im trying to keep the kids 'entertained/helping' and ask them to clean the walls.


Remember, its more important to be a loving mom than a perfect housewife!

When I notice they need it and I care enough to do something about it. As my mil is in a long-term care facility and my daughter married and not being picked up for dates from our home, I don't need to follow anyone else's schedule of "musts" or do any cleaning that my own sensibilities don't dictate. That said, I empty wastebaskets several times a week, just because I like the look of empty wastebaskets. OTOH I launder curtains twice a year, max, for RH and Pesach, and sometimes only once a year. Sue me.

I have never washed a wall other than the walls in the kitchen that get splashed during cooking and eating, nor do I intend to.
