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.
