    if it was me, some of them would be more like 3 monthly, or in the case of the windows, yearly!

    This is from mine ( 6 weekly though not monthly! )
    As well as freezer defrost and fridge / cooker clean,
    • Give WM and TD clean ( WM wipe round all seals, clean out powder drawer, do hot wash on empty with soda crystals in the drum, vinegar in conditioner compartment) ( TD wash fluff filter, make sure condenser unit /seals cleaned)
    • Clean the outside bins ( yuck)
    • Clean the car
    • Wash down outside of front/back doors
    The outside of the windows is done by the window cleaner ( too high for us to get at even with an extension pole ) but I am aiming to do the inside windows along with the weekly dusting of each room, hopefully they'll just need a wipe with the trusty microfibre then rather than the full scale soapy water treatment. Same goes for cupboards - I am doing one kitchen / utility room cupboard every two days ( empty, sort contents, wash inside and out )so hopefully if I stick to that they'll all get done several times in the year and never really need a major scrub (plus I couldn't face doing them all in one go ).

    I got a lot of these from on here - cant find the exact posts but it must have been Moggins's thread
