    Do most people hoover every day? I must be a !!!!!!.

    The bathroom basin has a quick clean every day; whoever uses the shower or bath cleans it. Skirting get a wipe with my socked foot as I notice dust.

    how often do people dust skirting boards and clean windows?

    keeping kitchen clean and bathroom doesnt take long and neither does wiping the hoover round but its laundry and dusting that takes me ages

    my top tip..grab a baby wipe and use it to wipe what evers in reach lol

    im a sahm so although i have more time at home to clean more mess is made as my youngest is home all day so i clean table and sweep dining room floor 3 times a day grr

    I do my skirting boards on a rota alternate days. Upstairs day one, downstairs day 2, upstairs 3, downstairs 4.

    I do my windows inside and out daily as I'm waiting for my fresh bread to finish baking before breakfast. If it's raining I just do the insides ;)

    Nope, not here...not even once a week. I sweep a bit when the floor looks like it needs it (floor boards throughout). Priority is to keep bathroom and kitchen hygenic. Everything else is secondary to doing things I enjoy.

    The reality is that my skirtings get done about once a year - whether they need it or not ;)

    Crikey! When I read threads like this I never know whether to feel inadequate, or happy I have better things to do with my life!

    LOL MrCow! :rotfl:

    I hoover twice a week and do windows once a month. When I can't see out, I clean them. :o

    Skirting boards get hoovered with the crevice doofer on the vac, not every time just when it needs it, probably fortnightly?

    Sadly the bedrooms don't get the same treatment as we have so much stuff we're in the process of selling and being MSE not wishing to pay for storage so it's in every patch of spare space upstairs. :eek:

    I do hope that you have a broom up your derriere whilst you do so.

    I don't need one, the sweeping and cornices would already have been done :p
