We've found it's impossible for us to keep the house clean with 3 kids.
I'm not sure how old your kids are, but I'm finding it much easier to keep the house clean now that they're a bit older, in school, etc. I have a 5, 3 and 2 YO at home.
Also, the girls help clean the playroom every night, help make their beds every morning, etc.
I am finding the house is not as messy........

Honestly, now that the girls are 1 and (almost) 3, I'm feeling like I could make-do w/ once a month. Keeping things picked up and uncluttered is the challenge And I feel like I'm always vacuuming and wiping stuff down on a day-to-day basis anyway. I just hate cleaning bathrooms, so I guess the bi-weekly is worth it for that alone

Re: If you have housekeepers/cleaning service
Every Friday for about an hour, sometimes two hours.
It's not a service (they are too expensive for what I want done), just a nice lady other neighbors use and recommended to me.

Bi-weekly.
I'd prefer weekly but my budget wouldn't.
Bi weekly but we're changing to weekly.
