Bathroom(s): Every Saturday. I clean the shower, sweep/swiffer the floor, wipe down and sanitize the fixtures/toilet, clean the toilet, clean the mirrors.

Kitchen: I do a general wipe down every night after dinner. I like to unload/re-load and run the dishwasher before bed so I come home to an empty sink and clean dishes to be put away.

Living Room: I pick up toys every night after C goes to bed. Other than that, I only vacuum 1-2x a week, dust 1x a week.

Bedroom(s): These are our neglected areas. We leave clothes strewn about far too long. When I clean, it's like every two weeks, I pick up clothes, straighten/get rid of clutter, dust, vacuum.

Dining area: The dining table is our dumping ground. There's always random papers, our (empty) lunch bag, my pump bag, etc on the table. I really need to clean it off more often.

I do laundry and cleaning out the dishwasher as things fill up.  After dinner I wipe down the kitchen and generally straighten everything up everyday.  Other then that I have a house keeper, else with work and life I wouldn't have time to spend with my kid.

Bathroom(s): Once a week I do the full-on cleaning. Scrubbing toilet, tub, fixtures, mirror, etc. Otherwise, I do a quick wipe down of the counter & sink nightly. Also, I wash a load of towels weekly or twice a week if they seem like they need it.

Kitchen: Wipe down kitchen table & counters at night after dinner. We run the dishwasher about every other day. On Saturday or Sunday morning, I give the counters & sinks a more thorough clean and I clean the stove-top, microwave, and wipe out the fridge shelves.

Living Room: I tidy up daily and DH vacuums 1-2x a week. I dust on Saturday mornings. Our fireplace & hearth are places I always forget to wipe down/dust until the dust is noticeable.

Bedroom(s): DH vacuums 1-2x a week and I dust on Saturday. We do laundry (mine & DH's clothes) twice a week and DS's clothes once weekly. We do cloth diaper laundry every other day. We wash our pillowcases with each load of our laundry. I strip the beds weekly & wash all the sheets.

Dining area: Our kitchen table gets wiped down every night after dinner. Our formal dining area only gets a weekly vacuum & dusting since we only use it for holidays or dinner parties.

Bathroom: Once a week I wipe the counters down and use one o the Clorox bowl cleaner things. Also change hand towels. Once a month they get a serious wipe down.

Kitchen: general wipe down and run dishwasher pretty much every night. Big clean to include cleaning the stainless appliances every Thursday.

Living and dining room: vacuum once a week. Pick up toys and clutter nightly. Dust once or twice a month.

Bedrooms: totally neglect these. Can't dust every 6 to 8 weeks. Clothes and junk thrown all about. Rarely make the bed. Honestly, I just unpacked the suitcases from our vacation the first week of June!

Bathroom(s): sweep our master daily because of my hair and kitty liter. Wipe down every couple of days. Shower, toilet, floors every other week.

Kitchen: Wipe down daily. Dish washer runs every night. Floors swept daily, steamed every other week. Fridge/oven scrub every other month or so.

Living Room: Picked up daily. Vacuum once a week. Dust when I remember.

Bedroom(s): The boys bedrooms get cleaned every weekend, new sheets, clothes put away. Our bedroom the sheets are changed every other week and I have a stack of clean clothes in the corner, we have been bad about not putting our clean clothes away lately. Vacuum once a week.

Dining area: My formal is always the cleanest room in the house since it is used the least. Eat in dining is where we eat all dinners so we keep it fairly clean. Wipe down the table every night, sweep daily, steam clean every other week.

By cleaning, do you mean really clean or pickup? I'll admit, we use a house cleaner once a week to clean. She's inexpensive and our place is pretty small, so it's not that expensive. We pay $50/week. I do pickup toys every night and try to keep the rest of the house clean. We use our kitchen table as a dumping ground, too. Everything ends up on it. Other than that, we try to keep the house cleaned up as much as possible.
