every 7- 10 days
but I spot clean in between

once a week

I hired a cleaning lady a few weeks ago, but they are coming every other week which was how often I used to do a "good clean" of the house.

Mop kitchen floor - Once a week
Dust - I dust a little every week, I do a thorough clean and really dust every month or so
