I would say probably 2-3 times a year and never all at once so something is always dirty, cluttered, and annoying!! I just found an amazing cleaning lady to help me though!!
IVF #1, Stimmed for 12 days, ER 8/22/14, 9 retrieved, 7M, 7F!! Freeze all due to fluid in uterus.
FET end of October 2014 cancelled due to fluid in uterus due to possible c-scar defect
Surgery scheduled 12/12/14 to fix possible isthmocele
3/26/15 transferred one 8 cell grade 4 embryo and one 6 cell grade 3 embryo = slow rising betas for 2+ weeks = ectopic MTX shot 4/29/15
Repeat c-scar surgery June 2015
2nd and last IVF cycle August 2015, stimmed for 12 days, 2 egg retrieved, both mature and both fertilized. Transferred both 8-cell embryos on Day 3, beta 9/5/15 = BFFN
I'm kind of in the same boat as @frenchteachermama. Everything in the house gets deep cleaned maybe two or three times a year, but its on more of a rotation. We will deep clean before big parties.
I've used a cleaning lady in the past. We had a women and her team come once a month when I was working full time and in my third tri with DS and then she came a couple times right after he was born. And then DH hired her to do a one time job for mother's day. But other than that, we don't really use someone anymore. And I miss that!

We have a cleaning service that deep cleans every month or so, but we can do that because it's only our tiny condo and we actually just bought a house and I have no idea what we will be able to afford since the house needs a ton of work and also because it's way bigger so I'm sure it would cost a ton to have it cleaned
