Deep cleaning? Before DS twice a year. Before the ne year and during the summer. Now. Almost never. I really want someone to come and give the house a good cleaning. Then I can keep up the weekly cleaning.
I dont really have a schedule nor do a thorough deep clean, although I should get a schedule going so that I'm more likely to follow it. I do go through spurts where I want to clean random things like mini blinds, outside windows, sweep/vacuum basement, etc. when the sun is out and shining I seem to get into those moods. It's all so overwhelming and hard to decide where to start.
I never have time for deep cleaning with a one and two year old, especially now that my two-year-old doesn't nap anymore. I do dust, vacuum, and do the bathrooms weekly. The floors probably get mopped once every two weeks, and the bedrooms don't get cleaned often enough but I try to keep everything neat and straightened up. I wish we had money to have a professional cleaning person come in once a month for a good deep cleaning.

I use a dawn and vinegar mixture for a lot of cleaning. Using baking powder for things like the bath tub.
