Once a week if I'm lucky but we don't have pets and don't wear shoes in the house so it's not too bad.

With the dog I really should- she is a short haired shedder. Most weeks I do it every other day, sometimes I skip a day or 2.

Normally, yes. I will skip a day when we've been gone all day and the dog hasn't been in the house, but if we're home part of the day then I vacuum. We have all hardwood with a couple of rugs, but I just like how thorough the vacuum is and I can go over the furniture real quick if I see a lot of cat hair.

Lately, no. I am just about 34 weeks pregnant and it hurts my back to vacuum. I have been sweeping at least once a day to try to maintain and only vacuum at least twice a week.

This bugs me since I am big on maintenance cleaning, it takes so much less time to do a quick clean once a day instead of a long, involved clean twice a week. I am still able to keep up on a load of laundry every day (unless I don't have a full load to do) and keep up on the dishes/kitchen counters.

Now, mopping, that's a different story , talk about a back killer...

See, in my mind I know this... and wish I cleaned everyday, but I'm lazy and keep it all till big cleaning days... I do hate this about myself, I wish I did more daily so that I don't have to do so much on cleaning days, but I don't. I am working on it though!

Not even close. I'm lucky if it gets done once a week. The smartest thing we ever did was rip out the white carpet and install the mushroom-colored stuff. It hides EVERYTHING!

For those of you that vacuum every day , how many rooms do you vacuum and do you vacuum couches and under furniture too ?

I could spend all day just vacuuming every room on every floor around here.I could never do it all in one day .

I vacuum every room from top to bottem once a week . I do the most lived in areas , twice a week.
I try to and like to clean everything and every room once a week - except bathrooms - thats daily. Dishes and wash is daily too.

HECK NO I do it about once to twice a week depending on what is going on and if dd spilled a snack on the carpet. I do laundry once a week 3 loads in one day. Dish get done EVERY day dishwasher gets run when full. This has been working for me but the laundry is prob going to change here in a bit I might have to have 2 laundry days the kids and then dh's and mine.

You are off the hook for normal cleaning

If I do my maintenance cleaning every day then I only need to mop, clean bathrooms and dust every week. I do the deep cleaning as projects.
