    I try to keep my place clean but I only vacuum and sweep once a week and I usually mop every other week. I also dust as needed. I never ever have any dirty dishes in the sink or any where else except in the dishwasher. This is one of my pet peeves. I do have too much stuff for my condo but I try to put it away in my storage lockers or in my closets so there isn't too much clutter lying around. My bedroom is probably the messiest part of my place but company would rarely see this room any way.

    I always try to do some cleaning daily, but even with that, my house never looks completely clean, unless there is company coming, especially if it is my mom!! Hubby loves it when my mom comes to visit! He says it is the only time he sees the house look so good!

    I HATE cleaning!! So, under most circumstances, I wait until I know people are coming over. Of course the REALLY sad part about that, is that it happens so seldom (I never get company).............. Plenty of fur and scattered litter, not to mention dust. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't show you the inside of my house right now if you PAID me.

    My mom generally cleans the whole house. Her job is paying bills, being a mother, cleaning, shopping, etc. and she cleans alot. She's somewhat of a neat freak. The only thing I MUST keep clean is my room, bed, fish tank and bird cage/area which is generally clean unless I am super busy, which reminds me of what I should be doing right now. My future house will be pretty clean, I can tell you now, I can't live in a dirty place!

    My mum is a proud clean freak. :]
    She's the only reason we can pull off having as many animals as we have in the house!
    I help, though. Daily chores are a must.

    the dishes I TRY to wash as I use but sometimes I leave them till the end of the day.... or the next
    Moping/dusting/ironing every other day
    Washing clothes once or twice a week
    Vaccuming..... two or three times a day...... yeah this is my HAVE TO DO chore.... with the bird feathers and seeds....

    I soooo use to "hide" stuff under beds, behind doors, or anyplace that can hold something hidden..... if you see my closet you can see a big pile of colors which unless you knew which is which clothe you´d freak LOL.... but I DO know, sooo....who cares??....

    Oh my, none of you have seen my bunny room. Yes there are little black poopies here and there, hay is in the corner. Hair on the carpet, but it's their bedroom and they rule.

    I have horrible pack rat tendencies so while my house is always clean, it looks like a disaster. When company comes I try to hide most of the junk.
