Comment on How do you keep your homes clean?

I’m a little late to the party but keep in mind that people who stay on top of cleaning and have sparkling houses are doing just that and nothing else because it is so time consuming. You don’t want to invest all your free time (or all your time) into cleaning that will never end. Good enough is good enough.

Not true, it takes me a moment to put away my things into drawers and tidy up after myself.

Not sure why you got downvoted as cleaning efficiently and maintaining things as you go (rinsing off stuff as you cook for example) makes the whole process so much faster.
For example imagine you’re going through your clothes looking for an outfit to wear for the night. You can either dump all your clothes into a pile while trying things on or try them on and hang them up as you go. That way when you’re done, you don’t have a pile of clothes to deal with.

That’s not what I mean, I’m not talking about tidying up, I’m talking about proper cleaning, as in wiping the dust everywhere and keeping every imaginable surface clean, including walls, ceilings, cupboards etc.

I think wiping walls and stuff are only things people do quarterly, every 6 months, etc and not something people do weekly as that is insane.

My mom does and yes, it is insane, and she spends all her time doing it. What I mean to say is there’s no limit to cleaning unless you set it up for yourself. For the sake of sanity it’s better to accept the fact that there will always be some dust around.
