But vacuuming, the noice is horrific even though we have the most silent vacuum we could find. <br /><br />Our floors are parquet and they are really easy to keep clean. <br /><br />One of the reasons I love winter is that when there are minus degrees and snow, you don't need to clean at all. No dust, no dirt on the floors.

Meaning they have to sweep everyday. Well, what you see on the wood floors is what is on your carpet, you just can't see it as readily. So it really depends on lots of factors: do you wear shoes indoors? do you have babies crawling on the floors? or animals? does anyone have allergies?If so, then vacuuming every day is as necessary as sweeping. On the other hand, if you take your shoes off as soon as you come in the door, don't have crawlers or animals, or allergies, vacuum as infrequently as you like. I personally despise carpets!

If there is something I really hate to do, it's ironing. But again, I like the end result, so I keep doing it:)Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-36156263669029669602018-10-10T05:27:34.686-07:002018-10-10T05:27:34.686-07:00I think it depends in so many factors.

So sweeping is more essential to me. We have as little carpets as possible to make sweeping more easy. <br /><br />I usually vacuum and sweep whole appartment once a week and then vacuum or sweep places that seem to need it. We have a pathway of pawprints from door to balcony door, that should be sweeped daily... But I do it maybe every other day... And all the dust seems to gather to certain points and I remove it when I notice it. <br /><br />I absolutely HATE vacuuming, so I try to sweep as much as possible. I have really good microfiber plate swab. <br />Housewife Outdoorsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-23321353551030195962018-10-10T00:31:58.700-07:002018-10-10T00:31:58.700-07:00Wow, I'm impressed!

I can't sweep upstairs, I have wall-to-wall carpeting, and two thick carpets downstairs which can't be really swept. So vacuuming is the only way.

We homeschool. We are home all the time. I imagine we are peak at the dirty level (also live in country). I would think every home varies. Clean daily as needed!

I feel myself inclined to agree with twice weekly school (can't stand dirty floors) and my husband thinks that twice a week should be enough, but old habits die hard. Letting Wed vacuuming go feels like cheating somehow:)Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124283361844607678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-25352666106797233002018-10-09T13:44:28.638-07:002018-10-09T13:44:28.638-07:00Once a week is what I do.

With a three story house and two sets of stair, once a week is all I can manage. That is my opinion, though. If someone feels up to it, then do more! I really think once a week is fine.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319295883808264474noreply@blogger.com
