How often do you clean your house? Do you do something every day? Or just everything in one day?

I do somethings daily, as in I do the dishes after every meal, clean the counter tops and table after every meal. My kitchen is clean pretty much after each use. I vaccuum the family room every 2-3 days, also, I'll run the sweeper on the kitchen floor every night after dinner. The beds are made daily. We also have a place for everything so I can have someone pop up unexpectedly and only mess they'll find is toys all over the place (which get put away before bed time). Then I have a cleaning lady come once a week to do the bathrooms and other detail cleanings and she also changes the bed linens once a week.

I do basics everyday (washing, dishes, clean all the benches, make beds and sweep floor). Everyday I do one 'big chore' Mondays - dusting/ polishing, Tuesday's windows, Wednesdays - budgeting, shopping, mopping and monthly chore, thursday's - I work so only basics this day, Friday - bathroom (for some reason even with 3 kids it stays remarkable clean... I love this bathroom woooohooo). Saturday - bath dog, clean inside of cars, wash all the bedding and towels, Sunday - I work so only mopping. Monthly chores are, cleaning stove, bins, cleaning the bedrooms, cobwebs I then have six monthly chores aswell.
This works for me, it is all planned out in my planner and I cross off as I go which gives me satisfaction and I know that my house is always clean (tidy is another question but that is for the kids to fix before dinner).
the above method is what I used to have implemented in the stores that were under me and in 6 months they went from crusty supermarkets to places where you would want to eat off the floor, tackle a little bit at a time and over time you will accomplish.

I clean the kitchen and our downstairs bathroom daily. Everyone makes their own bed. I wash at least one load of laundry everyday. I vaccuum the downstairs Mondays and Thursdays and the upstairs on Tuesdays. I clean the upstairs bathrooms on Thursdays. I dust everything in the house on Fridays. The toy room is cleaned up every night before bed. I take Wednesdays off from housework except to change the bed linens and keep the kitchen clean.

Laundry daily. Kitchen daily. Vacumn daily. Everything else is just when I can get to it. I am glad we don't have "un invited guests".

I wash the bathrooms twice a week, maintain them everyday.
I like using the Clorox or Lysol wipes to keep them fresh.
Cleaning inside the bowls is almost daily, the bathroom (all) is pretty important for me.
The tubs I clean while I'm taking a shower and the guest bathroom is always clean.
The dishes are daily, by hand - as well as the counters,sink and stove. I clean my fridge twice a month and maintain in w/ lysol wipes as well. My floors are mostly porcelain so it's almost daily that I sweep. My rooms are vacummed twice a week and furniture is dusted daily.
