This weeks QOTW is obviously about hygiene, which really does have alot to do with our health!
1. How often do you sweep/vacum/mop?
2. Do you bleach anything in your home often- what?
3. Do you consider your home clean? (would you be ready for unexpected visitors?)

1. How often do you sweep/vacum/mop?
Not as aften as I should.
1. How often do you sweep/vacum/mop?
I actually TRY to sweep about once a week. Sometimes that gets stretched out to two. I don't have any floors to mop if you can believe that. ALL CARPET... even the darn kitchen!! I HATE THAT!!
2. Do you bleach anything in your home often- what?
YES. The countertops in my kitchen. I use that "clorox cleanup". I clean it right before and then right after I use my countertops for any kind of cooking or food prep.
3. Do you consider your home clean? (would you be ready for unexpected visitors?).
Well, I don't cinsider my home "unsanitary" by any means. But I HATE when I get unexpected visitors. See, our problem is, my boyfriend and I are BOTH divorced. And we BOTH got everything out of the divorce and we are living in a ONE BEDROOM house. I am serious. We've got 3 rooms plus the bathroom. We are SOOOO cramped!! We've been actively researching our options for building. I have 8 acres of land just sitting there doing nothing!! lol. Can you imagine what we'll do when we are in our "real house" as we call it!! We'll have a field day with the space!!!
1. How often do you sweep/vacum/mop?
Sweep or vacuum weekly, mop every 2-3 weeks. Hard to keep up sometimes when we're both so busy with other things outside the house.
2. Do you bleach anything in your home often- what?
The grount/tiles in the shower, every 2-3 weeks, and some of the bedding (non-colored) and occasionally the kitchen floor as it needs it.
3. Do you consider your home clean? (would you be ready for unexpected visitors?) It's fit for company (I hate unexpected visitors) but I'm not concerned about every little thing being put away all the time.
1. How often do you sweep/vacum/mop?
Well I try to sweep and mop once a week- more if the need arises though! But I have to admit to not having mopped in about 2 weeks now! With the Easter break and all, I've been too busy- with my social life, lol! (I only have white tiled floors and that of course shows up EVERYTHING, most of all my dark hair!!)
2. Do you bleach anything in your home often- what?
I bleach the toilet, tub, and kitchen counters. Bathroom gets done about every 2 weeks and the counters get done probably every two days...maybe that should become a daily chore for me!
3. Do you consider your home clean? (would you be ready for unexpected visitors?)
It's just me here, and I try to stay pretty clutter free, so it would 'appear' clean, but now if you came in with an inspector- who knows!!
(I watched Oprah last night, which is where I got the idea for this question- did anyone else see it? It was pretty interesting, and eye opening!!)

You mop the floors on hands and knees- why, I think we should just start calling you 'Cinders' Cinderella, lol! That's a great workout right there!
I love that 'soap scum' stuff, it really does make cleaning the tub much easier!
What's funny is I'm sure there are a few houses out there where you could eat off their floors! I know I can be kind of anal at times about cleanliness, but you'd have to use plates at my house too ;-)

My house is the complet opposite, all I have is tile- I wouldn't mind carpet in my bedroom, but I have to settle for my small rug instead! Carpet down here is just too hard to keep and too warm most of the time!
Good luck with your 'real house' plans ~IG

I put a dot of bleach in my dishes every time I do them (I don't have a dish washer yet) (notice I said YET!!!) I think it is time to have a dishwasher!!! You know it is the year 2004 isn't it???? LOL Oh someday I guess!!
We have a house some people would call Grand Central Station!!!! It is very busy, between the dc friends and mine and the dh's friends and family it is a busy house!!! So I try to keep the house looking clean all the time!!! Though sometimes though!!
Like Steffy, I wouldn't suggest anyone eat off the floors. LOL
I didn't see oprah but I heard all about it!!!
Scary about the pillow thing, isn't it??

I have a regular 'Swiffer', and don't actually use it that often, they're not that great on tiles! But I do use the wet wipes on it (you know the ones) to give a quick clean to the floor when I don't actually need to mop the whole apartment!
