Why do housewives/homemakers always include cleaning the house in their list of duties? I noticed it in some of the answers to a recent question, and I see it every time a question like this comes along. Seriously, how do they think that the homes of working people get cleaned? Sure, a few can hire maids and gardeners, but the average working Joe (or Jane) has to clean the house, shop for groceries, pay the bills, and so forth. Do they really need kudos for that? Do they really need to stay home full time just to run the vacuum? I will give them childcare and homeschooling to some extent, but working mothers have to do those things too, or at least make those arrangements for their children to be where they need to be. My mom homeschooled my sister while working full-time. And working moms have to take time off to take the kids to the doctor. And SINGLE working moms have it the toughest. At least if there is a father at home, it is assumed he does some of the household duties if his wife works. But single working mothers have to do it all, all by themselves. They do everything a SAHM does, but with 40 hours less a week to do it in. So anyway, I'm curious to know why you SAHMs always include basic adult duties (housekeeping, billpaying, yardwork) in your list of reasons of why you need to stay at home. Note: I have no problem with SAHMs. I just get irritated with them sometimes when they act like they're the only ones who have a house to clean and bills to pay.

What do YOU have on YOUR cleaning list? I am 20 years old and living at home still while I go to college. Our house is VERY big (about 6,000 square feet which does not include the basement or 5 car garage!!) and it takes a LONG time to clean! Becuase I'm usually good at it, my mom has asked me to come up with a weekly list of "house hold chorse". What is to be done on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays etc... Some things need to be done every day (dishes for example) and some things need to be done only once a week (washing bedding for example) And then there are other things that should maybe be done once a month (Dusting above doorways and windows etc..) With this list we are hoping to avoid having things build up (like the dust building up above those door ways!!) .. What things would YOU do every day A few times a week Once a week Once a month...etc... (Just curious. Maybe other people have better ideas than I do. And maybe theres something that somebody else has on their list that i forgot!!) I should add... My mom and I do most of the cleaning. I have 3 siblings (brother age 5 - almost 6, sister age 7 and another brother age 8) .... its their job to clean their own messes (toys books video games, etc...) and sometimes they enjoy helping with the 'bigger work' that my mom and I do. I also have a step-father who isnt around too often (he owns his own landscaping/snow removal business and spends a lot of time out working)

Where can I find the cleaning checklists Darlene Merrill published in the '70s?

what do you look for in house cleaning services? My family and I are in financial mess, and someone had suggested that my husband and I look into cleaning houses.

I've thought about creating packages (basic, premium, deep, etc) with a list of addons (clean refrigerator, sweep porches, clean windows, etc) as well as offering a custom package at an hourly rate. I'm not sure about what rates are nowadays, but I hear the average is around $20/hr. Since my husband and I haven't done anything like this, we don't have references... how much should our hourly rate be considering? What are things your house keeper does that you appreciate? Thanks in advance!

Can I list my house "for sale by owner" and then contact one of the people who viewed my house with an agent? We planned on taking our house off the market on Nov 1 so we wouldn't be hassled during the holiday season. We had a buyer and signed a contract, but her financing fell through due to ID theft. If she gets that cleaned up can I contact her to buy without notifying the agents? I don't think this is illegal, but it just seems ethically questionable. Some people tell me yes and some say no, but does anyone really know?
What cleaning products are best for cleaning a house that needs a lot of work? My boyfriend just bought a house for us but the house needs a lot of work. While he's doing the repair work, I plan to clean the rooms. I don't want to use homemade products for this because you have to mix way too many things. I'm willing to pay for the cleaning products but I need to make sure I get the right ones. The products I'll need will be mostly for the following: oven/stove grease, soap scum, wood floors, etc. I have only seen the inside once so I can't really remember everything that needs work. Just imagine everything that goes in a house that hasn't been properly taken care of. I'd like a list of cleaning products and how good they are if anyone can find one or can just share their opinions. I appreciate it. Thank you =]

I actually get on my hands and knees and scrub the corners of every room with a toothbrush. and shine all metal in the house. its WAY more work than an normal housekeeper. i get $60 and i clean every saturday
Help With House Cleaning? Hi, I am a teenage girl wanting to help my family with the housecleaning. My mom's not too into it, my dad can't do it, and my sister doesn't care about it. But my family does like the house kept clean, so I've started helping out here and there. My question is, what kinds of things does house cleaning entail? Can you help me by listing some things that are basic needs, and then some extras?

Question about moving everything out of the house before we list it for sale? I asked a question previously about moving the items out of our house and most of the reponses said NOT to move everything out as it will become harder for people to imagine themselves or their things in the house...etc. Well I have another question: All of the furniture in our house is just really old and raggedy, nothing matches...bedspreads are handme-downs...you get the picture. We are 22 years old and we just don't have any "nice" stuff so it's not like they'd be walking into a really pretty decorated house. So considering that- will it HURT to move the stuff out or should we keep the furniture there even though it's pretty much an eyesore LOL. Oh, and I think it would be really hard to keep the house clean because I am due to have another baby in just a couple of weeks!
Security Deposit on Rental house / Lost Deficiencies list.? When we moved in to our current place, we did the walk through to check for anything that was wrong with the place already. We were never provided with a copy of the deficiencies list, only the lease. A couple months back, I contacted my landlord to ask for a copy of the list so I'd have something to reference while we were returning the property to its original condition. He told me that shortly after we moved in, he totalled his car and lost many documents, our deficiencies list, being on of them. We will obviously do our very best to clean the house and get it into 'move in' condition. We even decided to not hang any pictures so we didn't have to repair nail holes. My question is.......If our landlord claims that the place was better before we move, but doesn't have any written documentation to support that, how am I suppose to approach him with that without being rude? FYI. We moved in March 2005, so we've been here about 2 years. I never noticed I didn't the list until recently when we found out that we'd be moving soon.
I need a step by step list on how to effectively clean my house.? I am so stressed out about my house and I don't even know where to begin.

I have a two yr old who constantly drags everything out, a husband who is lazy, a 5 yr old who is fairly good at keeping things picked up, but not consistent, and a 7 month old puppy that is always chewing things up and shredding it all over the house. Where do I start? I'm at my whits end!!
Cleaning whole house, What will I need.? I'm going shopping for items to clean the house...Now I can only spend around 35 or so dollers on cleaning stuff..well most likely less.... What do I need? I'll be cleaning- living room hallway 2 dirty bathroom kitchen Gaming/Basement Closet What do I need? Such as cleaners? And is buying another broom to clean out everything a good idea? Since we only have one kitchen broom? A list of things would be awesome! Thanks.

Our house is on the market and our dogs have been kenneled--is it ok to bring them home?Life balance as seller It's been almost 3 months. Part of our frustration in keeping our house listed is our dogs are kenneled to preserve the new lanscaping, floors, etc. If we bring them home and keep them groomed and then confined or out of the house when people are looking do you think it would ruin our chances of selling if we brought them home? I miss them so much! Also--it's $900 p/m to kennel them and we are going into debt to keep them somewhere else. to keep our home in pristine condition. If we bring them home would it reduce our showings if we asked for extra notice to clean any dog hair and arrange kenneling them for a couple of hours at the dog kennel? We'd be changing the showing instructions from "call and show" to "by apt. only". Help! I want my life back to some degree. I am pregnant and have a toddler--I work and have a husband with a long commute so I have to do the cleaning, etc.. myself because I telecommute for the most part. Any life balance suggestions?
If a house is listed at $155,000 and is fairly reasonable and in good condition what would you offer? How much do you typically knock off for your first offer?

Asking for the washer, dryer, and professional rug cleaning as well.
Should I kill myself to cleaning for one person? Showing my house....? The house is listed and basically state no showing until Oct 6th but this one person is insistent on seeing it tomorrow. We have boxes everywhere since we are still in the middle of staging..... house is just a mess. I was just going to clean up the kitchen and bathroom and just straighten up what I could. My husband is worried the house is a mess but I can't believe that we would sell our house that fast- from 1 person looking at it. Why is this person in such a rush to see it? They were told it is in the middle of being worked on. Should I not worry or should I panic? (I have a lot going on so I don't have time to clean, I have to alter my own bridesmaids dress and my husband suit tonight and pack for the wedding. Wasn't planning on cleaning.) 50.00 to clean? Where do you live? They want like a thousand around here for a big clean like this! And it's nothing gross- just boxes and books, no mold, underwear or hair- EW!
