Talk to me about your cleaning habits, schedule etc

I'll be honest, I hate cleaning and have always found it boring, overwhelming and just all around distasteful.  Not helped by the fact that my dd was a hyperactive high needs little one and now as an almost adult teen, has multiple health issues that are rather overwhelming.  Oh and I work full time and dh is a contractor who often works long hours.  So our house has often been a mess.  

However we recently moved from our tiny, old, damp house with no storage to a nice, larger house with lots of storage.  We also did a major purge before we moved.  Just having more storage and space I have found is so far, making it much easier.  However I worry that just one extra hectic period in life will get me overhwelmed and behind.  So I want to come up with a way to prevent that.  I have got dh to agree that he can't hold onto so much stuff like he used to.  When we purged he realized that all the crap I kept telling himto get rid of really was not stuff he needed.  He's sentimental about stuff,as is dd.  I am not.  But I think he now realizes that it's easier to clean and keep clean when you don't have so much stuff in the way.

But I want a schedule. An idea of how real people do it.  I don't expect my house to look perfect, that's not us.  But I don't want to panic at the thought of people coming over for dinner or OMG just stopping by.   

So what tasks do you do and how often?  Who does what, (you, dh/so, kids etc)?

So far in our new house this is how it (generally) goes.

We all put our dirty dishes in dishwasher after every meal.  I wash things that need done by hand.  DD or I empties and puts dishes away. Sometimes the things that need hand washing wait a little bit but always done by end of day.

At the end of the day I wipe down counters, stovetop and spot sweep the kitchen. 

Laundry gets done, folded and put away on Sunday.  Mostly me with dh and dd putting away their own stuff and sometimes folding towels.  If I do a load during the week,it may sit a day or two before being folded and put away.  DD washes her guinea pig bedding every couple of days, that's all on her.

We clean bathrooms on the weekend.  I do guest and master bath, dd or dh does her bath (depends on how she's feeling).  I did skip the master bath this weekend as my ankle that I twisted a while back and periodically acts up, was acting up.  I did everything else but that.

I wipe down the kitchen appliances on the weekends and anything else that I think needs cleaning in the kitchen. 

Dh vaccums wood floors and carpet upstairs on the weekend.  We have not yet cleaned the wood floors, just swept and vaccumed.  In between I spot sweep as needed downstairs.

DD or I dusts the downstairs over the weekend.  Haven't really dealt with the upstairs.  I did dust our bedroom once, we've been here a month.  It needs to be done again this weekend I'd say.

Baseboards?  Cleaned them when we moved in, haven't touched since, same with the ceiling fans.  I did wash the insides of the windows when we moved in but not the outsides except those in the master bedroom as they were dirtier than the others due to their location on the house and wind blowing dirt from a field behind us. Honestly I probably won't until the spring when the weather warms up. 

Bedding?  I suck at this even now, it's such a pain to pull it all off and remake the beds.  I've done it once so far since we've moved.

Picking up clutter. We're doing better at this but even so it seems like there is always something sitting out that shouldn't.  I'm working from home today (just finished) and am still sitting in my chair in the living room and can see a pile of unfolded laundry, some paperwork I need to fill out, an Amazon box that I need to take upstairs and put in my closet with the other Christmas gifts and a pile of coupons, papers, gift cards for gifts etc I pulled from my purse and need to sort and put where they belong.

So really I want to know how you stay on top of cleaning?  How often do you do each task?  And when you get behind, how do you get over being overwhelmed and get caught up etc?  That has been a major problem for me.  Last year dd had numerous ER visits, hopsital stays, doctor/infusion appointments every week or more and was just needing a lot from us.  It seemed like it was all we could do to take care of her and work (and even that would have been impossible for me if not for FMLA and an understanding boss/coworkers.  The house was a total disaster and getting caught back up was just so hard.  She's doing much better now but still has issues with her JRA, diabetes, anxiety and issues from being immune compromised due to her JRA meds (had strep throat a few weeks ago, then a cold and now walking pneumonia with asthma involvement).  Hopefully it won't be as bad as before, bu I need a plan if life gets crazy again. And you know it always does!
