How often do you Hoover?

[blackmasque]

I have a robot vacuum downstairs, and I vacuum daily [in sections since I have some difficulty with physical activity (Mondays = bedroom and hallway, Tuesday = stairs and entry hall, etc.)]. I have cats and would ideally want to vacuum the whole house daily but I do the best I can.

 

[no-no]

At least once downstairs, aim for twice (before midday and then in the evening). I’ll do the stairs and upstairs 1-2 times a week. I only have this regime because 1. I have a dog with Houdini hair (he’s not even long-haired but it sheds everywhere) 2. I use a Shark which makes it easier. If I don’t vacuum until late in the day I swear the house starts smelling musty

Our main floor is hardwood and where our dog spends most of his time. We have a handheld Dyson which I run on the floor normally once a day, sometimes twice. I also sweep it with a Swiffer pad daily. Bathrooms which are tile get vacuumed with the handheld a few times a week.

Then we have a proper vacuum which I use once a week on the main floor and upstairs carpet.

How often do people mop? I definitely do it once a week, sometimes twice. I do spot cleans in between with a microfiber cloth.

Every day, but sometimes it could probably be done twice a day. Big hairy dog is mainly to blame. I'm amazed he manages to keep any fur on his body, because it seems to be all over my floors all the time.

I’ve just bought a Shark anti wrap and even though it’s a big bulky thing I love it, hoping it motivates me to do it more after having to de-hair our bloody Dyson every time.

Does anyone use shake and vac? I can’t vacuum without it! X

Twice a day but I have a dog who seems to never stop surfing hair!

Ok so this thread has reminded me that I need to Hoover

 

[Heyyall123]

2-3 times a day everyday . Young kids no pets

 

[Fairytruthmother]

Puppy is moulting at the minute so at least 4 times a day

 

[Camelia]

Once a day generally after dinner and 'Miss' Roomba does it's thing during the day.

For context, we don't have children but we do have pets. The floors are a mix between hardwood and tiles.

At least once a day...sometimes ends up being 3 or 4. Carpets we have show up everything and 10 mins after hoovering it looks like it hasn’t been done for a fortnight

Before i got my cordless dyson, probably once a week when i did my big clean but with the cordless its so easy to just run it around at the end of the day everyday.

dyson is one of the best buys for sure!

Twice-daily ... we have dark rugs and carpets, four cats, and two very hairy dogs.

I actually really like doing the vacuuming.

 

[ElektraWintour]

At least once a day due to a toddler and double coated dog

 

[Pinkii]

Thought that a cordless Shark would motivate me to vacuum more often.







It didn't.

to be fair if I didnt have my toddler I would probably not have the motivation to hoover everydah but at the end of the day there is so much crap on the floor that I wouldn’t be able to relax properly if I didnt hoover

 

[Heyyall123]

How do you find time to do it multiple times a day?!

I hoover twice a week.

I don't know my vac just literally never gets put away so it's always just out ready . It really doesn't take long too vacuum x

As the title says! And do you think should vary depending on whether you have pets? Children? Depending on what floor you have?

My mum Hoovers every day. My partner thinks you should Hoover once a week, and I prefer to Hoover two to three times per week. We have one cat and no children, laminate.

 

[Be More Pacific]

Once a week and my partner does it.

No kids. No pets. Very small two bedroom house, although one bedroom is out of use at the moment due to a huge water leak, so just one currently.

I would love to do it more but it just takes too much energy out of me. I have MS - I'm not just a lazy bitch

My partner works really, really, really long hours and hates housework. It is still the biggest thing we argue about, because he doesn't give a toss whereas I get really stressed and upset about not being able to keep on top of things - so I'm in the process of arranging a cleaner to come in fortnightly. Would love them to come every week but just can't afford it but I can muddle through the week they don't come. My partner will still vacuum and change the bed weekly though - my two most energy zapping chores.

I have hay fever too, but I only hoover once a week, I hate it because I have a heavy ass hoover and loads of carpets.

Once a day downstairs, once a week upstairs and the stairs too. No pets!
