I often see/hear people berate themselves for their lack of domestic cleanliness. And it turns out they are already cleaning the house much more often than I do! So for all of you who think you are uncleanly slobs, here is the ugly truth about me:

All chores listed as how often I think I should do them/how often they actually get done. Actually, despite the "I should" here, I am totally okay with the state of my house, and clutter bothers me more than dirt.

Vacuum and sweep: weekly/every other week, sometimes every 3rd.
Clean bathroom (toilet/sink; does not include tub or mopping): weekly/every other week.
Clean tub: every couple of weeks/when I can't stand the scunginess and/or want to have a bath, which is in practice every couple of months.
Mop anything: every couple of months/hahahahahaha. I do not mop. mr. flea has been known to mop, generally once every 6 months or so.
Change sheets/towels: weekly/about once a month, unless there is pee involved.
Wash dishes: daily/sort of daily, maybe every other day. Sometimes low-priority pans sit for several days.

Don't you feel better now?

Heh. Well, my biggest problem isn't so much the cleaning as the keeping neat--keeping paper piles under control and not having clothes (dirty especially, but mostly clean ones I haven't put away yet) lying everywher, etc, etc. My apartment is small enough that if it's NEAT, it only takes a few minutes to vacuum/sweep/mop/dust or whatever. But getting it neat...well.
