How often do you find yourself cleaning in your house? I'm talking about intentionally spending time going through rooms cleaning top-to-bottom, not just spot cleaning messes.
My household gets a general overall cleaning once a week, usually on the weekend when I am not at my worky job during the day. Dog hair requires spot checks throughout the week but nothing extreme.
Constantly. Of course, our fireplace produces a significant amount of our heat ….and dust. My wife and I have declared war on the clutter. On Thursday I hauled out 29 bags for recycling, Salvation Army, garbage. This Thursday I expect another 30 bags to go out. I hope to continue the push until the end of the year.
If there is one thing the Wizard of Oz has taught me, it is not to trust school teachers on bicycles.
Eight in the home. Five pets. We clean every day, something or the other and I try to declutter/ pare down an area every weekend or the evening if I power through!

We deep clean (what we call deep clean) when company's coming for a few days of overnight visiting....so maybe 3-4 times a year?
Otherwise we are pretty neat and tidy....just the two of us now, no indoor pets so not a lot to keep up with.
Maybe I should ask what you mean by 'clean from top to bottom'?
Did I ever tell about milking our goats in the cabin and raising an orphaned lamb in the kitchen? ...all in the past but I think house cleaning is relative to life style maybe?
