Do you spring/fall clean? Who does the housework?

Dave/dlq04 mentioned cleaning windows even when it's freezing outside. I tried that yesterday after work. It didn't work too well for me. I was washing woodwork and putting up fresh curtains. I was going to wait until it was warmer to do the windows, but, I wanted clean windows with clean curtains.........did you know Windex will freeze when it hits a window that's been exposed to 20* temps?
My windows drop in for easy cleaning, but it was very cold yesterday. I was getting bits of frost on them where I sprayed the window with Windex. I did the best I could, but they need a touch up.........when it's warmer.

I work, my wife works. A long time ago Anita and I decided that if we both were going to work, we would enjoy the extra income in meaningful ways. That means that much house work is left for hired help. A maid service and some help with the yard etc from the neighborhood kids goes a long way. This gives us time to be involved in the "want to" things, rather than the "have to" things. Our usual "spring cleaning" activity amounts to cleaning the windows and hosing the winter dirt off the house - about a 1/2 to 3/4 days work for both of us each year. And that reminds me, cleaning due in three weeks - just before Easter.

Mine are so easy to do, I have no excuse. I don't have to step outside at all. Rick takes care of the ones that need cleaning from outside.

After reading this topic (I'm playing catch-up since I was gone all week), I'm considering changing the venue for FFFII! Yikes! There's some serious cleaning going on around this internet family!
Anyone coming here expecting a clean house will go away disappointed. At one time I was a total clean freak but thankfully with the help of a serious 12-step program, I got over it! I've discovered a lot of things in life to occupy the time that I once spent cleaning and they're all more enjoyable. Besides, we have 5 dogs (as of tomorrow night that will be 6 dogs and a cat) and live on a giant sand dune. Even my wonderful mother-in-law couldn't keep this place clean and you can perform open heart surgery in her bathrooms! When I need a "clean fix" I just go visit her.

A giant sand dune sounds neat! Six dogs a bit much for me though. Not all great Danes or St. Bernard's I hope.

I only do light cleaning. I pay my daughter to clean regularly. When my late wife was health we did some serious cleaning both spring and fall.
Now that I think about, when my daughter lived at home we couldn't get her to clean her room let alone anything else.
