pluralOk
I need your help
Please please fill out the poll
[even if you don't read the entry]
so recently I have been experiencing many things
for practically the first time
meaning things I haven't done is so long
I cant remember the last time I did them
What prompted this was cleaning the toilets in my apartment
and realizing that I probably had not cleaned a toilet in ten years
[unless you count flushing it an extra time or two]
Now I know how to clean a toilet
it is not like it is technically difficult
but I have had a maid for many years
and she handled all those sorts of things
the only things I have cleaned in ages
are
my bathroom sink
[see previous mention of OC behavior]
and
the kitchen
because as someone who loves to cook
my kitchen must always be spotless
What I don't know
is the frequency when you are supposed to do such things
or methods to determine when something needs to be done
so I have composed this handy little poll
to find out your housekeeping habits
that I can determine how to keep my home in Tip Top shape
You have my sincerest gratitude in advance for your time
[yes these are actually serious questions]

Bathroom - I only get on hy hands and knees and *scrub* the place once a week. But I wipe out the sink, sweep up the floor and wipe down the shower just about daily.
I don't have a duvet cover, since it is still summer I just sleep with a light blanket. But I will have a duvet cover this winter. I imagine that I'll wash it bi-monthly.
