Cleaning List
I just came across this list, thought it might come in handy.
Cleaning Frequency
Daily
Perform these basic chores every day:
• Make the beds.
• Put away clothes and children's toys.
• Wash dishes, spray and wipe off counters and cooktop or range.
• Take out trash and recycling.
• Clean cat litter boxes.
• Wipe out bathroom sinks and spray shower doors.
If you work long days or have after-work pursuits—such as continuing education or children's activities—basic chores, meal preparation and some laundry may be all you manage in a day.
Weekly
Weekly chores include the laundry, ironing and dry-cleaning delivery and pickup. Also complete the following to stay on top of your housework:
• Clean the kitchen and bathrooms.
• Dust furniture and shelves.
• Shake or vacuum area rugs.
• Vacuum living areas.
• Mop hard surface (not wood) floors.
• Change bed linens.
• Sweep front entry and steps.
• Buy groceries.
• Clean the kitchen first, and the bathroom(s) second, to get the hardest jobs out of the way first.
Every two weeks
• Sweep the garage.
• Shake out area rugs and doormats outdoors before vacuuming.
• Vacuum furniture (underneath the cushions too).
Monthly
These are the chores to keep your home looking neat and clean. Block out time so they don't slip by.
• Clean inside window surfaces; clean decorative mirrors.
• Wash out kitchen trash container and surrounding area. (Stash three or four trash bags at the bottom of the container before putting in a fresh bag to make it convenient to replace a bag when the trash is taken out.)
• Clean the stove; wipe the interior of the refrigerator.
• Clean baseboards, dust miniblinds and vacuum curtains.
• Dust, sweep and vacuum before washing surfaces to rid rooms of as much loose dirt and debris as possible.
• Change or clean filters on heating and cooling systems.
Calendar of Kitchen Chores
Daily cleaning:
• Spray and wipe countertops, range top and vent hood.
• Sweep floor.
• Scrub sink with a general-purpose cleaner; wipe dry.
Weekly cleaning:
• Mop floor (more often if young children or pets are in household).
• Clean exteriors of appliances.
• Wipe refrigerator door.
• Scour and polish sink.
Monthly cleaning:
• Wipe off cabinet doors.
• Clean oven and refrigerator; sanitize refrigerator drip pan.

my question is...are we still expected to "be romantic" after doing all this everyday?
