Night Elf Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm cleaning today, mostly out of sheer boredom. So... in an effort to make me feel better about the state of my house, I thought I'd start a poll. Just one room for the moment. Your personal bedroom (not the children's rooms). Right now is it dust free? Please oh please don't let me be the only one to answer no. :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) I dust and Dyson the whole house once a week. I don't move all the furniture though. So my bedroom is dust free by my standards, but will not meet those of other people. Every once in a while I move all the furniture in a particular room. ETA, like Peela, I find it easier to keep the house clean now that the children are out of the house all day, even though I work part time.

Tap Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I will say 'dust free' because I cleaned it really, really good last Sunday. So, while there is only week old dust in there....it is better than the 2mth old dust I cleaned away. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirch Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm horrible about dusting, and our bedroom is always the last to get cleaning attention, so I don't even want to think about how old the dust is in there. :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 :lol: Oh, I'm sorry. Was that a serious question? You could write your name in the dust on my blinds. I'm afraid to look under the bed. About the only thing that doesn't have a good layer is the top of the furniture because I run the pillowcases over it when I wash the sheets. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 *Snort* besides the fact I dust about once every three months or so (hmm 6 months?) I live on a dirt road. If I wanted to be dust free I would need to dust several times a day... not happening. My room looks as follows... Dusty, bed not mad, clothes piles 2 feet deep on top of the dresser instead of in the dresser and the floor isn't vacuumed. *sigh* Now I'm depressed.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disney Dreaming Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Bored? This forum takes up all my free time, I sit here reading instead of cleaning!:glare: If I didn't have this computer then my house would be spotless!!:lol: By no means is my bedroom dust free. I have started some spring cleaning though(throwing old things out-the zen posts on here set me off on that!).:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobynN Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I only was able to vote yes because I dusted my room yesterday. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I voted other. I dusted half of it yesterday and remembered I hate dusting so I stopped. The part I left looks really bad compared to the clean so it'll get done before bedtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yes, my bedroom is dust-free. Honestly, it's the one room I work to keep that way, I just think we all sleep better that way. I got into the habit when I shared a room with my husband, who has very bad (dust and dander) allergies. If it makes you feel any better, though, there are enough fallen hair strands in my bathroom that it could be mistaken for carpet. My hair is thick, black, and waist-length; it's hard to miss! I'm way more lax on that chore LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Walking through my bedroom is a religious experience. Picture Moses and the Isrealites walking through the parted laundry piles. :lol: My main floor is clean (but lived in) and my bedroom is always the last to get attention.

Night Elf Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yay! I'm not the only one! I chose to ask about the bedroom because it's a last room thing for me too. I try to keep the public areas clean, but I can't say my living room is dust free either. However, my kitchen is clean! I worked on it for over an hour today, which is a long time considering it's kind of small. I cleaned out the refrigerator a couple of weeks ago so the shelves are still clean, so I didn't have to do that task. I need to go find that thread on cleaning out dishwashers though! Ewww!

3lilreds in NC Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ha. I hate dusting and so generally don't. Dh said, when we got married, that he would do the dusting - which he did, when his grandmother came to visit. Once. She died in 1998. :D The girls will dust sometimes. There for a while, their idea of "cleaning for company" was to run amok with the Swiffer dusters. I've been noticing that there is rather an excessive amount of dust on the piano so I might have to break down and do that. Otherwise, if it's bad enough for me to care... the kids will be dusting. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) There is probably a measurable layer of dust on top of my bedroom bookcases. I know the same is true for the cases in my boys' rooms. I keep a pretty clean house, but I am embarassed to say how often I realize I haven't dusted the tops of the shelves.

myfatherslily Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I cleaned my bedroom top to bottom on February 18th, right before my parents visited (and slept in my room). I haven't touched it since. However, by my standards, it is still considered VERY clean:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peela Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Dust free? I am not sure thats even a possibility, so no. Regularly dusted? Strangely, yes. I actually have more time for housework with the kids gone all day, so dusting is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissel Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I almost voted "other," but I wasn't sure if that included hysterical laughter as a potential response, so I went with the dull "No." Right now, I think my bedroom is the grossest room in the house. My sheets, however, are fresh and clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I answered yes. Why? Because my Dh has allergies and I have to keep it dust free or he cannot sleep. If left to my own devices this would never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yes, but that is because I have been dusting everything as we unpack it. Dust-free is not necessarily how I would describe my bedroom on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow when I "clean" I always end up making even more of a mess and then halfway through get discouraged and/or run out of time and shove things in whereever they will fit.

Kari C in SC Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well, I actually got to vote YES, but only because my best friend is flying down next week. I cleaned my whole room because it will be the first time she is here and I will show her the whole house. If you had asked me a week ago - I would have said you could lose a small child in the dust and clutter on my dresser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well, actually right now, my bedroom is dust free. I dusted it yesterday. But, I voted NO because it is almost never dusted.

BeachGirl Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Nope. Not at all dust free. The dust bunnies are treasured members of our family by now. Why would we want to get rid of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchara Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We're supposed to dust??? Huh. Imagine that... Nope, not dust free. Not, really, anything free. We haven't gotten our dressers from our old house yet, so there are clothes hanging in the closet (more or less...), our foldables are on top of the closet, and there's one suitcase from an impromtu road trip last weekend that hasn't been unpacked. Then, I have all of my organizational supplies for school, the printer, a ton of books, oh, and the kids' science kit, plus a hamper full of clothes to fold... the baby's pack-n-play... I'm happy to just see the floor! Dusting isn't even on my radar at the moment. ;-) I do hear that burning candles a lot helps with the dust, though.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I only dust weekly, and there is always dust when I get back there. Even in death, I will not be dust-free. Let me see if this famous quote cuts and pastes: Here lies a poor woman who was always tired;She lived ina house where help was not hired.Her last words on earth were: "Dear friends, I am going Where washing ain't done, nor sweeping, no sewing:But everything there is exact to my wishes;For where they don't eat there's no washing of dishes...Don't mourn for me now; don't mourn for me never -I'm going to do nothing for ever and ever.
