    Good list, but vacuuming only monthly is something only a person who hasn’t had hardwood/tile floors would suggest. Once you’ve seen how much dust and hair collects on the floor, you’re not going to want to do it less than weekly.

      Vacuuming once a month seems insane to me. Like, “how can you live like this?” level of crazy.

        We have two dogs and a cat, so even once a week is pushing it for us. I vacuum just the living room and the canister is packed.

          I’ve got two labs and our roomba does a pretty good job.

          I did end up buying two though because if you try to bring one upstairs and manually empty it then it starts bugging out if the base is on a different floor.

            Our house is a little obnoxious for them. When you come in the front door, you’re on a tile floor. To the left there’s a step down to a dining room that connects at the far end to the kitchen. At the end of the tile on the right is a step down to the living room, hall, and a bedroom we use as an office. Then there are stairs to the upper level with three bedrooms. So to cover the place with robot vacuums, we’d need four of them. I was tempted to get one for upstairs, but we have one for the dining room and kitchen and it’s gotten so noisy. I don’t want the noise upstairs. I’m sure a newer one would be quieter.

    Pretty solid list, but I would add a bedroom category. Also I feel like I wash blankets more often than every two.months, but I have a sweaty girlfriend.

    Seems like it was deleted. Does anyone have a backup link?

    Wipe counters after you do dishes but before you sweep floor.

    You can put the kitchen sponge in the washer with the whites load. You can also put your toothbrush in the dishwasher.

    Every month you should wet your bathroom wash cloth and microwave it for about 1 minute. Let it cool off before putting in the washing machine.

    The person who needs this list apparently has a dog and needs to be told to give it water. They should not have a dog

      I think that it is more about creating a routine for this particular person than the dog being neglected. Having the dog water on the list normalizes everything else. There was no instruction to clean up dog pee everywhere either.

        I suppose that’s another way to interpret it. The “clean up spills” part made me a bit concerned as to the type of spills and conditions in which the animal would be living.

        I don’t know what else replace would mean here. I don’t think most people are using a new watering dish that frequently.
