How about cleaning your bathrooms? No one seems to mention that. Once a month cleaning of bathrooms would not suffice.

Not to be crass about it, but unless you are living in a house with a contagious illness spread by contact with surfaces or with someone who has a compromised immune system, I think we all get to set our own standards for cleanliness, including in our bathrooms. I tend to meet friends these days at coffee shops, so I rarely see the inside of their homes -- if I did, and if the bathrooms didn't meet my standards, I would just plan to join them elsewhere.

My husband and I have a deal: if one of us has higher cleanliness standards than the other for something specific, that person gets to do that aspect of the cleaning. If necessary, the other person just picks up a different (non-cleaning) chore to keep the workload reasonably balanced. It's worked for decades.

I do clean the bathroom often. I just didn't mention it.
