How often should the house be cleaned?

Q. How often should the bathrooms be cleaned, sheets be changed, curtains washed, floors mopped, entire house be dusted and carpets shampooed? Please be specific like how many days, weeks, months etc.
To answer some questions down below I have a 7 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. I own a cat. This made help with some of your answers. SMILE

A. Bathrooms should be done once a week, at least. More often if someone keeps missing the toilet, or if they are especially messing in the sink. Sheets should be washed once a week, more if it's hot and the sheets are smelly. Wash the floors in both your kitchen and bathroom at least once a week, and the kitchen should be swept at least every other day, especially if you have pets who shed. Dust the house once a week, unless you have children with allergies, then you should do it every couple of days. Shampoo the carpets once a year, more if your hard on the carpets. Do your baseboard, chair rails (if you have them) at least 3-4 times a year. Your light fixtures 1-2 times a year, depending on how much dust your house gets. Wax your kitchen cabinets at least once a year. Wash your windows at least twice a year. Wash your walls down at least once a year, you wouldn't believe how much dust settles on your walls. Go through your closet at least twice a year. Go through the toys every 6 mos, and get rid of the broken or unused toys. Curtains (like in the bath or kitchen) at least twice a year, and the bedroom/living room drapes, once a year.
Now saying all this, enjoy your kids. A beautiful, clean home is great. But I've never heard of a kid whinning because Mom spent too much time with them, and ignored the house for a while. The housework will always be there, but the kids grow up so quickly, don't miss out on their lives. Which do you remember best from your childhood, Mom taking you someplace fun, reading to you, etc., or how much she was cleanning? Save some of your goof off money, and hire some help a few times a year to come in and help with the housework.

Original Question

Will removing the tub from a master bath and replacing it with a shower affect resale value or resale-ability?

Q. We usually just shower and rarely use the tub. We're thinking about ripping out the tub in the master bath and replacing it with a shower instead. There's already another tub in the hallway bathroom.

Will removing the tub from a master bath and replacing it with a shower affect resale value or resale-ability if the hallway bathroom already has a tub?

A. Depends on who you would market your home to, i.e. a family, childless couple, etc.

We really enjoy having a bath in our master bedroom bathroom, away from all the kid stuff in the family bathroom. Ours is very much a grown-up, luxurious bathroom, whereas the family bath is more functional.

Whatever you decide, make sure you kit it out with the best fixtures you can afford, like with side body jets and/or "rain shower" shower fitting with a hand-held shower that can be changed to different settings. Make the shower stall as large as you can (think shower for two...remember this is a grown-up space!) and/or incorporate storage. Pay attention to the lighting as well.

If you're thinking about resale value, meaning you are already thinking about moving, you may wish to put in lower-quality fittings and concentrate more on the finish. If you don't think you'll be moving within the next 10 years (give or take), don't worry about it and just enjoy outfitting your home the way YOU want it!
