Well, kitchen areas must be clean for me for sure and bathroom, laundry must be done, cat box....but I must admit we do have a lot of dust bunnies not great on vacuum cleaning and dusting. Major stuff like washing all the drapes, twice a year. I have never washed our walls, I know my mom used to wash her walls. If anything smells yucky in the house, that has to be cleaned. I don't believe in hiding smells with pretty air fresheners, unless you're cooking fish or something and you want to mask that smell. We have way, way too much stuff and that is a problem when you want to dust and/or vacuum clean.
