I try to vacumn and put everything back where it belongs after every project is finished and out the door. Sometimes it gets done, sometimes it gets over looked as I'll have 3-4 projects going at one time. I do vacumn around my cutting table and ironing board when I go to attach the binding onto the quilt so I don't add to the loose threads already on the quilt. Hate picking threads off while I'm hand sewing the binding on while watching TV at night.

Exactly how it happens in my small apt. I do try to oil my machine once a week on Sundays.

When I can't find something, I find it easier to go buy another unless it's really expensive.

Joesmom, you are my idol too! I straighten the room after I finish each project. Put away all the thread, rulers, scraps, and anything I used. Sounds good, huh? BUT, I am always buying fabric, patterns, books, kits, etc. and that gets piled on every flat surface in the sewing room. I am in the process of spring cleaning right now, and all rooms will get a good cleaning, especially the sewing room. That will last a good long time, because I don't usually buy much sewing stuff in the summer. I dust and dust mop fairly often.

I usually have several projects going at once so cleaning after I finish on doesn't work. I usually clean when I can't stand the mess anymore.

I do it randomly as I feel I must. I try to get to it after I finish the last project but I'm always so anxious to start the next one it seems that it doesn't always happen. For me I have my ongoing filing issues that shares space with my quilting books and scissors which seems like never gets caught up so right now I have a paper mess in that area. And I need to pick up all the unusable scraps that will fill dog beds etc so right now I'm in the middle of the 'clean because I must' time. Thanks a lot for reminding me (ugh).
