What's your cadence for maintenance? Is there anything you think you should be doing more frequently? Is there anything you do extra proactively because you don't like seeing it left undone?

I'm also curious about how much time you spend taking care of your home and how that balances with the rest of your personal life, and how you share the load with other people you live with.

Two months ago or so, I started wiping my floors about twice a week with a damp cloth, because I've got dust mite allergy, and yeah, the clean surfaces are crazy. When I'm not wearing socks, I can easily tell, if I haven't wiped for a few days.

But also, everything else in my room collects dust much less quickly, I guess because I scoop it off the floor before it can settle everywhere else.
And my floor now also has this shine to it, which always makes it look like I'm trying to sell the place.

Exactly, walking on dusty floors gets stuff on your feet after a while. And after a night of sleep, at least in my house, the ac will have blown a lil bit of dust on the floor.

Once its cleaned the wooden flooring feels almost sticky because it cleans your feet as you walk instead of making it dirtier.

Every 2-3 days I walk around the house pushing a swiffer mop and it has helped a ton with keeping dust at bay.
