belle,
my answers to your chores questions is very diverse for before-and-after-maid! wahhahahaa.
Before maid,
1. Bedsheet change - from 1mth to 3mths!
2. Sweep/vacuum - every week once, sometimes drag 2weeks
3. Got different cloth but hardly wipe!
After getting maid,
1. Bedsheet change - every 2weeks
2. Sweep using magiclean wiper everyday, vacuum once a week, mop twice a week
3. Many different cloths to wipe different things. I see my maid has a whole hangers full of cloth! Furniture, dishes, toys, floor, whatever..
