    Well, considering it takes me about 30 minutes to clean one room in my house. It will probably take me about three hours to clean my house from top to bottom. I would rather do little clean ups here and there throughout the day. That way when it does come time to "clean". Then everything would be in their proper order.

    I have never cleaned our house as a whole, but when I vacuum my room or clean my windows then it usually takes me an hour or more to do it.

    Depending on your definition of clean, anywhere between 10 minutes to 8 hours. :)

    I think 3 hours should do it. Our house isn't that big but it gets dusty pretty quick. We're not really home a lot on the weekdays so it doesn't get all that dirty.

    It usually takes me about 2 hours to clean my house cause I take all kinda breaks. The phone is a total distraction. I usually get through fast if I turn on my favorite music where it keeps me moving and dancing. I love when it time to clean house I have to do it on a off day. So when I do I like to enjoy it cause I love the smell of a fresh clean house.

    I am a bit of a clean freak. I also like everything to be organzied. Because of those two things, it takes me about three hours to clean my two bedroom, two bathroom home. I begin by dusting everything! I then clean all of the mirrors and windows with Windex. I then scrub all the countertops.
    I begin in the kitchen, and then work my way to each bathroom. The bathrooms are time consuming because I scrub the toilets, mop the floors and spray air sanitizers. The kitchen is also very time consuming. I wipe everything down with lysol wipes. I usually finish up by vacuuming the entire house.
    I usually just crank up the music and jam out while I am cleaning. I also like to finish by lighting some scented candles.

    Usually around 3-4 hours to do a decent job, probably only happens a few times a month but I do like to stay on top and things and have a nice and tidy house.

    I do the same so it's hard to say really. Over the week I only spend a few hours really, maybe not even that. Sometimes if I'm de-cluttering or something like that then I might spend a considerable amount of time cleaning, but generally it's not too much. Just a vacuum of all the carpets, and a cleaning of the kitchen/bathroom.

    I recently moved, so it currently takes me an hour to clean the place, but that's because I haven't really finished moving all my stuff in, and we haven't really gotten the place dirty yet.
    When the rest of our furniture gets moved over here, it'll probably take me 2 or 3 hours to clean under everything and dust all the small items.
