We hire a crew of people to do it for us while we veg in the lounge drinking slurpees and skimming through old family albums.

Glad to see we’re not the the only house where it takes 2 hrs , even if we’re the minority. We have a big house and my husb literally checks everything . Kids stay up late and I get so antsy. But I should know already that this is how it is. It’s all from a good place.

About twenty minutes. 5 bedrooms 3 story house. Kids hid the bread and made adorable lists /pictures.of where they are so we don't forget any. Dh does look beyond the pieces but the house is basically clean and we have been pesachdig since Sunday.

You know? You got me thinking. But really, how would I know? I'd have to ask my crew.

By us it probably took 2-2.5 hrs
Couple of guys couple of kids
Large one floor
It begins with kids hiding and the list
Then everyone goes around looking for the hidden ones and checking everywhere...
Vacuum cleaners on, shovels, candles, flashlights
The kids stay up it’s a whole deal and it’s actuqlly beautiful!!!

2 1/2 hours for 2 bedroom home. We don’t hide bread. (We always find something - this year it was pretty small in a kids coat pocket).
DH checks every drawer and box and POCKET in our house. Then the cars. Goes through every medicine, cream, toiletrie left out to make sure it’s okay.
He also does lots of last minute tasks like wiping down door knobs and phones.

You can basically divide this thread between those whom work up until Pesach, and those whom have everything cooked and stored weeks before. LOL add in factors for young children, and really fussy people.

Usually a little over an hour for a medium size house (3.5 bedrooms). Hide and search for 10 pieces of bread but really search each room for chametz.
