Are you a fanatic about housecleaning?

[terrya]

I'm not a complete slob...I sure as hell don't have food on the floor or stuff like that...but I do have a "relaxed" attitude about housecleaning.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. I am fanatical about trying to avoid it whenever I can.

I used to be rather good at it because MrG liked a clean house. Now, sometimes we have a new small puppy due to all the Jessie hair that rolls over into the corner. I don't have "biological mess" per se', just clutter mess.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. that would be me...no biological mess, just clutter mess

laundry here
books there, some dishes that need to be swapped out in the dishwasher.

My current excuse..I've been sickly for the last 3 days.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i am a compromise.

when i had my own studio it was spotless. lisas apartment was a nightmare.

now that we live together and after a year i have gotten the apartment into some sort of order, its somewhat untidy but regularly vacuumed etc

:shrug:

[NMDemDist2]

3. I'm pretty relaxed

until I go into an anal "My GOD!! this place is a STY!!!" frenzy


:rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

4. I think I'm borderline fanatic...

but every now and then, my give a fuck meter breaks, and I go slob for about a week.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. do you want to visit me in one of your fanatical weekends?

[Broken_Hero]

10. Sure,

:D

not!


:hide:

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

5. No. I wish I were more fanatical about it, though.

I have a friend who is a complete freak about cleaning. Her house is absolutely immaculate at all times. Her kids are totally neurotic.

[Fox Mulder]

7. Hell no.

[BarenakedLady]

8. Let me catch my breath for a minute.

The question made me laugh hysterically.

:rofl:

I've been really trying lately though.

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. I am

I'm one of those everything in it's place kind of person. My friends will come over and move things around slightly just to get on my nerves. I usually give everything a thorough cleaning at least once a week whether it needs it or not

[bigwillq]

11. No

But my mom is..always has been..and sometimes it's very annoying.

[Shell Beau]

12. I am pretty fanatical about it.

Especially my white ceramic tile floors. I sweep and mop every day. Sickening, I know. But I do have 2 dogs, so they contribute lots of dirt and hair to the floors.

[Broken_Hero]

16. No doubt about the sweeping/mopping when you got dogs

we got two full grown poms, and five pups...all I do all day is sweep up hair, and mop piss....

[LadyoftheRabbits]

13. Ask anyone who knows me

Fanatic might begin to describe it. :P

[redqueen]

14. Nope.

I seem to be all right with moderate amounts of clutter.

I don't like clothes on the floor or things like that... but paperwork / mail I seem to be more lax about. Much more lax.

[Critters2]

15. My mom was a total fanatic. She's been dead 3 years, so

apparently I'm in a permanent state of rebellion.

[AlCzervik]

17. no but clutter makes me crazy. I just got rid of a bunch of "What the hell was i thinking"

accessories aka dust catchers, i should have pitched the whole lot right after i bought them.

[tekisui]

18. Tidy, but not necessarily clean.

I keep it neat, but the deep cleaning slides by me.

[Mutley]

19. I'm not a slob either.

But I do generate a lot of clutter. And I don't dust as often as I should since I sneeze uncontrollably for hours every time I do it.

I am weird about vacuuming. I hate for the carpet to be dirty. :D

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. I am fanatical about not doing it.

[femmocrat]

21. A spotless house = a wasted life.

Better things to do, IMO.

[LiberalEsto]

22. I wash the kitchen floor

twice a year, whether it needs it or not.

[dana_b]

28. ew!!

so are you saving stuff under the oven for Christmas or something?? ;-)

[LiberalEsto]

32. As Phyllis Diller once said

"Cleaning the house while the kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk while it's still snowing."

:evilgrin:

[zanne]

34. When was the last time you ate off the floor? Twice a year is plenty. nt

[YellowRubberDuckie]

24. I need to hire a fanatic.

We are a bit lazy with the housework.

[stuntcat]

25. I just like to know where things are

Everything in the house has a place and I like for it to be there so I can find it. It's how I learned to deal with confusion. So at first glance it looks neat here but there's a layer of dust on most stuff. And I hate to sweep, it hurts my back so bad.

[texanwitch]

26. I have given up trying to be super clean, or even a lilttle clean.

I do clean up but it is when I get to it.

My knee has been acting up so I have a excuse.

[dana_b]

27. I want to be

but I have to admit, I'm lazy when I get home from work. It doesn't help living with a teenager, but I could make her clean up more if I got on her more. ho hum.

[LeftyMom]

29. I have a seven year old boy. If I cared too much about the cleaning, I'd be on valium.

I try to keep the place reasonably tidy, enough that it could be fit for guests on fairly short notice, but I'm not fanatical about it.

[orleans]

30. am i a fanatic about housecleaning? hahaha. no. n/t

[Xipe Totec]

31. My cousin came to visit

treated me and my spouse to dinner in the North End.

Complained that with the price of gas, they won't be taking their 50 ft yacht out of dry dock this summer...

and, oh, yes...

She won't be calling the window cleaner to clean the 17 windows in their penthouse quite as often as last year...

:eyes:

[datasuspect]

33. i've issued a fatwa against household disorder

and will wage jihad against uncleanliness. i am disrespectful to dirt.

[mikeytherat]

38. Are you Mr. Sparkle?

"I will banish dirt to the land of wind and ghosts."

[Call Me Wesley]

35. Geez, thanks for reminding me

to clean my bathroom today. x(

;)

[terrya]

36. I KNEW you'd forget, CMW.

Man, the things I have to do around here. :-)

[Call Me Wesley]

39. LOL!

:hi:

[JVS]

37. Fanatically opposed to it!
