    I'm one of those "My House Was Clean Yesterday, You Should Have Seen It" kind of people. Although if we're having people over for a special dinner or something then I'll clean like my life depended on it.

    I like it clean. Very clean. But, since I am the one doing it (today, again), I have gotten lax. I don't wipe the trim down every week like I used to and I don't Swiffer every few days. I do have a very clean kitchen sink. We never have dishes waiting to be washed or in the sink. Ever. I hand wash them or put them immediately in the dish washer. I clean the toilets at least every other day.

    My husband wouldn't notice if mold were growing on the mattress.

    I guess I could be a slob. But if I were, I couldn't sleep. I'd obsess about what I needed to do.

    Clean ......yes via regular chore schedule handed down from my great grandma who was mother to 13.

    Orderly all the time....no

    Yknot ......of the ottoman and coffee table secretly stores toys class.

    Years ago, I did a needle-point of "A home should be clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy"

    I love that quote...

    I can't stand clutter, so try and keep things picked up thru out the day.

    The heavy type of cleaning, eh... I'll get to it when I feel like it.

    Depends... do I have a man to keep the house clean for me? Then it's very important. If I have to do it myself it might suffer a bit. ;)

    As long as my abode never looks like this I think I'm doing pretty good:

    Jonesy, Great picture (shudder) Looks very comfy and lived in. No pretentions. Matha Stewart would be proud.

    Perhaps if I find a beautiful Thai woman that would help me keep the house clean.

    Hmm, some beautiful Thai women may even make the ads on this page more lovely.

    ...er, maybe dating a Russian lady would motivate me to keep a clean house?

    Am I the only one that gets tons of dating ads on these pages?

    And ads for white teeth. I've already got beautiful white teeth.

    Anyway, I'm a dude and a clean home is important.

    I'm not a cleaning fantatic but we do regular house cleaning. My husband is retired and all he wants to do is wants to do is watch TV all the time and expects me to sit and watch it too. It really kills our cleaning that is for sure. I have to admit our house was cleaner when he was working and at home all the time. I know many women with retired husband deal with the same thing. Clean house is important but it takes cooperation.
