Cleaning My home.....GF Laughed

Crazy? No. Super-duper clean? Yes.

You clean a hell of a lot more than I do, too, but it's your house & if you're happy with it the way it is, I say more power to you!

No, you're not. That all sounds like perfectly normal cleaning procedures to me. Now come do mine, because I'm too lazy to be normal.

No, you're not crazy. Just have more time on your hands than I do. :)

Not at all. Sounds about right to me. I mean, people poop in there for goodness sakes.

Now if you were down on the kitchen floor with a toothbrush daily, we might need to talk.

wow that's what i would LOVE to do but life gets in the way. i think your house is probably cleaner than most but unless you're obsessive about it, i'd say that's a great thing. i'm always wishing i had the discipline to keep the house as clean as i want it to be!

not crazy, but maybe a tad obsessive. I used to be like you, but somewhere along the way I decided if my house wasn't so perfect I could relax a little and have more time to spend with my kids. Clean is great. Pin neat...... maybe too much.

Um...no. Sounds pretty normal to me.

She's obviously NOT busy enough and lazy! LOL

3 moms found this helpful

Nope...not crazy...but WAY cleaner than my house!

3 moms found this helpful

no - you aren't crazy......I wish I could keep up that way like you do!! Kudos to you!!

2 moms found this helpful

heck no!!! Thats what we do, but I don't have a shower curtain only a door so I don't have to worry about that part. I am with you - if electricity and water were not an issue I would be washing sheets like crazy mad! I love Clean Sheet Friday (I have a name for it b/c I LOVE the feeling of clean fresh sheets).

2 moms found this helpful

You are definitely right - I just don't do it, due to laziness

2 moms found this helpful

Can I come live with you? LOL! No, you are not crazy, you just like a clean house. So do I. I wish I had the time to make it so! Unless your family is suffering because all you do is clean, then no, I don't think you are crazy.

2 moms found this helpful

No - spot on.
If you don't do the weekly wiping/washing of these areas - so dusty/dirty and full of hair - bleck!

I just think you are young and energetic and full of clean expectations. I was this way in my 20's and 30's..not so in my 50's. I let it all go...

Sheets are done every couple of weeks.
Towels are done every couple of weeks, maybe weekly...hey, we're clean when we get out.
I finally hired a cleaning service, and they come every 2 weeks.
I do keep my own kitchen spic and span and shiny. I clean the microwave out often. Polish the sink. Light a candle when I'm not cooking.

Yep, you do a lot more than most. Perhaps you should start your own cleaning service with that kind of thoroughness?

I think that is a great schedule that you have and keeps everything from ever really getting dirty so a easy quick cleaning is what you probably end up doing each time. Keep up the good work and get your GF onboard!

yes. i wash when dirty not just because of the date. but f you feel you should and want to then go ahead. i don't think you do it too often just not as often as i or many may do them. of course there are many that wash things more often than you too.

i just feel that i'd rather spend my life doing something other than cleaning every day.

1 mom found this helpful

I think it's awesome that you clean like that. Thats how it should be! Lol.

I do the same things too, and dont think you are crazy, in fact, I have been trying to motivate myself all day to do that, and so I thank you :)
Off to clean I go!

1 mom found this helpful

No, you're not. You're a gem, a rare diamond among men. You're GF should appreciate you more.

1 mom found this helpful

Sounds right to me. I have a dog and cat and sometimes I vacuuma twice a day. I clean the bathroom weekly, wash the sheets, etc. And I thought I was a little under par, now I'm feeling good! :)

1 mom found this helpful

No, your clean. I only wish I could find the time - I would love it!

1 mom found this helpful

Heck no! I think you & I were seperated at birth! I do the same things. Some of us just notice dirt & grime more than others. To me cleaning is like thearpy. If i had a bad day, oddly enough cleaning something makes me feel better.

Similar to what I do.

Bathroom
- Toilet every day (I have boys in the house)
- Plastic shower curtain in the machine once a week w/ bleach
- Floor once a week
- Tub once a week
- Mirrors and cabinets once a week

- Sheets and towels get washed once a week

Part of my 'morning chores' (before school starts) is to dustmop them (like you, we have a dog who sheds constantly... in the spring the dustmop picks up enough hair for a new dog every day!) and wash them. Ditto I'm washing the counters at least once a day. Technically my morning chores are "Floors, counters, start a load of laundry" Takes me about 20 minutes every morning.

My house is a rumble/tumble disaster.

Those things above are just things I do to keep it livable / not gross.

mmmmm.... a little bit, but that's just me.

I never take down the shower curtain - I just spray it down with vinegar. I only wipe down doors and drawer fronts when I see something splattered on them.
I vaccuum the rugs and sweep the floors every few days - lots of dogs and cats. I mop once a week unless something nasty gets spilled.
Toilets get brushed out once a week.

I wish i was that kind of crazy

1 mom found this helpful

Yes, you're crazy.

But more importantly are you for hire :)

(Nah, you're really not that bad. Just more thorough than most, and the type of 'thorough' I wish I was)

1 mom found this helpful

If you have the time why not. I always want to clean my shower curtain but the other laundry gets in the way. I should sweep everyday with the two dogs but I am always running here there and everywhere.

1 mom found this helpful

no, you are not nuts until you start cleaning the walls with comet, i have heard of some woman trying that, claimed she wanted to sanitize the walls..creepy.

When I was a teenager I cleaned house for 10 different famlies and I scrubbed them from top to bottom. I used to keep my house spotless. I didnt have a job, and no kids the first 4 years we were married so I stayed home and cleaned all day. I was always cleaning doors and window sills, baseboards and light fixtures. I used to buy a new shower liner every few months but washed the outside pretty part every month. I kept the oven, stove, fridge and dishwasher looking like new. You could eat off my floor. Well, times changed! I did daycare for years and the house was clean enough to not scare away the parents but it was cluttered and had some cobwebs. I didnt keep up with it and figreprints and goo took over. Living in the same house for 33 years tends to make stuff collect and stack up and here we are now with dirt grime and junk surrounding us. I kept the daily stuff like dishes and laundry going. My kitchen isnt food poisen central, and the bathrooms are a couple steps above a gas station. I finally hired a young energetic gal to come help me once a month. She scrubs like I used to! She cleans the bathrooms, wiping down cabinet doors, the tops of the door frames, and 6 panels in the door, and tooth brushes around the faucet. As she does the floor on her knees, she gets the baseboards and walls around the toilet. When she does the kitchen she gets everything. Appliances, sink, walls, inside and out of the cabnet doors. I was really pleased to see how she did so much and shocked at how much I had let go. I feel caught up now and other than my own clutter from sewing and crafts I dont mind if company stops by now. The bathrooms are decent even days later, and I can do the dishes and the kitchen is ok. We use towels once, and sheets go in the wash every week or so if I remember. I think its great what you do, but I wonder if you will get burned out on scrubbing so much and someday find yourself just too darn tired of doing it all the time and hire someone to help. Back when I cleaned house for others I was paid (OMGosh this dates me) 50 cents per hour, and I was watching a house full of kids too. Now here I am paying a gal $20 an hour and all she has to do is the bathrooms and kitchen and yap with me the whole time! Well worth every penny too!

NO! There's nothing nicer than a clean home. Cleanliness is a wonderful gift to give yourself and your family. Kudos to you for having the time and energy to get it all done! I also change sheets once a week and wash the shower mats monthly and always wipe down the vanity doors/drawers. I'm spraying sticky hairspray in there every day.

NO! Not a single bit. You just reminded me that I need to get back on the cleaning ball. I've been sick all winter, so cleaning was the first thing to go. Now that I'm better and can actually breath while walking, I think I know what I'm doing tonight :D

If you are doing your "Cleaning" while your BF is there that is pretty rude & crazy. Maybe do all your chores before you have company so they dont laugh at you for doing it while you have visitor. Thats an idea or what was your question? Are you crazy...yes a little.
