What Room in Your Home Do You Want to Be the Cleanest???

Everyone has a "Favorite Room" in the house. A room that you want to be clean, presentable and enjoy being in. Which room would that be for you?

For me, I like to have a clean kitchen and living room. I don't keep any toys in the main areas of the house b/c I just enjoy having a place to go that I can relax and not worry about tripping over any kid stuff.

Also, the kitchen is the most central room in the house. So it only makes sense to have it picked up on a regular basis and not smelling like rotting food or looking at dirty dishes laying around.

What do ya'll think???

What can I do next?

As for cleanest, I think germs. So kitchen is tops for me, followed by bathroom. Nothing more disgusting that those two rooms being dirty. Otherwise, I try to keep everything in presentable shape all the time. But then, I was raised by neat freaks, so there ya go :)

My kitchen. I can't stand it being messy, but for some reason it always is! lol. I want the dishes done and cleaned up before I prepare the next meal.
I love when my room is clean too. I sleep better, I swear!

My kitchen and livingroom need to be clean for me to have a smile on my face. If they are all mesy and dirty I am in a pissy mood until I have the time to clean it up. Clutter is one thing (that doesnt bother me too much because it is just my DD's toys all over the place) but actual dirt and a mess drives me bonkers

Ditto as you would! A messy bedroom is okay with me, but I can't stand a messy and cluttered kitchen. I have to make sure all the platforms are clean and all dishes in the washer before we sleep at night!

1) Kitchen is where the food is at, it needs to be clean!
2) Bathrooms are where we go to get clean, and I can't see how we can get clean in a dirty place.
Other than those two rooms, I'm pretty laid back.

I like the kitchen to be clean for health reasons - who wants to eat food prepared in a nasty kitchen?

And we have to keep the bedroom dusted and vac'd - husband is allergic to animal dander and we currently have 4 dogs and 10 cats residing in our house (some ours and some guests).

I only have four rooms - kitchen, bedroom, bath, and livingroom, not counting the closet and hallway. I like the kitchen to be the cleanest, I just feel better about food coming from a clean, mostly organized space. Our livingroom is also our playroom, so it does get cluttered at times with toys, books, and things. I'm OK with the lived-in look!

We gave up the ghost and turned our living room into the playroom. That way the kids toys can't migrate and live in the other rooms. ... So why do I still have jigsaw puzzles on the kitchen floor? Arrrrrgh!

You walk in my front door right next to the kitchen, but you are only 3 feet away from the living room with a clear view or the diningroom too. 3 steps and you can see the play area at the far end of the living room. Its like one big long room with a short wall in the center dividing the kitchen from the rest so I want it all clean! The kitchen is small, but when its clean I always feel like the rest of the house is managable. HA. who am I kidding,,lol...

Kitchen and dining area are my top pick. I keep them the cleanest because we spend so much time in there and it is where we prepare food and eat. All rooms are picked up before bed, but cleaning is another story...

My Kitchen first - I get up really early to work and sit at my kitchen counter. I cannot think if it is a mess.

My Living Room is called the pretty room - this is so I have a room for people to sit in and chat that isn't kid invaded.

My Bedroom - This is a no toy zone. I love to have my kids come in and watch a show or read books with me but I feel great having a little sanctuary to come to that is just mine.

The Bathrooms - I do a quick "lick and a prayer" on these every day. I just like a clean bathroom.

So that leaves my torture areas, which are the sunroom (where all the kids toys are) and the family room where we all gather as a family (needs to be picked up daily, husband is the worst)

Enjoy!

When you first walk in, you see my living room and playroom, so those are what I keep the main focus on, but my hardest room to keep clean is my kitchen which is all white tile. I have to sweep like 5 times a day!!

answers from Richmond on

Like you, my living room and kitchen have to be clean... AND the screen porch. We don't use our front door, so people walk through the screen porch (which I've attempted to make look like another living room, with chairs and tables and an outdoor couch)... I'm not saying it has to be CLEAN, just TIDY, for the love of everything holy I'd like one week to go by without having to clean these 3 rooms every waking minute of every day!! Our house is SO SMALL, so the clutter builds in the blink of an eye :(

kitchen for me because i love to cook and bake so I always like a clean place. Also the living room because that is what all my guest see. I do let the kids bring in toys but everyone picks up their items several times a day in order to keep the living room clean.

Ummmm....

Well, NONE of these singly, but here's my order for cleaning:

- Kitchen
- Bath
- Living
- Dining
- Front porch (my escape)

Keep in mind my entire first floor = kitchen/bath/living/dining = 500 square feet. I've had bedrooms bigger than my house. If ANY area on that floor is a mess "everything" is contaminated.
