Are you a good housekeeper?

I was just wondering how many of you are good housekeepers. I am not and at 42 have decided to quit appoligizing for it. I always blamed it on the fact that I(and my 2 sisters) were raised by a widowed father who was doing the very best he could. All three of us are bad housekeepers.

I must admit - I'm a clean freak - but with my asthma and Loki's asthma, I have to be!

My husband has a slight case of OCD, and can't stand a messy house. We've decided to be partners in the cleaning process. In fact in a few moments I will log off TCS and give my kitchen a good scrub down.

I am okay...I hate a messy place, so usually my place is tidy...BUT the actual areas that get ignored alot I am bad at keeping up with...(ex: vacuuming under the couch)...

I would say I am pretty good though.

Are you nuts? My house could qualify for a dog's agility class course in a dog show.

There are just too many other things in life to spend my time doing than housework. It's way low on my list of priorities.

I'll not go to my grave thinking: if I'd just swept my floor more often, LOL!

However, I do admire those that have the mindset and the skills to keep a spotless home. I like going to your homes to visit.

It would just take me all day every day and then some to be able to match that level of cleanliness. I'm hopeless, lol.

I was a lot better when we had a cleaning lady, but we had to let her go because she lept locking Sophia in my closet
I need music when I am cleaning it's a good motivator!!! And when company is coming!!

Love this, can I use it

Most of the time yes I am not like I used to ne though, plus I clean for other people so it gets a tad bit old

I don't like to do housework but I do it all the time. It drives me crazy when my home is a mess.

Yep, you sure can.

Don't trip on the dust bunnies.

I hate housework too, there's so many more interesting things to be doing, like going on TCS!

But then again I hate to have a messy house so I do have to do housework.

I can be when I feel like it. I think Im somewhere in the middle

I'm not a neat freak.My house is fairly clean but lived in. I vacumm daily pick up and keep the kitchen clean bed mades. But you will find that closets and cup boards could be neater.

Absolutely not. I prefer to live in my own filth. Unless I have a girlfriend at the time in which case I will make everything nice.

I just wish I could get a little help around here from the cat. I do not expect him to scrub or wax the floors but you would think he would at least arrange his room when I tell him company is coming over.
