I try to always leave a clean house, even if I'm just going out for the day.

If I am going away for a few days, which I hate to do, I just can't stand the thought of coming back to a messy house. I want to be able to relax.

My house gets cleaned everyday! My mom is a neat freak! Everything must be clean before going out anywhere!

I ALWAYS leave a clean house! LOL! I'm probably anal about it! I'd rather be late than leave my bed un-made, or dirty dishes in the sink!

The bigger question would be do you ever manage to clean the house at all?

I only give the house a major cleaning when we leave for 2 or more days cause the M.I.L. must come over and feed the cats.

I personally don't mind my messy house but I don't like visitors seeing it.

Love your pictures, Tamme! I'm a sucker for orange cats so I'm madly in love with Roo.

I think this "clean house when you go out" thing is a lot like the "clean underwear" thing. My mother always said that she wanted her house to be clean when she went out in case she got in an accident and someone had to come to her house and get her things because she was in the hospital!!
Not unlike the wear clean underwear incase you get hurt and taken to the hospital mentality!!

Even if I'm gone for a few days, I clean my apartment. I don't know why, because my neighbor, who takes care of Ivo, has seen my place when it was a wreck. I guess I do it because I like to come and not have to worry about cleaning for a few days. The last thing I want to do when I come home is wade through dust bunnies!
