I dust everyday cause I have an alergy to dust.I don't like to feel like I'm living in a sterile hospital setting but on the other hand I don't want to be ashamed to let people in my home.

My sis-in-law lives in a super clean home and it makes me feel very uncomfortable when I go visit.

Geeee Betty....I thought I cleaned. You iron your sheets? I just turn the dryer on to get all the wrinkles out.laugh I do the laundry as needed...a few times a week. But there is only my son and I at home. My whole house, in general, gets cleaned every 2 weeks. I don't have the traffic coming through that you do though. I'm teaching my son to pick up after himself and I do the same. That helps to lengthen the time in between cleanings. I make my bed daily, wash dishes as needed (usually daily).

I guess with the amount of people that you have coming through your house, it may be necessary to do what you do. You don't work outside the home, do you?

When your family comes over to visit do they help clean up as for helping with the dishes etc.Or do they end leaving you with the whole mess? When I have company over they help without me having to ask them.

I live by myself so I only to have to really pick up after myself.

I make my bed when I get up in the morning.Dust because of my alergy,vacuum everyday,sweep and mop the kitchen floor.

You are over the top on SOME of the stuff, but not all.
A clean place to live is the least one should expect. I used to be obsessively clean and I would even pick up little stuff off the carpet as I walked to the kitchen or bathroom, now THAT's over the toplaugh
There are things you say you do everyday that really don't need to be done that often, but then again, if you can squeeze all that cleaning during your day, more power to ya grin

I don't know if that's laziness or a compulsionlaugh

Lint off the socks, a piece of mulch...things like that. It drives me crazy. Once you pick it up, the floor looks clean again.laugh
If we are at the house a lot during the week, I will vacuum once a week. When I stay at school all day, the house doesn't get very dirty and so I wait an extra week. If I get bored, I might do it sooner. I can't stand a dirty house.
