Clean freak or super slob?

[winterborn86]

This thread is about how tidy you keep your homes, i just came up with the idea of this thread when i looked at the mess in my lil girls room, seriously it looks like I've had 10 kids in there not one.
So what type of person are you? Do you like to live in a mess or do you like thing neat and organized, or are you a little bit in between?

For me, I'm in between, i hate a big mess cos i get frustrated over it, but im not overly neat or organized, i like things to be up out up out the way and looking tidy but i don't have a special spot for every item in my home. My problem is, that i don't stay on top of things, I have to be motivated to really get into the cleaning, music up loud aswell.

Also what is your favorite or most disliked chore? Mine most disliked one is the hoovering, it takes up to much of my energy and i have to put up with my daughter screaming cos the hoover scares her lolz, but my favorite chore is the laundry, all i got to is stick in the dirty washing, press a few buttons and away we go

I'm the only person in my house that cleans. The reason being that everybody that I live with leaves food, dirty dishes, and empty bottles and cans, all around the house with no intention of ever picking them up. All of that, unknown to them, attracts ants. I can't tell you how many times I've had to spray for ants. I hate when the house is dirty, because it smells like shit. Nobody else seems to give a damn, though, so I try my hardest to keep it clean, and they try their hardest to **** it up. It's a vicious circle.

[Pete]

I'm somewhere in between. I try to keep my area clean, but after a day or two I just get lazy and soon enough I'll stop putting my dirty clothes in the hamper. Usually when I get out of bed and wind up tripping on something, I'll just take the pile and dump it in. Everything else almost always in order. I'll have my games and dvd's lined up on the bookshelf (in no particular order), and everything else is in some sort of designated spot, but it won't drive me nuts if anything's moved. It does however drive me nuts if I can't find what I'm looking for. I hate that more than anything.

[Furore]

I try to be fairly clean, but I notice I don't bother so much when I've got a deal of work to do. That said, my room looks fairly clean apart from my CD cases huddled around the TV and my 360, a pile of non-dirty worn clothes on a chair near my clothes wardrobe, and some frequently used items such as my phone, keys, wallet, watch, rings, gum packet etc next to my door on top of my drawers.

My least favourite chore is likely dusting. Just as I don't do it often, so there's usually a bit of dust to remove when I do get around to it. Doesn't help I have a thing for incense which seems to send a deal of dust around when used a few times.

[Knox]

I think I'm a mix of both. I don't really care. It's usually clean but my bed is NEVER made, only on some occasions.

[Sinister]

I'm a freak about cleanliness so far as it extends to dust, grime, dirt, dirty clothes, mildew, mold, old food and ect... But as far as clutter, I'm only moderate... I just ask that I can walk through a room. Nothing in my chair, nothing on my bed, nothing on my desk...

[Lunasa]

Gah, you've got me here. When it comes to my room, I'm an absolute and complete slob. I'm only in the computer lab because my desk is so cluttered I cannot clear a 8" x 11" space to do homework on. Though, my roommate is not very encouraging- she cannot clear a space to sleep at night, and her boxers and stuff are everywhere. I ended up doing half her laundry because our laundry blended somehow.

At work, though, I'm so meticulous, that everyone thinks I have a schedule and no life, and a spotless bedroom. I straighten shoes for my entire college life, and I have this tick that it really bothers me to see one out of place. Or it bothers me to see any clutter in the work environment. Hence why I vacate at times when homework should be getting done.

[Priscilla]

It depends where I am.
In my room I can't sleep if it's really messy. It just bothers me a lot so I spend my nights cleaning. But it never gets too bad. Usually just shoes not put away and a few bits and bobs lying around. I hate not making my bed because it looks untidy but I only make it look made.. I don't do it properly.

Usually in the house I am the only one who picks up after themselves. With the exception of my Mother occasionally. So my house is never too clean. That said when anyone at all comes over I always clean it spotless. So it depends.

My locker at school is a mess though =[
But I don't care for school.

I am a self confessed neat-and-clean freak. Blame my mother. I cannot stand clutter in my room or mess. Everything is organised and has it's own spot. I use lots of shelves, cupboards and storage containers, so my room looks quite empty. Bed is always made, clothes packed away neatly (Unless I'm in a rush) and things WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. I can't stand it when someone puts something away for me, but it's in the wrong place. If there is mess, it's on the floor and is generally a pair of shoes, my school bag or school work I'm doing. As for the rest of the house, I usually clean up after myself. My house is generally neat and tidy, and ALWAYS clean in the bacteria, grime, dirt sense. Mother is vigilant. She detests germs. I share that hate. So yeah. Rocco = clean freak.

[Rikkuffx]

I'm inbetween. I'm not a neat freak but i'm not ahuge slob. But sometiemes I do get into the neat feeling and just feel the need to be neat and clean and just tidy things up then soemtimes i'm just liek blah i dont feel like cleaning but i really should. lol so i guess i'm just inbetween because i can be a slob at times and otehr times i clean like crazy.

I live in my own cack most of the time. I remember, last year, the first time I hoovered. It made my room look completely different, because I'd been living there for about three and a half months before the hoover happened. I can't count how many things I've broken, CD cases in particular, when they've fallen to the floor, I've left them there, and then accidentally stood on them. My mum used to accuse me of keeping my room messy to hide drugs and things.

I'm a bit better these days, because I don't have my own room anymore. I have this houseproud thing; I don't mind being in my own mess, but I won't have others in it. So now that I'm sharing space with my boyfriend, I'm tending to be a bit cleaner. He still calls me a slob, but I pick lots of things up and make the bed, so I think he's just teasing.

I need music to clean. Preferably Joe Cocker. Can't do without it. I detest ironing. I quite like hoovering, since there's an opportunity in there for a little dance with the hoover provided you're alone.

[ChloChloAriadne]

I'm a clean freak, but in a hygeine way, not a mess way.

My room's quite messy. There's books stacked up anywhere but in the bookshelf, clean clothes that haven't been folded/put in drawers, and clutter everywhere.

But it's CLEAN. No muck or severe dust or anything. Completely hygeinic mess. ^^;

Unfortunately, my room right now looks like it’s been inhabited by some sort of slobbering troll on crack. There’s a half-eaten apple rotting away underneath my bed spreading an intoxicating smell throughout my bedroom, obvious remnants of defecation on my un-cleaned toilet-seat and unwashed underwear, a strange green-mould spreading on my dishes and a hamster-cage that hasn’t been cleaned out for at least 3 months. I should really clean that out just in case I get a call from the RSPCA. Reading some of the replies in this thread has really inspired me to clean out my room. I’ll buy some Gif and Mr Muscle from Tesco tonight, and probably some washing-up liquid too, go straight home get on my hands and knees like a housewife and begin cleaning my room like a madman possessed. By the time tomorrow comes my bedroom will be so clean I’ll be able to invite the Pope round for a nice cup of tea.

My room tends to stay pretty clean most of the time, as if it gets too messy then I have trouble sleeping at night, even after working myself to sleep or otherwise. The office/game room that I end up using a lot stays clean as well. I like to take care of that kind of stuff. I don't even bring anything to eat or drink in that room, with the exception of water, so I'm a stickler in that department. My car? Thats probably the messiest part EVER. I have procrastinated to cleaning that place out for the longest time now, so it's due to clean.

[OceanEyes28]

Ohhh dear. My one flaw (har har). I tend to get a little cluttered in my bedroom. My desk will have papers all over it, and sometimes I organize my clothes in odd ways (over chairs, over headboards, etc) if I've worn them, but they're not dirty. I avoid anything like spoiled food, though. I'd hate having to wash a moldy cup or plate later. I just lost a new pair of headphones, though, so I think it's time to get organized again.

Funny, though, because my kitchen is spotless. I always clean up after myself, and frequently after other people. And before I go to bed, I spray the kitchen counters and wipe them clean for the next morning. I do not like a messy kitchen.

[Maridia]

I'm clean almost always about how I keep a room looking and where things go. I have 2 tiny screws I need to find every year when I put in my AC, but i can find them in 10 seconds when I need to. Since I'm asthmatic I started dusting my own room in 4th grade which just made me start to organize things and every since I do it without even thinking. The only time I let stuff get messy is when company is over for a day or more and I hate being rude and picking up in front of others while we're hanging out so I leave it to look however it goes until they leave and I go to do it again.

[Djinn]

Ohhh dear. My one flaw (har har).

I'm pretty clean most of the time, unless i'm ill XD. I always clean the kitchen after i use it aswell, probably comes from when i worked in the restaurant >.>;. Although my desk does go through waves of being dirty and clean, sometimes its spotless and other times its unrecognizable.

[Chez Daja]

I'm fairly messy. I mean, my bed is covered in clothes... not that I sleep in my bed anyway. It's cold since Andrew left so I'm leaving it til he comes back and we'll reheat it, lolz.

My desk is always messy, too. Other than that, I'm neat. And not dirty, either. I don't like food and smells left to their own accord. I just wash as I go along and it's all good.

[Usagy]

Meh I don't clean often, but don't make a too big mess out of it, if it needs to be done I do it, but enough to make it proper, not supertidy or anything, just normal I guess.
Blargh! I hate cleaning..it is the #1 cause of aids in the world

Peace out

[~FANTASY-ENDER~]

I was a neat freak until the last year or so since I came back from my last deployment. I've kind of been a little sloppy on my cleaning habits and I've been to busy with work and I'm getting ready for my next deployment.

[Asectic]

Someone actually had to ask this, didnt they? ...

Allthough people usually see me as a "smart" or neat freak, at school, at home.. O.O Omg, such a super slob. Whenever someone comes, I have to clean like hell otherwise... yeah, u'd get the point. People will think I'm unorganized and such and .. yeah, I'd really want to change that, just that I need everything out otherwise I tihnk I lost it.

[Yesha]

I'm a super messy person.. I'm Like.. after an hour I can't remember where did I put my things up.. hahahaha! My parents aLways teaching me to be neat and organized but I can't reaLLy get use to it.. Oh! My room's not that dirty.. 'coz my mom tries to vacuum it once a day.. 'coz my cat sLeeps there too.. but it just kinda unorganized..

[You]

Im kinda in the middle. Im not a clean freak but im not a slob. I like things to be tidy but im not that bothered if they arent neat. So ill clean every once in a while when the need arises. My girlfriend, who I live with, on the other hand rarely ever cleans. Her stuff is everywhere, clothes papers, whatever. So I usually end up cleaning them, but its no problem since she does most of the cooking^^

[Rasler+]

I'm pretty much a clean freak, probably because my parents taught me to be one. I didn't really come from a wealthy family, so chores were like a game for us siblings; like seeing who gets to clean a certain room the fastest, and watering the plants while getting ourselves wet in the process. My dad was my usual play mate when I was a kid... and I still am ^^

But now in college, I only have a little dorm but it's pretty clean, if I do say so myself. It's already beginning to feel like a girl's room, to be honest. Probably because I get easily distracted by a little mess. I think it's a good habit, though. I don't have to worry about anything going missing or something.

[Ulteka Mako]

I would have to say that I am not a slob. I am also not a clean freak. But I do take pride in the way I dress and the way I look. I like my living area to be clean also. I don't want to bring a fine female in my house and it be a dump.

[DragonHeart]

Clutter is really my main failing. When things are actually dirty I usually get annoyed enough looking at it to clean up after a day or two. I also hate dusting though so I don't do that very often unless I'm in clean freak mode. My mom usually vacuums for me even though I'd get around to it myself if she didn't. I just don't do it often cause I hate lugging the beast of a vacuum up the stairs. Too much like work.

So while my room is usually more or less clean, I tend to have a lot of clutter hanging around. Like right now I have a pile of books, magazines, a CD, and some random little things on my coffee table. The table itself is clean, it just has a bunch of stuff on it. Same for my chair. My bed has about three baskets worth of clean clothes on it, which is unusual for me. Usually the only thing on my bed is maybe a towel or two and the cat.

My computer desk is the only area where things may get a little dirty. Maybe a couple of coffee mugs and some snack wrappers, but I usually clean all that up at least once a week. I'm pretty lazy so even if it annoys me I rarely do it right away. I always have cleaner on hand though, so it's not like I have actual dirt everywhere.

Of course, once every month or so I go into clean freak mode and go through my entire room just cleaning and organizing everything. I'm about due for one of those actually, as I need to get that laundry put away at some point.
