What part of your home do you always keep it clean? For me, I always make sure to keep the bathroom clean and dry. I make sure that it would always smell good and of course germ free. Next to it is the kitchen since it is where we prepare our food. I clean it regularly to make sure that there are no pest hiding around. The rest is just minimal cleaning.. How about you?

Hi cheatedaphrodite.. As for me, my favorite part of the house when it comes to cleaning is our family room.. I don't like seeing it dirty and feeling it dusty..Specially that I always stay in the room when I am at home.. And also the kitchen, and the dining area..I feel unhappy if I see it flowering with different kitchen utensils etc.. I like seeing it clean and dry and spacious all the time.. Also because I am usually the one in-charged of the cooking.. When I take a bath, I bring along the brush inside the bathroom and scrub the floor before I get to the usual taking a bath process.. I want to see the house clean all the time..So I make an effort for it.

yeah it's really a must to keep the whole house clean since it is where we secure ourselves. Just like you, I also clean the bathroom first before taking a bath. I make sure to scrub the floor and keep it dry after using it. I make sure to disinfect it everyday. I also make sure to bring out the garbage at the end of the day so the garbage collector would pick it up in the morning..

I love a nice and clean house.. Who doesn't anyway?.. I can see that you do keep your house really clean.. Do you also feel relaxed every time you wake up in the morning and you find your house clean enough to make you smile for the new day? I mean, you know, I get irritated waking up with a messy house.. It's just not a good idea to start my day with.. So what we do here is clean again before we sleep at night.. Thanks!

Things are always clean are the kitchen, bath, bedrooms, floors. It is a general cleaning always do, nothing is left dirty, using logical and 2 dogs everything costs much more to keep it clean, but a good cleaning is done thoroughly once a week.

I do my general cleaning once a week during Sundays or Saturdays, the rest of the week, I only prioritize the kitchen and bathroom and a little dusting and sweeping on some other parts of the house..

Like most people here, the bathroom and the kitchen are my priority areas too. I think this has to be since these two areas are most germ prone and also related to personal hygiene. Apart from this, I have to clean the balcony regularly…we stay on the main road and the amount of dust that accumulates on the balcony floor is just amazing…even if I clean it regularly in the morning, by evening it will have a fine layer of dust on it.

yeah, dust are very stubborn and they can cause terrible discomfort. Sometimes I wish that it will always rain to stop the dust from getting into our houses..lol

My kitchen and my bathroom are places i like to keep the cleanest in my house. these are two rooms where a lot of time is spent by myself and others every day. it is important for self worth to have a clean house. I always start with these two rooms. The rest just falls into place.

I am obsessed with my kitchen and my floors. I have young children and my youngest is 11 months. He's like a little vacuum cleaner because he can find any little spec of dirt in the carpet and you know where it will go next, the mouth. My husband and i are both clean freaks so the whole house has to stay in order so that we can stay sane.

yes, having kids is making every parent clean freak and I also saw that from my parents especially my mom. She's the one who really taught me how to maintain cleanliness inside and outside our house.. Thanks mom..

hi friends, cleanig is the most important part one. in my home i first clean the hall and kitchen. because if the guest arrive our home first they look at the hall. i think that first impression is the best. so if the hall is look clean then it will be the good thinking about our family to our guests.

yes you're right, just add the bathroom with them since visitors also tend to use the bathroom only to check how clean it is as well. :)

I usually at least try to keep the kitchen and the bathrooms clean. This takes up most of my time, but I somehow manage to keep the laundry done too LOL
• Philippines

It's good that you at least try to make both kitchen and bathrooms tidy, they are really important. For the laundry, I hate to see my laundry hamper with my used clothes on it so what I do is at least fold my used clothes and pile them on the hamper so it would not look so messy.

My room is always a mess, I don't own the house so I am not in charge of anything but my room and my bathroom. The problem with that is, if you looked in either my bedroom or my bathroom, they look like they haven't been cleaned in a long, long while. Hahah! I'm just a teenager, so this is pretty normal. I'm hoping when I get a real house I'm going to just organize and clean that, but until then I'll be a packrat. :D

I guess it is better for you to start cleaning your own room and bathroom even though you don't own the house since it is were you are comforting your self. And also, being a teenager is not an excuse for you not to clean your surroundings. It is even best to learn how to clean your house at an early age. It's just a matter of being responsible and organized..

Here I go, I am going to admit I hate but love cleaning. Let me tell you a little story that might help you understand what I mean. The last time I lived with my grandparents was maybe 6 months (I think though it's been awhile so I forget) to a year before I met my husband. When I moved back in with my grandparents the bathroom of the bedroom I was using was filthy. I remember taking some scrubbing bubbles to the sink and making it clean, and look so much better. It disgusted me that it hadn't been done in awhile. However, at the same time I hate cleaning and if I could get away with it would only clean once things get that dirty and I get disgusted at it. Now I am changing my tune a bit, I am more into cleaning because it makes me feel better... Before it was no way Jose! In any case, I think the bathroom and the kitchen are the two most important, with dusting everywhere being the third. Also cleaning the surfaces where you regularly set plates of food or drinks (anywhere in the house) is a must.

It's nice to hear that you feel better cleaning the house especially now that you have your own family. I must be sure that your husband will love you for this. For me, cleaning the house was never a problem for me since I grew up cleaning my own room and helping cleaning the whole house. As a matter of fact, it is one of my hobbies.Though it's quite tiring, the prize is worth it. I also like cleaning alone rather than having someone to help me with it.

I guess you better clean your room as well. Don't just clean the parts that is visible to other people. It is better to clean the house for your self and not just for other people. They should be the least of your priority when cleaning, do it for your self for you to have a comfortable and germ free environment. Agree? hehe

I always keep clean the bathroom, the kitchen and living room, because when you have visitors, they really pay atention of those places. First the bathroom because is delicate place in the house where you know what things we do in there, then the kitchen because if it not clean you can get some insects, and the living room because is where they are going to sit, talk, watch tv, etc, etc.
• Philippines
26 Aug 10
yeah, you're absolutely right. Some visitors are somewhat like critics who judge you on what they see and what they observe. So for us not be be judged negatively, we make sure that every part of the house is clean and tidy especially the ones they initially see during their entrance.

• Philippines

We do take adequate care to keep the floors,bath room and table tops where we normally dine perfectly clean. Besides,the surrounding ground space that makes for us a small kitchen garden always needs our attention for cleanliness and hygienic. We are fully conscious of the sanitary and hygienic need of our habitation,and try our best to use proper soaps,disinfectants,and pesticides to maintain a germ free and clean environment. Thanks.

Yeah, a proper cleaning and time is really needed to have a germ free and comfortable environment. Being conscious on how our own house should be clean is really necessary for us to be free from sickness.. :)

My bedroom, bathroom and my kitchen, i see to it that this areas were smells good and things in here were in order, i don't like dis-organized things. it makes my head ache.
• Philippines
25 Aug 10
yeah unorganized things inside the house contributes to head aches and this is true since you are not comfortable to see things around especially when you want to relax and calm yourself. It's just a matter of don't mess up the house if you don't know how to put it back in it's proper order.. :)

Since I am living on my own now, I only clean the living room after every two days since I am not spending too much of my time here not unless I have some visitors but I make sure to sweep and dust it daily..

I try to keep everything pretty clean, because I am a clean freak and also a perfectionist. But if I was really strapped for time, I guess I would only clean the bedroom, because that is where you sleep, so that room being very clean is really important for me. But I do agree that keeping the bathroom, as well as the kitchen, very clean is just as important!
• Philippines
25 Aug 10
me too is a perfectionist when it comes to making the house clean and organize. I always see to it that all things are in it's proper places and position as well. Sometimes, i hate when my friends want to have an overnight with me since they would just mess up and I will end up cleaning all by myself.. hehe

My kitchen, my bathroom and my bedroom are my first choices. There is no compromise at all. Then comes my living room. Generally, I would like the whole house to be clean, atleast dust and pest free.
• Philippines
25 Aug 10
yeah at least dust and pest free since they can cause us sickness.
