The way you keep your house, is a reflection on you. Do you believe that. I quess that can be true. How well do you keep your house clean? do you clean it everyday, every week. how often. My bedroom stays a mess, but I try to keep everything else clean. Do you?

I try to keep a clean house. I clean whenever i have the energy or when i just can't stand to see something askew. I ALWAYS keep the kitchen clean cause that's the the sanitaty thing to do. but my bedroom too is always a mess of clothes and a variety of other things! Oh and the bathroom is ALWAYS clean too. unless my husbands just been in there of course. then there is hair in the sink and pee on the rim!

My house is lived in, everyone who comes over is comfortable here. I do try to keep things relativly clean. I am not one of those cleaning nuts. I have more important things to do than clean all day, like spend time on Mylot, haha.

I clean my house a lot. I like it to look neat and clean and in order. Especially the kitchen and living room areas. My beds are a mess, I gave up on makeing them. I vacume daily.

Its correct. Cleanliness is a direct reflection on our personality. I make sure everything in My Home & office stays clean.

I clean the bathrooms and kitchen every morning and evening. . I clean the bathtubs only once a day. My family all helps with general clean-up every day -- my house needs to be nice and tidy. My kids clean their rooms daily. My man vacuums every evening. I dust and mop every Wednesday and Saturday. I do other jobs as needed -- like windows once a week. . .I guess I have a mild case of OCD, not really I just like a clean house.

i believe that is true, I try to keep my house straightened up as much as possible, but for cleaning such as dusting and vacuuming and mopping floors, that usually only happens once a week.

Yes I do that once a week too, except vacuuming I half to do it everyday, because My husband is a pig. LOL.

I hope that it is not a reflection, at least in my case. I clean my house everyday and try hard not to mess it up, but my kids go behind me in a tornado and mess everything up. I can imagine what some people might think.

I keep the parts of my house that everyone sees clean, but like you my bedroom is a mess. I don't know if I would say that it was a mess or just cluttered as most everything that I don't have a place for ends up in my bedroom. I clean the main parts of my house everyday and then the bedrooms only get done once a week. Unless of course I just get bored then I may do my bedroom a couple of times a week.

Yes, I think it's about time to get my bedroom together. It needs a make over.

to ease the burden of cleaning i usually clean everything daily to prevent staining that might be hard to clean after a week. i usually do partial cleaning of bathroom after taking a bath then lavatory after brushing teeth too then if i use the kitchen stove & sink gonna leave it clean & dry. arrange bedroom every now & then so that the vacuuming & general cleaning be only once a week or every other week then for the whole house.

I am always cleaning. lol. At least that is what it seems like. I pick up in rooms every day and do dishes twice a day. I dust and vacuum once a week and then I detail clean each room once a month. It works out well for me and my house is usually always clean.

Cleaning is a never ending job. When a mother is raising children, it is impossible to keep a spotless house. I do not think that the way we keep house says anything about us unless we live in such a dirty house that we have to kick our way through. That says alot about the housekeeper. My bedroom is always a mess. The rest of the house is usually clean
