Every time i finish the job with an object, i put in place. When i change, folded clothes nice and also put them in place. Wash the dishes as soon as we finish cooking / eating, even if i only drink one cup wash your tea, do not let them get together. If i have dirty something somewhere clean immediately, is the easiest, if you leave more to collect, house is a mess and then you do not feel like so clean. I so do, I like to always be clean, when things around me are clean and well arranged, it happens within me. I think you can keep your house in order only when not leave the mess behind you, that wherever you walk, whatever you do, collect all the behind.

i hate my house to be mess, i always put everything in place. and if i saw one then i will pick them up and put them in the proper place. i still believe that our house is the perfect place to relax and how can we relax if theres a lot of mess everywhere. so better yet fix those things up so that every time im home i will just have full rest.

Our home is our mirror as individuals is our nest to go back again and again, is our intimacy;

That's a good question since I just finished spring cleaning my apartment. I completely agree with you that a home mirrors who we are as individuals. When my home is a mess, i feel like a mess. But I must admit sometimes it is hard to follow those rules of putting things back as soon as you use them. Especially when you have children. Granted mine is only six months old, but it still creates a bit of difficulty. If you ask me it takes more than one person to do it. If you are a family of more than two, you must all follow suit and stick to the routine.

That is not what happens in our case, it's really a mess here in the apartment cause nobody seems to want to clean. The dishes gets piled up until somebody would volunteer to wash it. The floor is only vacuumed during the weekends, the same with the rest of the apartment. We don't seem to have enough time to clean before and after work so everything is cleaned in the weekends, sometimes, even in the weekend we won't clean up, so just imagine the mess here.

My apartment is in a terrible state, due to chronically low energy levels on my part. Even a simple task such as changing from inside to outside clothes is quite an effort for me requiring psyching myself up with music or something; it's that bad. Energy-wise, I am running on empty. I rarely dust or vacuum and cannot tolerate detergents, and I don't even own a broom. Somehow though I manage to survive. Paradoxically, I am forever washing my hands!

It depends on your definition of clean is. If you are talking about clean in the sense that everything looks perfect and in the right place, then that is pretty much not true. Of course, it is kind of impossible to achieve that level of clean. Okay, maybe not impossible, but rather hard the more you think about it. The moment you move, there is a chance that everything will get out of order. However, it looks presentable. It is not the best looking house. Or the worst looking house. It is just looks good enough where a normal person would not be appalled to see the state of this. People who are obsessed with cleaning, they might cringe a bit. However, I do keep everything rather presentable to the point where its not that awful looking.

My house is a mess but I try to keep it clean. I have little child and if I want everything to be in order then I'd just have to do housework all the time. Hmm..no thanks. I Don't like my house to be like a museum but I try to keep it clean.

I think I have always been living through the phase of untidiness in my home! Things are slowly starting to change now though as I came to a decision that I would start making an effort in order to keep my home in some kind of order! I think that there's a level of achievement to be had in doing this. So, I'm starting slow and I'm trying to do a bit of cleaning on a daily basis now and eventually the whole place will be spotless! I don't want to take too much on too soon for fear that I would put myself off forever! Andrew

I can't say my home is in perfect condition. I am sure there are some issues that are left unsolved, but you can't call it a mess too. I think it looks quite good, there are no things that would disturb ones sight. We also try to restore the good look as soon as we end using something, but you can't keep an eye on everything and so we sometimes need to have a general cleaning, because there is dust collected in the corners or drawers could do with some sorting etc.

Hi marianna45! I still live alone in my flat now. Since I am alone, I try to not to make my flat messy since no one will clean up the mess for me. I do have visitors often so it would be very embarrassing if a girl has a messy house. I don't like to see clutter. It's always good to see everything in order. Happy mylotting!

I don't have magic hands that will clean everything behind me as I go, but my wife and I absolutely try to keep things as clean as we can. That usually means setting aside certain times to clean, rather than always cleaning, though we are continually kept busy with cleaning. Now we have to be even cleaner because we have a new puppy in the condo and we can't let her eat our things!

I'd say it depends on the character if your house is a mess or perfectly clean. Since I'm living with my parents, the house is clean, but my room is a mess. I can perfectly leave it behind in the state it gets without tidying up, but even though... If you wait long enough, you just know something is wrong and clean it up

My house is always kept clean, I know because I'm the one that has to clean it all the time. My partner can be a bit messy so I have to clean up after him.

Since it's just me and my dog, there is never a lot to do as far as cleaning. I usually put things away as I go. I normally do the dishes for the day, after dinner, there isn't that many used during the day. And I make a check of each room before going to bed, and pick up whatever needs to be. I also fix the coffee pot for the next morning, so that it's ready to go. The main room that I like to wake up to clean is the kitchen, I hate walking into a dirty kitchen in the morning.I normally dust, vacuum and mop once a week.

My house is not perfectly clean, but it is not a mess either. Being a single mother of 4 young children and also having 4 dogs and 2 cats, it is hard to keep it perfectly clean. However, it is not a mess either. My house is lived in. I do the dishes every night after supper. I try to keep up with the laundry, but this gets difficult at times. I pick things up throughout the week. On Saturdays, the house always gets a thorough cleaning and then we start all over. The kids all have chores to do and this has helped out a lot. Now if I could teach the dogs to pick up their toys when they are done playing with them, it would be wonderful.

I wish it was clean all the time, but alas, it is not. I do try to pick up as I go, but with a baby and 3 dogs, it gets a little hectic. If I win the lottery, I will definitely hire some one to come in once a week and clean it for me. I also like things better when they are clean and picked up, so I don't let it get too out of hand.

we always try to keep our house clean but its difficult if you have children around the house, specially when you are too many. we are currently 12 in our house including the two children. since we try to clean it in the morning and in the afternoon, its usually a little messy in the middle of the day.
