Is being to clean annoying?

jkleman79

So I want some opinions from people on here.. I am a VERY clean person to the point of if I clean things get dismantled and detailed every time. When a room gets cleaned it wiped down from walls to floors, trim and cabinets cleaned out. I am not usually able to half *kitten* this. Its all or nothing. I have lost significant others to this problem, but I don't see an issue with it. I mean who doesn't like a clean house. Its way more relaxing and comfortable, and of course what woman doesn't want a man that cleans that good for them, and they don't even have to help. I found that very bizarre from my last relationship. K give me some feed back. Thanks!

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands. Good for burning the cals I guess. I like things clean & tidy but really?

I guess it wouldn't bother me, but to be quite honest I have 3 litlte boys, 2 dogs, and a husband. In order for my house to be spotless, they'd all have to move out! So Im sure our houses look much different. You have a "show room" home, and we have a kid evaded home! ")

I would feel like I had to clean all the time because you are cleaning and THAT would be exhausting. Also I would not like to be feeling like snuggling on the sofa and you are too worried about the trash can needing to be wiped down. Now, i like a man that would help clean but I'm too busy living my life to worry a lot about my house being spotless! ...the walls and trim thing may be a bit much

No.

I wish I could hire you as a butler.

A good rule of thumb I have learned is ... if your company feel the need to ask permission to sit on your furniture or at your table... or if they are afraid to sit or touch anything, you may have cleaned a little too much.

OMG this is ME!!!!! I cant stand at all a messy house...I want no dust no dirt no nothing......if something is not in its place I throw it out....i dont care what it is or how much it cost.....its gone.....my kids cant stand this but really I work hard and all I want to do is come home to a clean house and if i dont my "other" personality comes out....they even call me Hitler....they really do.....The kids even like to take something and turn it and take bets on how long it will take me to figure out its moved......oh ya i'm obsessive about it. I HATE CLUTTER!

I forgot.....when putting groceries away...the kids know the fridge needs to look like the cooler at a supermarket...labels out even lines nice and neat,.... the cupboards same thing...I know its a problem....but i cant help myself.

getting rid of a partner due to their ability to clean things well is bizarre... not to mention rediculous ESPECIALLY if your not asking for help... btw, could you send some of your cleanliness vibes this way so i may give them to my husband

Nothing wrong with wanting a clean and healthy environment, i think that's great. But if it comes to a point of an obsession *OCD* then it could pose a problem

Personally, I would love it! Mr Monk is my hero. Too bad I am already married and my hubby is pretty good about cleaning and cooking, too, ha, ha. She just wasn't right for you; probably if you were messy it would wind up the same.

I for one would love that, unless it means that instead of enjoying life your constantly cleaning. Is there any balance, can you just relax sometimes or does the "mess" drive you nutters?

Will you marry me?

Well, I guess that depends. Do you get mad or annoyed if someone makes a bit of a mess & doesn't clean it immediately? I wouldn't mind having a bf that cleans house (mine currently does not :laugh:) but I would also not mind to have a house a little less clean & more time with my bf.

For me it would all come down to how much time are you cleaning & is it taking your time away from others.

gailosborne

marry me lol

You sound like you may have OCD. If you are cleaning things over and over or you criticize the way others clean and do it again yourself I can see why you have lost significant others. Clean is good, OVER clean is not! Remember Felix Unger from The Odd Couple? TOO much "cleaning" drives everyone else crazy. Since this has effected your life in bad ways i.e. you've lost significant others due to this you may need some professional help. Good luck.

Hey, we're twins! Except I got meds for my disorder. Look into it... (Totally kidding man. You're fine. (Well, not kidding about the meds, but seriously... I think you're okay).

My house is far from super tidy but i do sit there with my husband on the couch and i am worrying about what i should be doing instead of just sitting on the couch. that usually isnt enough to make me go do it but it does distance me from being in the moment, which I can admit is becoming a problem.

Well i for one HATE HATE HATE cleaning things though i will...so i would say that is a plus:) But it could be a problem if it is an obsession. Say she wants to hang out, watch a movie, go out or whatever and your sitting there cleaning the walls. You know?

Just find that happy medium. Girls aren't gonna want to feel like having things clean is more important then them.

Oh and im NOT saying you do any of this!

The short answer is yes. If you want the long answer, let me know!

Nah see I just clean up as I go.. so you wash each dish as you use it dry it put it away. Garbage goes out when its full, pick up things instead of walking by them. If you are already going somewhere then why dont you bring something with you that goes there. I dont clean over and over once they are clean but I like to keep them this way. So you can always have things put away and it looks clean, but once a week or every couple then they should all be wiped down again. Kind of like if you move something you should vacuum or sweep under it before its put back. If you clean your cupboards then everything comes off of them and wiped down and put back on a clean counter. Its thorough but not obsessive.

Haha she was the one that got mad at me for always wanting to be out and about. I am very social person. Maybe thats why my house stays the way I want it.. I am never there. Clean it and enjoy it while you are there and after that go golfing or something. =0)

jkleman79

The one other thing I do a lot of is cooking and I do it well, but I am fast at it. So the one thing I have always had problems with is if you have company or right now I have roommates which is KILLING ME quickly. So the one thing is having things put away in your kitchen in the wrong place when you need it you cant find it. I am a very analytical person and everything is done according to time. Yea i know I am a freak haha! I am working on this. Thats why I work in logistics I guess.

MakingAChoice

Yep it is annoying, sounds a bit OCD to me. I guess as long as your partner is the same way you would be fine. Do not ever plan on having kids though because they will drive you nuts trying to keep up with your level of clean. I can clean quickly and efficiently when needed, for a party or something. Otherwise my house it fairly 'lived in' most of the time. My daughter had a friend come over that has a mom that is a clean freak and he said he loved that our house actually looked like someone lived in it. He felt much more comfortable in our house than he did at home. So I guess it depends on your personality as to whether it is annoying or not. It would drive me nuts to live like that. I have much better things to do with my time than to spend hours cleaning.

If the one you are sharing your place with feels like they can live there it shouldn't be a problem. My husband used to come behind me and wash utensils I wasn't finished with while I was in the middle of cooking and I would reach for it and it had disapeared. I used to be the straightener and he used to be more of the cleaner. After two kids we are alot more lax but maybe someday soon we can have a clean and straight house. Kids are much better than a perfact house.

Well then i see no reason why that would be a problem. My step mother is a VERY clean person. No crumbs can be left in the toaster and they certainly cant even TOUCH the place mats. The only reason i find her being SO CLEAN irritating and annoying is because she makes EVERYTHING in our house having to be perfect and clean and it makes me irritated because she's constantly saying do this or do that. BUT you seem like its just YOU doing the cleaning and not her.

The way you are describing everything...doesn't sound like a problem. Unless some girls are jealous that you can clean better:D

clean better!:laugh:That's one thing I would NOT be jealous of- I would welcome someone that could clean better than me- then I wouldn't be the only one cleaning :laugh:

I have lost significant others to this problem, ...

There's your answer.

clean better!:laugh:That's one thing I would NOT be jealous of- I would welcome someone that could clean better than me- then I wouldn't be the only one cleaning :laugh:

Haha neither would i but there are some strange chicks out their!

Amo_Angelus

ehhh Chris is like that sometimes, he's also lazy though and I actively encourage that because when he does clean he takes forever and does EVERYTHING! He says to me "Just sit there, I'll do it" and then of course I can't! I have to help. But he niggles every out of place item, thankfully, he's also lazy and so while he has days of head to toe cleaning, they're only once a month or it would never work between u as I clean when things annoy me, until it's preentable and then stop. I do not move furniture every time I weep the floor, nor do I move the microwave when I wipe down the kitchen sides every day.

jkleman79

I am not gonna live in a house uncomfortable or constantly picking up after an ADULT that can do it themselves. I am sure there is way more than two women out there that find this annoying that would love it. So not worried about it.
