How are your housecleaning habits?

My housecleaning habits are horrible. I put my dishes and eating utensils in the sink and let them sit uncleaned for around a month. When I need something to eat on I take it out of the sink and rub it down with an old towel I’m using as a rag. I don’t use soap. I was letting my cat share my milk while I ate a meal. He drank out of the same cup I was drinking from. I started getting a feeling of mild pain in my tongue, and I checked it out in the mirror, and I have a hole in my tongue surrounded with dead skin. I washed all my dishes with soap and hot water, and I’m not going to allow my cat to share my milk out of the cup I drink in any more. I’m thinking about getting another container for him to drink milk out of. I really spoil my cats. Believe it or not, there are guys who keep house worse than I do. There aren’t a lot of them, but they are around. How are your housekeeping habits?

You’re a kindred soul. I usually corrupt my roommates, so they become nearly as messy as me.

I’m kinda messy. my clothes usually end up on the floor instead of the drawers and my papers get spread around the house.

a positive though, I do the dishes every night before bed. mostly I just try to keep the mess confined to my room.

I’m usually pretty neat.

I make my bed every morning,

Keep clothes put away or in designated baskets,

Do the dishes every night,

All that.

Sometimes I can let things get a little cluttered when I don’t feel well,

But its always cleanish.

Housecleaning? What’s that?

I’m pretty much the messiest person I know.

We have professional cleaners come over once a month.
This helps a lot.

But I manage to clean up after myself, like the dishes and stuff.

I manage not to be a complete slob but I wish I was able to shower more frequently.

Not good, since I got sick.

It stresses me out, but I have zero motivation to do anything. Normal people cannot imagine what it feels like to lose all your drive to do things. Everything is hard, and it makes you feel so helpless. I want to live in a clean house, but it feels near impossible to stay on top of everything.

I’m extremely clean. I try to clean up everyday. I also run an airbnb rental, so I have to clean it frequently. Clutter makes me anxious, so I’m a minimalist by nature and try to only have things I need. I enjoy cleaning and find it to be therapeutic.

So am I, but I’m a minimalist so I don’t have to bother with as much cleaning.

my home is usually pretty clean. I enjoy organizing and cleaning.

If I could afford it, I would pay you to come over and clean my living area once a week.

I do dishes most days of the week. I rinse them off, but wash with soap when it starts building up. I have a long narrow Tupperware container I put soapy water in and toss silverware in that. I absolutely hate crusty dishes so that’s why they get rinsed first. I wash dishes by hand because the dishwasher is broke. Dirty dishes sitting around just makes me very anxious. They just need to be rinsed…I have to do the dishes if I know somebody is coming over too. Yeah…

Obsessively efficient or horrifyingly lax. Depends on where my head’s at. There is no in-between.

i use to be really bad at cleaning but i’m doing better since getting off ativan and haldol. getting an increase in some meds helped too. when i’m bad off my in laws and partner know it they see it as a sign i need help. well my in laws just yell but my partner sometimes helps.

laundry is my favorite chore. the hardest part for me is organization i can’t do it

I clean when hypermanic

My sink has a leak underneath the sink I’m waiting for my father to fix so I break down and wash my dishes in the bathroom

I am very neglectful of cleaning, I should devote at least an hour a week to it.

My mom always did it, but that’s kind of misogynist, plus she’s getting in on years, so I should make a habit of cleaning.

I just swept the dirtiest parts of the floor of my room. It made a big difference in my room’s appearance. I don’t know how much more I’ll do.
