I don't clean my house to make it presentable to others I clean my house so it's pleasant for me to be in

by ChipmunkSpare297 3 months ago

I never get this reasoning of cleaning just to be "presentable". I live alone and I rarely have guests over, but I don't want to live in filth! I dust and clean all the time. I clean the kitchen every night so that I can wake up to a clean space to make breakfast. I organize my possessions, so that I don't have to go searching the whole house whenever I need an item. Clutter also causes me stress, which is not good for my mental health and my bedroom stays clean and organized as well. Living in chaos is not good.

I disagree when it comes to the bedroom. Sheets and blankets create a ton of dust and for an area that is supposed to be recouperative, it makes sense to remove extra particulates that also contain pollutants as well as dead skin cells that feed bacteria and mites.

The bedroom and the kitchen are actually the only two places I actually care about keeping clean lol. I can't relax in a dirty room

by Lindgrenrosetta 3 months ago

And the bathroom!! So… having that much to clean already why not do the living room too. 🤣🤣

by Vrau 3 months ago

So there are no sheets and no mattress? I think it no longer qualifies as being a bedroom at that point.

It seems like you view the point of cleaning as making your house presentable to others. It does have that effect, but for a lot of people (myself included), cleaning makes any house nicer to live in. It's totally demotivating to trip over clutter walking from one room to another, or to have a storage room that's basically a landfill. If you keep your house clean, I guarantee your mood on the day-to-day will increase

It's okay if YOUR bedroom is messy because you're the one who has to live in it. It's also okay to not want to live like that.

Our bedroom definitely get neglected. We do wash the bedding regularly, and our laundry. It's not a pigsty or anything, it's just the "catchall" for a lot of stuff in our house. Our kids will devour our snacks in one sitting at 1am, so things we get for ourselves we hide in our room 😂 There is a chest in our room that is just a constant rotation of my clothing. I WFH so I'll be in my PJ pants for a couple hours until I work at 10am, then I put on normal clothes cause I feel gross working in my PJs. But then I need jeans to walk the dog because it's cold, but hate wearing jeans otherwise so they come off after the walk. Then in the evening, back to PJ pants. So I just leave all those clothes rotating throughout the week. Morning is cold so I need my hoodie but I take it off later in the day. If someone needed to see our bedroom it would take all of 2 minutes to tidy it up quick, so it's not a huge deal. I could be better about it but executive function issues mean I get done what I can and prioritize things that are more important like the kitchen and bathroom. Then on the rare and random "firing on all cylinders, have all the energy!" days I spend hours doing the deeper cleanings and bigger projects like the garage or basement. I might not clean the bedroom thoroughly weekly, but when I do I'm down there with a toothbrush scrubbing every inch. Sometimes my husband leaves for a 2-day work thing and when he comes home I rearranged and painted the whole room 😂

A clean organised house helps to get a clean organised mind. Clutter and stuff takes up a lot of mental space, even if you are not directly aware of it. Your not cleaning for other persons, you do it for your own body and mind. OP sounds just a tad lazy.

Why was your ex the one primarily responsible for all the cleaning? And your contribution was cleaning the kitchen, a couple times of week, when she asked?

What are you doing in your kitchen that requires it to be cleaned multiple times a week?

by dixie24 3 months ago

I mean I deep clean every room once a week. Throughout the week I just tiddy up. Everything has a place and I make sure everything is in its place. I cant fathom living in clutter. It hurts my soul. I will even clean other people's homes if I am over there and it's messy. I try and do it when they leave the room but I usually get caught. I just don't like being around it

…define consistently…

by ardith60 3 months ago

I get that. For some people they like their place to appear presentable in the areas in which others will have social interactions in, while at the same time leaving a little mess to feel lived in, in other areas not frequented by those outside the home. I never did like the feel of a completely clean home. It doesn't feel like someone is even living there and I hate it.

by Anonymous 3 months ago

yeah I let the bedroom slide too easily too, but it feels real good when it's tidy. And my en-suite and my office. Minging rooms too often though. If you ask me the kitchen is the most important, followed by the living room, and then the hallway and staircase. Bathroom is probably cleaned as often as my office room

by Kindly-Hornet 3 months ago

Nuh uh. I'm learning the hard way that dusting is a thing I have to do at least once a week.

by Anonymous 3 months ago

I agree, I sweep and mop my living room and kitchen and bathrooms weekly, sometimes a few times a week. My bedroom is clean for the most part. But I do need to sweep and mop like once every 2 or 3 weeks and dust

by Anonymous 3 months ago

You must not be allergic to dust...

by Anonymous 3 months ago

I'm sort of a agree to a point. I think that the bathroom and kitchen is where most of the worst filth accumulates. So I make it a priority to at least make sure those are clean if I am feeling lazy or depressed. If I am having a normal day and am cleaning I will try clean in every room though.

That's why I usually keep my bedroom door closed when I have people over.

I clean the house cause I like my house being clean. I don't want to sleep in a bunch of dead skin and grime, or see a finger thick layer of dust on my shelves. Not to mention the heavy, musty smell that accumulates when you neglect cleaning for a while. I don't want that in my space, especially the room I sleep in.

by Typical_Public 3 months ago

Depends whose house it is and who shares that room. If it only affects you, sure.

by Virtual_Aspect5525 3 months ago

Depends. I personally think that cluttered living quarters lead to a cluttered mind, so I've been making an effort to keep everything squared away.

AND run drain cleaner when it don't flow

by Justine80 3 months ago

Agreed on this one. It's your space, so live in it how you want. Honestly I believe most people will keep it fairly reasonable just from what they personally want. I've been friends with filthy people but that's a minority for sure. and there's a big big difference between cluttered/nest-y and dirty

by Comfortable-Fix 3 months ago

It's okay to keep your own personal space as clean or unclean as you want, but if those spaces are shared with other people, you need to be considerate and keep it at a level of clean they find acceptable too.

by Anonymous 3 months ago

Yeah, it's okay, but any area of your house is more pleasant and enjoyable if it's clean. Instead of doing it for other people, do it for yourself.

by richieturcotte 3 months ago

I kinda take this into account in certain ways; for instance the living room gets vacuumed daily, the bedroom every few days. There's less traffic there and never shoes. But letting it get messy is a different story.

by Solid-Comfort-5356 3 months ago

No. I don't need to clean anything. Because I don't have visitors.

by Jaclyn15 3 months ago

A cluttered bedroom will eventually spread out. My wife and I are renting a room to one of her siblings who cannot keep their room clean for even a day and brings that chaotic energy to other areas of the house - never putting dishes away in the same place, taking ketchup from one spot in the fridge and putting it back in another, leaving the bathroom our kid also uses super messy.
