What is a clean house? How do you define 'clean' in your life and in your home?
How do you accomplish it? Do you accomplish it? Do you feel as if you're failing or succeeding?

Life? Must be nice to have a clean, organized life! I have enough trouble with the house... :)
I don't know the definition of clean any more. :)
I love that! "Company ready" very descriptive.
I'm a major spot cleaner. If I spot it I clean it, but what I don't see doesn't bother me.
I've been under the impression recently that I have a dirty house. Not messy but dirty. Every little comment seems to be like a dagger in my homemaker pride.
Is my house really so bad? I wonder if I'm a bad housekeeper or if I'm a normal housekeeper comparing myself to a good one.
So this is the low down (brutal) of my house.
There is a constant pile of laundry by the washing machine. Sometimes I even forget I own certain things because the turn around is so slow.
The bathroom always smells like pee and I'm not sure I've ever cleaned the shower. In fact, I'm not sure I know how to clean a shower... but it doesn't look dirty so how dirty can it really be?
My bedroom, where the diapers are changed and tossed constantly smells exactly like thrown away diapers.
9 times out of 10 there is food imbedded in the carpet of the family room because my kids can't remember how and where to eat.
And that's not even starting on the kids bedrooms, which can range from crazy to clean to crazy in about 2 seconds.
I'm not sure when I washed my windows. And I'm pretty sure I've only ever washed my walls maybe 5 times in three years.
Am I normal? Or worse than normal!? What is normal?
I no longer care about how my kids' room looks. Eventually they'll realize they can't find anything and clean it. I'll help them when that day comes.

On laundry--one load a day helps. I have one basket for each of us that way when it's done I can put it away more quickly instead of walking it around from room to room. And I don't get into separating by color, most of our stuff is dark anyway.
I'm really bad about cleaning the shower too :)
I remember resisting my mom when it came to cleaning the bathroom so hard that I don't think I learned a thing about how to clean it.
I pour bleach into my toilet and call it good, I take bleach water and my mop and wash the floor and outside of the toilet and I wash the sinks and mirror. When I notice grime around the doors knobs and light switches I clean that too, but I admit I'm not consistent on the bathroom.
Aw Claire, you warmed my heart right up. Thanks.
Ha! Love it, I love getting rid of things too. But I totally freecycle everything, that way I don't have to deal with it more than to stick it on my doorstep. :)
