I can't relax in a dirty or cluttered place, and I like to feel relaxed.
by Galeanda on April 13th, 2008
Just wanting to be clean and neat for myself, my husband and any visitors. I feel it shows respect to others and to how I feel about my home if I keep it clean. If you don't care about something, you don't take care of it.

If I would let it get out of hand I know that I would never be able to recover... I must stay pretty neat!!!

Clutter drives me crazy. Clean is good.

It used to be my brother in law, Dan, with his nasty comments that made their way back to me. But as I got used to being a wife and mother, I got used to doing alot of housework. Eventually, I was so used to it being clean that it was the only way I wanted it to be.

Shame...that someone will think that I am a slob..I guess

I am motivated by the fact that I am an anal clean freak =)

Positive energy that I wish to surround myself with. I never feel positive with a dirty house, yuk.

if I don't I CANT FIND SHIT
by Rose is getting sleepy on February 27th, 2009
My extreme frustration at not being able to find things when I want them. I can get quite obsessive when I lose something and will hunt until I find it. My increasing bad temper as I search is motivation for everyone to help me find it - and I nearly always do eventually.

Unexpected visitors.
by Carpediem COAT ab imo pectore on August 2nd, 2008
I enjoy seeing my home tidy and very clean, I do it for myself.
by Sexyrabbit on April 28th, 2008
My cat gives me dirty looks.. lol
by GiraffeyedDonor-ish on April 28th, 2008
Nothing really...a clean house is much more pleasant than a dirty house. And if I tidy it up every day, then I won't have to do all the work one day.
by Egico is now Egioz on April 28th, 2008
The prospect of visitors!
by Trakeveth on April 28th, 2008
The thought of unexpected company dropping by and the feeling of embarrassment that I would experience if the house was a mess.
by Tussen on April 14th, 2008
Nothing, it's why we have a maid.
by Doggie S on April 13th, 2008

by Roselynn...unregistered text offender... on April 14th, 2008
we have an open door policy at my house.
People come in and out all day every day.
Even when we arent home.
Lol.
So yeah.
Having people looking around your house constantly kinds is motivation to keep it clean.

The fact that it's starting to look a bit disheveled it needs to be tidied up and especially if I have company coming over.
by ImNotAnonymous-COAT of Maestro-ness on April 13th, 2008
Nothing my house is a mess.
by Gonzo on April 13th, 2008
When I know Im having guests, I have to make sure it's looking a little bit decent.
by Brian on April 13th, 2008
I don't like tripping over things and I like to be able to find them.
I'd rather breath air than dust and I like to have clean surfaces on which to put food and utensils.
That's why when I pulled up my old carpeting and exposed the relatively new hardwood floor underneath I left it that way.
Now I just have a few small and conveniently washable fabric area rugs instead.

If our house is clean and tidy, I see a high quality of mood of happiness in my wife. In order to keep her happy and joyful, I try to keep house clean and tidy.
