How clean is your home?

Seven and a half. I have two indoor cats, one of whom consistently sheds fine hair--almost impossible to pick off the carpet. There always seems to be a secret hair ball or two which I have missed. Lol. My home is clean, quite tidy, but not compulsively so.
 
Two dogs, six cats, two kids, big old house and the rats climbing up the pear tree, they don't call me furry for nothing;)
2 1/2 on a bad day, 6 on a good one
 
Like Sharimar seven and a half - I also have a cat and she barfed up another fur ball to-day on my beige rug.
Cleaning lady comes every other Monday and I don\t do much in between. I have been busy making Christmas
cookies so my kitchen floor is a bit tacky, but she comes tomorrow.
 
Well I'd say 8.5 only because my sewing machine is in the repair shop ..if I had to take that room into account when deciding how clean / tidy my home is well the scale would be under 5 .....for that room..
 
Probably a "7" which is not bad for all the indoor/outdoor animals we have here. It will get cleaned again just before we have company again, next.
 
Clean?...you're supposed to Clean? I'm thinking of subscribing to the Quentin Crisp book of home management and housekeeping and he clearly states... There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse. ..and ...

Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level.:smug1:
 
Oy that a cleaning person would take one look at this place, then a brief glance at Callie, and run for their lives. I get rooms cleaned. But all the rooms at the exact same time is not going to happen.

Some stuff is just so blinking time consuming. The laundry is ongoing-all the socks that go to live with Jesus, the litter boxes ideally would be sifted daily at least, two bathrooms, cat yack, dust bunnies, something simple...putting my son's photos together. It took three days. Rounding up all the boxes, sorting the boxes, then organizing the results woooof.
 
Dusting is my downfall. I hate it.:p If my dust is clean, then I have a pretty clean house.;)

Clutter is also a problem, though, so I'd probably give it a 5.

:applause2: I love the way you think. With the exception of down right unhealthy, its all about what others think.
For myself, it depends on the room. The living room is about an 8. The bedroom is a 2. Over all. I'm a 5, but hey, I'm an old guy who walks precariously. No one coming to visit has its up side.
 
Our home is probably an 8.5. Biggest problem is dust. We have had a person come in to clean once a month, but that's ending after December. I told my wife that she and I will do a better job and save the money. I keep up with the vacuuming and she tends to make sure the bathrooms are clean. Both of us hate clutter, so the house stays pretty neat. Biggest problem is my office area, where there are always papers lying about, but that's going away soon. :)
 
My house will be cleaner when I decide to retire.. Hubby is retired and tries his best.. I am not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.. He cleans but not like how I would do it.. and I am going to complain.. The fact that we have 9 animals living with us doesn't help.. but I wouldn't trade all the love and companionship for the cleanest house in the world.
 
I'm with NancyNGA...if my dust is clean... Sometimes I just rearrange the dust so that it's neat and tidy; other times I just blow it off anything dark where it shows up more.

There are times when I rue the day I opted for a tiny living space, but cleaning time is not one of them. On a scale of 1-10, my place varies from 1-10 (this from a former cleaning fairy!).
 
Mine varies -- last week it was probably a 5, sometimes it's an 8 -- depends on what else I'm doing. Dust -- yikes -- everywhere -- but here, you can dust one day and the next day it looks like you haven't touched it in a year, especially if the wind has been blowing. I HATE housework, always have; and I'm ashamed to admit it hasn't improved since I've retired. Better things to do.
